Dear Friends,
Please read the most recent information from the work of
Pastor Athem and churches in India in Nepal. ORH hopes this is a blessing
as you read of the good work.
“Dear Uncle Jan & ORH, 13/07/2015 Jai Mashi
from India and Nepal.
This is a short report/update
about the works done in Nepal for the recent earthquake victims. This updates
are mainly the latest works which we called it PLAN =C & D. A lot have been
done yet there are still lots to be done.
We just came back from Kathmandu
on 11th July. Due to rain we could not go to the villages where we sent the
materials for 75 houses. So far we were able to provide relief aids to 450
household and the following items have been distributed: such as, rice, cooking
utensils, roofing iron sheets, blankets, medical aids, etc.
The three main areas of our
works, where we are building three churches are: Nepane Sanusirubari village of
Dolakha District, Keilashwore village in Dholakha District and a village in
Dhanding. At the time of earthquake, there were presence of 5/6 Christian
houses in each of these villages but after we brought the aids, the villagers
(Hindus) are now started coming to church and we now have some problems which I
called it good problems. The good problems are, there was not enough
rooms/place for the people to sit and listen to the preaching of the Gospel by
the local Christians. The Hindu people gave lands to local Christians to
construct a house for worship. Therefore, we decided to construct a church
building with iron bars and steel roofing in the areas where the Hindu leaders
had donated for construction of church. The church building constructions are
going on in three areas mentioned above. The building/houses are 25 feet wide
and 30 feet length. We could not finish the construction last weekend and we
have given the local leaders the responsibilities of overseeing the
constructions and to complete in next two weeks which will be in first week of
August 2015. If possible please send someone to dedicate these houses to be
used for worship.
Thank you very much for your
supports in prayers and finance. Uncle Jim is coordinating with the ministry
called Bearing Precious Seed to send Gospel tracts and Gospel of John &
Romans in next six weeks. We will be sending them to Nepal particularly too
those earthquake victims and villages. So far about 20 people have come to the
Lord in Nepane village. We hope and pray that the Lord will allow us to see
hundreds and thousands of souls to be saved in those villages. In
His Service, Pastor Athem K. Chothe Siliguri, India”
Pray for these good works. We are thankful for the
fruit and the response of the people. Pastor Athem has been faithful to
help the villages, and God is working through these great efforts.
Pray about the rains. They are serious when trying to
build and get people out of the weather conditions.
We have more work on-going and will attempt to inform you
soon of two church’s VBS programs working to help with the Nepalese children in
the earthquake.
Please pray for our Peru Medical Team leaving on Saturday,
July 18, to work with Buddy and Loren Fitzgerald in the Puerto Maldonado area
of Peru.
God bless,
Jan Milton
