salvations and momo's

Currently sitting in the cutest cafe. Its called "Lakuri," and they sell the best Lime Cheesecake and Cappuccino and they have wifi! Unheard of in Nepal. haha. 

This week and next we are with King's Kids doing street kid ministry. We go out into the streets, gather some street kids together and give them some food & tea while we share the gospel with them. In two days of street kid ministry, we saw 22 children give their lives to God and receive the Holy Spirit! So cool. Almost unbelievable really. 


One really cool story, the first day I went, there was a boy whose knee was dislocated and I believe set wrong. I was telling him about how God heals, and we prayed for him. He didn't get healed right away. After all of the boys heard the gospel and decided to give their lives to God, Chris encouraged them (17 in all) to pray for him also. So this one boy and all 17 of his 'brothers' are praying for his knee to be healed. The boy was almost in tears. And then he gave his crutch to his friend and started to walk on it! It wasn't fully healed, so he tried to get his crutch back, but his friends wouldn't let him. As far as I know, he is still not entirely healed, but we encouraged him and his friends to keep praying. 
But it was such a beautiful thing to see his friends rally around him like that! 


Yesterday we went to a prayer meeting and on the way home we stopped for Momo's (dumplings) and one of our guys shared the Gospel with the owners (2 adults, 2 kids) and all four of them gave their lives to God! We have the Nepalese Bible on micro-SIM-cards, and so we gave them the Bible on their phone in their own language!

Then on the bus ride home, one of our girls shared the Gospel with a Hindi girl and she also gave her life to God, received the Holy Spirit and got a copy of the Bible on her phone! On the same bus ride, I evangelized to another Hindi girl. We had to get off the bus before I could ask her if she wanted to give her life to God, but she sat down beside the girl that Stephanie had just brought to God, so I'm really hoping that she also gave her life to God. 

How cool is that?!

So in total, in just 3 days, we've seen 27 people give their lives to God, 2 of them have the Bible in their own language and we saw a partial healing! So cool!

Please continue to have us in your prayers as we are here!

Next up: a 3-day DTS camp for orphaned children in Kathmandu and the surrounding regions.

to the nations we will go...

I am currently sitting on a plane two hours away from Kathmandu, Nepal. It's been almost 2 years now that I've been wanting to go to Nepal and I am finally on my way! And now I get to go with an incredible team of five other people. I love how God gives us the desires of our heart.

I am so excited. I will be living in sight of the Himalayas soon, working with street kids and prostitutes. Making water filters to provide clean water in rural villages. Trekking to reach the unreached. How amazing is my life!

We are so excited to bring the light to Nepal, "a city on a hill cannot be hidden..."

Thank you so much for your support. We will have very limited Internet access over the next 3 months, but I will try to keep you updated!

Much love,
Becca
