In Nepal - the land of the Himalayan Mountains

I left the US on Thursday for Nepal. I arrived in Kathmandu on Saturday afternoon and found out at the airport that there was to be a strike the following day. So when my friend and co-worker Asokan PK from India arrive 2.5 hours later we decided to make the 6 hour drive to Pokhara that evening. We met with a pastor that got us a taxi after we had chai at his home. We left Kathmandu just before 8 pm and did not arrive in Pokhara until 4am. It was an adventurous trip. The driver did a phenomenal job keeping us on the road and getting us to Pokhara safely.

In Pokhara we meet with key pastors on Sunday morning to share our plans and vision. They were thrilled and wanted to hear when we planned to come. When we shared our dates with them, they said that they had already committed to another event that same week and that they were very busy during the time from now until April and would not be able to do a good job. I like that kind of integrity - both keeping your word and being excellent in what you do...

So we siad that we would check our calendars and see when we could come back to Pokhara. Back at our guest hoiuse hotel we made plans to go south the following day to Butwal. So this morning we got on a bus and made our way south on yet another adventurous trip. A pastor meet us as we got of the bus and took us to a guest house. We will meet him in the morning and again share our vision... God is on the move...

I have heard about some exciting opeinings in the countries in this part of the world. Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Myanmar are on the verge to opening up. Help me pray for these nations as we scout out Nepal for another hit and run expedition this April!
