It seems the whole world has been shaken over the coronavirus. Psalm 46 has been so refreshing to read, think on and meditate. 
The LORD of hosts is with us! I encourage you to also read and meditate on it. 

God is our refuge and strength,
    a very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way,
    though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam,
    though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah
4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
    the holy habitation of the Most High.
5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved;
    God will help her when morning dawns.
6 The nations rage, the kingdoms totter;
    he utters his voice, the earth melts.
7 The Lord of hosts is with us;
    the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah

We are thankful we made it back to Nepal February 22nd. We had a good flight but as we arrived back the kids had very high fevers. Between jet lag and sickness it was very difficult. We were happy to have my parents and a family friend visit us. We were able to visit 4 children's (orphan) homes we (L2W) supports and go to Michael's cousins wedding. 

Coronavirus in Nepal: It is hard to know how many people have had the coronavirus since the hospitals have not been testing people. Everything is being shut down until end of April, schools, churches, any get togethers. Our church is dividing it's services so only around 25 people will meet at a time. We are advised to stay in our houses. We are excited to use this time to soak up God's Word and work on preparation for the Worship School we are planning to open next year. Michael is praying about doing a few small worship trainings during this time. 

 What's been going on in Nepal (in pictures): 

We had a church retreat with all the leaders and volunteers. We had a great
time of worship and reflection.

I shared the video of Sangeeta this summer and NOW our church is planning to plant two churches. One of the churches is birthed out of Sangeeta coming to Christ as her testimony of God has been heard in her village and many of her friends and relatives are ready and interested to receive Jesus and plant a church near her village (about 5 hours away). Michael's dad is the pastor of our church and he, Michael and other elders will help plant these two churches. Be in prayer for these new believers and growth of our church!

hobbies! They won the first match but sadly the tournament

    Rudra, our new brother in Christ! It was my first time to Africa.   I was excited to see what God had for us. Before our journey began, we met a Nepali man --> at the airport who was going to Qatar for work.  He looked very normal and gentle-spirited. We began to talk. He was very surprised and happy to find out that my wife was a foreigner. Our conversation went deep and we opened our hearts and thoughts about faith. I shared God’s love and after nearly 45 minutes I asked him, if he’d like to invite Jesus into his life. And he said YES! The story doesn't stop here.   God was taking us on a journey to release His presence and share His goodness in different places from the… Border of Uganda and Congo… Worship before evangelism Praying with this Muslim lady to accept Jesus. Passionate evangelist who interpreted for us as we did door-to-door evangelism. Blessed by this pastor! Surrounded by banana trees and smiling children we gath...
