LIGHT 2 the WORLD

LIGHT up the darkness Michael and I weaved our way through the red cobble-stoned pathways of the age-old city, Dulikel, situated just 40 km east of Kathmandu. We followed the broken path, passing by a pool of forest green water, decorated with Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction, standing tall with trident in hand and his malevolent serpent draped around his neck. This was a stark reminder of the penetrating darkness that engulfs this land. We had come to this city to visit Michael’s uncle, Pastor Lila, his wife Rina and their 18 children who live with them,  Grace Orphan Home . We arrived with a warm welcome of hugs and smiling faces. What peace filled this happy home! They are truly a light piercing the darkness. Later that evening the sweet voice of children arose by candlelight as they sang the well known hymn in their Nepali tongue, “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness…” In the center of the room sat an <--- older lady dressed in a sky-...

Storing our TREASURE in Heaven "Turn around" Michael firmly said.  I managed to turn myself around on the crowded bus. We were going home after spending the night watching the  World Cup at Michael's cousins house.  "Your backpack is unzipped" Michael worriedly said. We both knew what just happened . . . my wallet was stolen--My credit card, Lisence and Michael's wedding ring. My heart sunk. Michael had taken his wedding ring off to sleep & I had safely put it in my wallet. Frustration & anger filled my heart. Lord, why? I breathed in and released my frustration & anger over to The Lord. Thank you Lord, I praise You. That evening Michael & I were encouraged by our reading from Luke 12, "“Provide yourselves...with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Michael's golden ring is merely an earthly treasur...

Greetings in Jesus Name, As I have been praying for how to encourage you the Lord has put John 14:13  "Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son." The power is already unleashed within YOU to do even greater things than The Lord Jesus Christ. Take hold of this promise in faith. YOU have been given life that defies death! O Lord, we pray You kindle afresh a fire within our soul that will burn with holy passion. Shine Your glory through us and so pierce the darkness. Unleash Your power within  us to do even greater things than The Lord Jesus. Ministry Update: July 11-22 Today  Michael and I are traveling to Dulikel, a two hour bus ride outside of Kathmandu to visit Grace Orphan Home, where 18 precious and beloved children live.

Gorkha Update 1 June 18th Michael and I are in Gorkha, his home village (5 hours from Kathmandu). We are trying to get court married under the Nepali government, but it has been difficult to work with the officials. We have already been here in Gorkha four days and not much work has been accomplished. We are learning to rejoice in all our circumstances , pray for & love those who mistreat us. We have been striving to make the most of our time while waiting . . . We have been able to share the gospel with many people who have never heard about Jesus. Yesterday we talked with two woman monks. One monk was so interested in the gospel she was nearly moved to tears. Pray for Sonam. Michael was invited to lead a worship workshop for one village church worship team. They were so hungry to learn more about leading worship they stayed for nearly 2 hours to learn by candle-light.   It is harvest time here in the village. Michael's aunt and uncle are harvesting rice. They...
