Impacting our Nation through WORSHIP

Image
Greetings from Nepal.  I hope you had a blessed Christmas .   What's Happening in Nepal Nepal is a country where people worship 33 million gods. It is even said that there are more idols in the capitol of Kathmandu than their are people. When an individual comes to Christ, he/she needs training to shift their understanding from idol worship to worship of the living God. It is a long process. My uncle said it took him "nearly 10 years to understand that the Bible was more than a book of magic."  When it comes to worship leaders in a church nearly anyone can have the title "Worship Leader" just because he/she knows how to play the guitar and sing. So many churches are functioning with worship leaders who do not have a proper knowledge and right relationship with God, and thus worship is not as effective as it could be. It is our desire to facilitate trainings to empower the worship leaders first to live an intimate life of worship and then to lead...

Merry Christmas!!!

Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem ... wise men from the East came to Jerusalem,  2  saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him. ”   Matthew 2:1-2 It's interesting to look at how God chose to bring His Son into the world...He chose a young unknown girl, Mary to bear His child...He was not born in a palace, but a stable surrounded by animals (as I think about how I want to bring my baby into the world, a stable sounds frightening). AND He announced the birth of His son, not to the important people of that time but to a few shepherds who were low class citizens, yet somehow three wise men figured out what was going on and they travelled hundreds of miles to seek out the King of kings to worship Him and bring Him gifts. God's ways are so much higher than ours, yet He reveals it to those who are seeking, He chooses the weak things to shame the strong, the foolish things to shame the ...

For you created my inmost being

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together  in my mother’s womb. I praise you  because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Psalm 139:13-14 I remember when I was going through a hard time with my identity, I was encouraged by this Scripture. I asked God to help me know I am fearfully and wonderfully made just the way I am. The house mother of My Family Home , was raised as an orphan. She shared how she was touched by this very Scripture, she was not a mistake, she was loved by her Father who created her.  READ SANGA'S STORY Whatever you maybe going through, God is with you and loves you, He knit you together in your mother's womb and you are fearfully and wonderfully made! I also am touched by this Scripture now that I am pregnant again!! I am thankful God has blessed us with another life to touch this WORLD with His love. Yesterday we found out we are having a little BOY coming around May ...

Incomparably great power for us who BELIEVE

Image
We had the privilege of stopping in Israel on our way back to Nepal. Here we are at the Garden tomb. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father,  may give you the Spirit of wisdom  and revelation, so that you may know him better.   18  I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened  in order that you may know the hope to which he has called  you, the riches  of his glorious inheritance  in his holy people,   19  and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power  is the same as the mighty strength   20  he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead  and seated him at his right hand  in the heavenly realms,   21  far above all rule and authority, power and dominion,  and every name  that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.   Ephesians 1:17-21 As I have been reading and meditating on thi...

Give thanks to the Lord for He is good; His love endures forever.  Psalm 107:1 We have so many things to be thankful for everyday. God is a good Father who delights in giving us good gifts. This month we are thankful to God that Michael became a US citizen, so now we can officially go back to NEPAL!!! Thank you all for your prayers for this long process. We leave in 2 days!!! We are blessed to be able to make a short stop in Rome and also Israel where we will stay with some family friends and then make our way to Nepal mid October! We have a heart for the Nations so pray we can touch these countries and people with the love of Christ! Prayer  But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.  Acts 1:8 That we can be a mighty witness of Jesus saving power. Safe travels back to Nepal. No sickness. Shiyrah and Holly have had colds.  Tra...
