Live From Nepal

Let me start off by saying that Nepal is basically amazing and I love every second of it. God is moving in the craziest ways, I have seen God move more in these past couple of weeks than I have in my whole life. We have seen salvations, healings and people completely encountering the Lord. When we first got here we met Joel and Tammy who are basically our leaders, they run the Iris base out here. If you have never heard of Iris it is a ministry that deals with kids and gives them a home for life and makes them unadoptable. They really do family in that children's home and the kids are amazing, we get to hang out with them all the time. They are adorable and so sweet and almost all have accepted the Lord and chase after him with all they have. Something that the Joel and Tammy do not do is force Jesus on the kids when they come into the home, they really let the kids have the choice and just encourage them and love them with all that they have. Our team has been so blessed, we have our own apartment and Joel and Tammy have provided us with amazing opportunities to really see God move. We have gone to a buddist temple and did a prayer walk, worshiped and prayed for the beggars. Another thing we did was go to a leper colony and pray for the lepers there. God really touched and healed people there and just continued to encounter people with his love. Something more recent that we did was go on a 7 day trek. We went to a village called Puma, which the Lord spoke to a girl on our team about while we were still back in Kona, a village called Daduwah and Bangrebsi. When we got to Puma there was other foreigners there so they cooked us dinner and did a cultural performance for us. The next day we did ministry all day went from house to house and prayed for healing and deliverance for people. Then that night we showed the Jesus Film which is all about Jesus life and afterwards prayed for healing for people and watched healing after healing. Then the next day we woke up and went on a 13 hour trek spend about 3 hours trekking in the dark, it was an adventure and was so hard, the village of Daduwah was totally worth it though. There was 2 believers who live there already and after the Jesus film there were about 6 people who came to the Lord. The believers in the village tripled and we saw countless healings. After that we went on our last trek on my 18th birthday to the village of Bangrebsi. That village was a hard village to go to because it was very dark and had a ton of strongholds. We witnessed 2 salvations and about 2 healings! The strongholds on that village were so big and we brought the kingdom of heaven but the village never came into agreement with what we were trying to bring. God was definitely there because when we ask he comes but it was a hard and dark place. I thank God for the amazing opportunity to go and proclaim His name to the unreached villages. We met people who had literally never heard the name of Jesus. That was something that wrecked me...in the states we hear about the unreached but the unreached there are pretty much people who have heard of Jesus but don't want anything to do with him, these people here have literally never even heard his name. Some questions that I had were...how is it fair for people who have never heard his name to go to hell? Revelation on it: it is an injustice that happened in the fall and it is really our job as Christians to go out and give them the option to know Him and really show that he is good and that they have a decision it is not a one way thing. Question 2: why did we witness so many healings in the villages and not at home? Revelation: In the typical American church we do not even ask for healing when we find our someone is sick. If we do we go in with unbelief and do not come into agreement usually with what the Lord wants to do and are discouraged and angry when it does not happen. God has been revealing so much to me in this time and it has been truly amazing. I really love what God is doing in me and really making me lean on Him and nothing else. As for my team everyone is doing great, the only problem has been sickness, we have all been sick a couple times now but we don't let it keeps downin anyway. So excited for what is to come, we have so many things spoken over our team and I cannot wait to see them play out and how God wants to use them to bring Him glory.
