Immediate Need In Nepal!!


Merry Christmas!!

We want to share an immediate need that is in Nepal right now. Pastor Bhim Thapa and Pastor KB Basel are two of the main Pastor's we work with in Nepal. They are in a continuous effort to reach all of Nepal with the Gospel as fast as possible. There is much uncertainty in Nepal as far as future freedom for the Church. That is why right now the door is open and many new works are being birthed on a weekly basis. Jesus said that we must work while it is light for the darkness will come. These two powerful ministries have shared a need that we pray will be met before we arrive in Nepal on January 23rd.

Below is the is a portion of the email Pastor KB sent to us showing the churches that are under construction in the mid-western region of Nepal. The Dailekh church, as he mentioned is very important, as it is a center for reaching out into many unreached villages. The Rajapur Island work continues to grow and this will greatly benefit the expansion of the ministry on this island on the Karnali River. The Kapilvastu and Dang churches are part of the fastest growing areas of Gospel Assembly. There is also a mission house being constructed in the Dang district to help with long term ministry work. This will allow for longer visits to that area as hotels and home accommodations are very limited. The photos show the recently completed Lamahi Church building.

Pastor Bhim Thapa has been reaching out to the Ilam district in eastern Nepal and has planted a church in the Sindhupalchok district of Northern Nepal near the China border. There is a church under construction in both places and the cost to cover both of these buildings is 8,000 dollars. They are already working on both as the photo shows Pastor Bhim with a tree that was cut for the building and also rocks being gathered.

The total cost of these current projects is app. 46,000 dollars of which 31,000 has been designated and sent for these works this week!! PTL! This leaves a need of 15,000 dollars.

Rhonda and I and Pastor's Ron and Kay Rose leave for Nepal on January 23rd. Pastor KB emailed yesterday and said there are 1000 Nepalis waiting to take baptism. We are so excited to see the explosion of Christianity in Nepal! Thank you for all who have supported the work in Nepal over these 11years. We know the greatest harvest is yet to come! We want to prepare the storehouse for the harvest, would you prayerfully consider helping complete these church buildings for these wonderful people!

Merry Christmas and we so appreciate all of you!
David and Rhonda Knox
