Dear Friends,
Pastor Athem and Dr. John Paul have been busy. They are navigating the terrible waters of
government requirements and the ministry to the people. Please read below of their efforts.
“Dear Uncle Jan and
Jim, Much is happening here..We have
been good... We have been on our toes ever since we have arrived here in Nepal,
Kathmandu..We are in contact with the UN and will be attending a meeting
tomorrow as well to gather some information with regards to their requirements
more specifically and to gather some Info on the logistics as well.. I have
been able to treat many and the number keeps adding on every day.. Me and
Pastor Athem, received a call from one of the missionaries here, that a man in
a remote village had been badly hurt.. We went with limited supplies and to our
surprise there were so many that were affected and no medical aid had reached
and we were the first to arrive at that place.. To my thinking I feel there
would be no one reaching that place for at least several days or possibly not..
It was so remote. We told them that Love of our Lord and Savior Jesus made us
come...!
I am sending few
pictures of what we were able to do today. We treated many with first aid and
splints for the bone injuries.. Two of the men had their ankle joints severely
damaged due to blunt trauma.. We were able to get one man to the local hospital
for further treatment as we only had room for one person in our vehicle.. There
were others who were following some form of a ritual to pray to their Gods for
their relatives who died in the disaster and didn't want to receive any medical help or me
touching them, had to convince so much to get a shoulder sling for one of their
men's shoulder joint injury.. I hope him and the other man and also several
others who have received first aid would also be able to get to the hospital as
early as they could to get specialist's treatment.. I will keep you updated as
an when I would be able to access the internet.. I wish we could do more, but
when God is in it little is much.. I am glad I could be a part of this
humanitarian relief.. Just to mention that on our way back me and pastor Athem,
we had a narrow escape from being Buried under a landslide due to an
aftershock, it was only Gods grace that we were safe as the rocks fell right
after we crossed that point.. Now we have been able to find some shelter at a
missionary's house, from where am typing this email..God has been
gracious...! Continue to pray for
us..Love in Christ, JP”
Please pray for all those national believers who are in need
and at the same time wish to use these moments of open door to work with their
people in Nepal. They face difficulty which
you and I will eventually know here in our nation.
Please pray for Jimmy McGaha, business director in Nepal,
who supplied names of those who are in need in Nepal. It was one of his recommended people that Dr.
John Paul writes about in his update. Brother
McGaha called to thank ORH for helping, and in his voice clearly the loving
sorrow and emotion of love for the people of Nepal was prominent. Jimmy is back in the US and helping ORH.
Brother McGaha writes the following about Dr. John Paul’s
email.
“Dear Brother
Jan, I was just on the phone with Levi
Acharya in Nepal. He told me that he,
Jason Woon, and Pastor Bijay Pradhan are en route to a hospital with one of our
Bible College student's father who has broken both of his legs. It took them over four hours by vehicle to
reach the village where this man lives.
We are so thankful to the Lord that ORH representatives Dr. John Paul
and Pastor Athem are able to travel with them and give this man medication and
medical attention during transport to the hospital. I am not sure how far they will have to
travel to reach a hospital. Please keep
them in your prayers….Again, I am thanking the Lord for you and for the work
Operation Renewed Hope is doing in Nepal. Jimmy McGaha”
Pray that all these servants that they will be successful as
they work for Christ. Pray for their
safety as they help believers and non-believers.
Please download the attachment for pictures. Please put this up some place too remember to
pray.
God bless,
Operation Renewed Hope
