Nepal is a small nation in South Asia which borders Tibet on the north and India on the other three sides. It's southern portion is a humid climate similar to the adjacent India, but northward it becomes extremely mountainous and dry, entering into the south side of the Himalayan range. It has eight of the world's ten highest mountains, including Mount Everest.

(Beautiful photo of Nepal's Ice Lake) Nepal was the only nation in the world which was an official Hindu state until May 18, 2006 when it was declared a secular state. Then on December 28, 2007, the interim government declared it a Federal Democratic Republic. The sitting king, Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev, Will be the last king when elections are held in April 2008. This recently altered government has offered much more freedom of religion in that nation.

I have corresponded with a young servant of Christ there for the past few years and have learned to love and appreciate him very much. He is striving to serve God the very best that he can with the limited resources that he has. As might be expected, the nation has a vast number of poor and many uneducated. I list below a letter I received from him today which I am passing on with his encouragement. The letter has been slightly edited to make it easier to read, but no thoughts have been altered:



Dear all in Christ;

We have very good news this time. I am so proud of our Nepali brethren who were coming from various places representative as church leader and members to know more about God and how to work together for the glory of God to win lost souls ministry of GOD.
I am so surprise this time. The time is very cool and many of the members have joined remote areas most of them are Himalayan and other part of the Nepal. They are looking dirty, strong smelling their clothes and not having take bath and take care about their health. the hall is moving strong smelling but there is very sweet aroma of Christ and the spirit is so precious for them. I do not care about other things but faith and doing the good work of God it is so good for us.
 
Another amazing things one of the tribes are living in jungle and uneducated and more than 50 members have been fellowshipping and worshipping in open ground in such cold time. They do not have church gathering place. What a peculiar things to hear from them. Most of them requesting to us go and teach them and make strong in Christ and more of them would like to share the word of God . Some of them I have given clothes, Bible CD mentioned the Light of the world. And other Book of Life CD that teaches our life and judgment.
Our some of the members have donated many things share to them looking at their situation. We are so surprise to see them how God is working with them. Some of them pesters are coming from denomination who are so weak in doctrinal things. so we need it for regular prayer for vast change their life and stand fast in the Lord. Some financial aid for them to build the worship assembly. it is so cheap for them. They have sand on river, stone and other things but they need zinc, wood and other related materials to make place for their assembly place.

We have another things for worship place which is changed the place in new place due to the lack of space. Some of us members have raise fund for to pay the cost for rent as monthly some of us is not enough. Most of the members are poor, widows, and jobless and retire for their work. So we have not enough 80$US at this moments to pay for the monthly room rent.

 If you pass this on, our request to each members and church leaders may they raise fund for once time to manage to urgent thing to God be the glory. I will send picture later on if our mobile view work. Otherwise trust this letter in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Rest I will inform you and our work is also growing up. Members are coming to hear the word and new prospects are contacting to us to teach to them and feed the good food of God.

 Let us know your prayer request and feed back thru your local church and lovely brethren advice and counseling to God be the glory in the field of God in NEPAL.

Yours in His love and service

I receive email similar to this frequently from many countries. Kenya, Zambia, Tanzania, India, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, South Africa, The Philippines, Ghana and more. I have, in times past corresponded with some from Romania and some from Russia. Most of those who inquire are hungry for the word of God: "Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. (Luke10:2 KJV)
We, who live so sumptuously every day, should cringe in fear and ask for forgiveness for our negligence of others. May God's tender mercies be extended to us.

Thank you for writing Viplaw. I would be most happy to send you information and materials concerning Jesus Christ, however, you have not given me adequate contact information. Your name and city in Nepal will not be adequate I am sure. If you will, go to the top of this page and click on the yellow framed icon, next to last on the right of my name. You can send me contact information privately, your email address or the street address of the home you work in.
