Visit to another district
My team had a wonderful and impactful day during their recent visit. The team was blessed with the opportunity to share the Gospel with many individuals throughout the area. A particularly meaningful moment came when they shared the Good News with the uncle of a Bible College intern and his family.
In addition to visiting his uncle’s home, my team also reached out to several nearby households. Many of the residents had never heard about Jesus before. Despite this, every home warmly welcomed us, creating an open and joyful environment for Gospel sharing.
One special encounter stood out during the visit. The team met a woman whose mother had been a Christian. Although she had attended church in the past, she no longer does. My team was able to speak with her again about Jesus and gave her an Audio Bible, which she received with great joy. We request continued prayer for her — that God would stir her heart and draw her closer to Him.
It was a great blessing for us to pray with people and distribute both Audio Bibles and New Testaments. We ask for continued prayer that:
- God would speak to each person through His Word,
- That these Gospel tools will help many come to a deeper understanding of Jesus.
Involvement with Harvesters
This past weekend was a time of rich fellowship and fruitful ministry for the team and I as we joined fellow Calvary Chapel pastors in South East Nepal. My wife and I, along with Pastor Milan, Pastor Rabi, and a Bible college intern, traveled together and stayed in the church where I previously served.
The team visited Pastor Joshep’s church to participate in a program. It was a joyful occasion marked by vibrant fellowship among the believers. I shared an encouraging message from Romans 6:1–14, exhorting the new believers to walk closely with Christ.
While this was happening, Pastor Rabi visited Pastor Majiya’s church, where two more individuals were prepared to publicly declare their faith. Witnessing these lives being dedicated to the Lord was a significant blessing for the entire team.
The visit also included intentional time with Bible college students. The team shared meals, visited students’ homes, prayed with them, and provided encouragement for their ministry journeys. These moments were filled with love, care, and meaningful conversations about the future of their calling.
A personal highlight was my opportunity to visit my family, which was a special blessing. The team was warmly received at my in-laws’ home, where they enjoyed a wonderful dinner and heartfelt fellowship.
This time of breaking bread and sharing life with fellow believers was deeply meaningful. All glory to God for His faithfulness and the fruit borne through this trip.
Prayer Request:
Pray for the seven new believers to grow strong in their faith and walk closely with the Lord.
“I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.”
Philippians 1:3-6.
We Are Not Alone
God recently opened the door for my team and I to travel to another area where we visited several church planters ministering in the region. The team was filled with joy and anticipation to reconnect with their fellow workers in the Kingdom.
During the visit, the team joined a local church service, offering encouragement and fellowship to the congregation. It was a powerful time of worship, ministry, and mutual strengthening.
We also spent time sharing ministry experiences with the local pastors. The gathering was marked by laughter, stories of God’s faithfulness, and heartfelt conversations. It was a time of mutual encouragement—a reminder to stay strong in the faith, continue serving Christ, and lift each other up in prayer.
One of the most moving moments came when two families serving the Lord looked at each other and said, “You are not alone.” Ministry often brings seasons of loneliness, fatigue, and discouragement. But when one pastor visits another, it becomes a time of refreshment—a sacred reminder that we are united in Christ and not forgotten.
We give all glory to God for this opportunity to encourage and be encouraged. We ask for continued prayer so we can keep visiting and supporting pastors—both in rural villages and urban areas—who need connection, prayer, and fellowship.
“Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”
— Isaiah 41:10
