INDIA AND NEPAL DTS OUTREACH UPDATE

Blog week 5 11/17- Monday Today was sadly the last ministry day of India by this time the group has grown to love parts of India and it's very different culture. In the morning we started with a debrief with mega cities and were able to share our high points and what we were blessed to be a part of what God is doing in India. After that we again split into groups and went to do a time of open air in front of college. One girl asked Jesus into her heart. It was so awesome to know that our last day was just the beginning for someone else! That night we again went to a crowd favorite at the local train station for a time of street kids ministry. We played games and had a craft so they could make a ball and then just spent time loving on them. The last day of ministry ended on a very high point with a person accepting Christ and be able to love on those children, we are beyond blessed and thankful for all God did and spoke to us and through us during this life changing month. 11/18-Tuesday- Free day... Well not so much most of the day spent cleaning the church we stayed at and packing for some of us this was a extreme task while others not so crazy of a day. The family who so graciously housed us this month had a going away meal for us and some very good home cooked Indian cuisine. We were also telling the recently made friends goodbye and giving Bible's to those people who had made an impact on us, so that God through His word would leave a lasting impact in them also. 11/19- Wednesday- Goodbye India... Hello Nepal... Well sort of after a airline ticket mess up 3 students were not able to make it onto the flight for Nepal but were stuck over night in Delhi. For all those wondering who you have probably seen on social media sites and heard from them so we shall skip all those details. 11/20- Thursday- The students unite and finally make it to Nepal. The only problem was that the craziness continued with hours of airline delays we finally landed in Nepal! The entire group was now at the base we were staying for the first week. God is always good and provided to get here and trusting for his provision while here! 11/21- Friday- News hits the team that we have to split into two different groups due to space issues at a ministry location. One team a kings kids club ministry and another group doing more of an evangelism ministry with translators. So today was the split we said our goodbyes to half our team an hello to the upcoming ministry. God has a plan and we are excited to get to be a part of what He wants to do! 11/22- Saturday- Here in Nepal they have church on Saturdays which was a fresh surprise. So the half of us that stayed for evangelism did dramas in the church and also were asked to lead a couple worship songs. The church worship that the Nepali church led was very encouraging. So far everything here has been much more western culture styled than India and their worship did not differ. They were contemporary songs just in a foreign language. After that we were then able to go with the lead pastor and pray for church's new building being built. It was a very special time since we were the first foreigners to be at the site and technically in the church even though it was early on in the construction of it. We then went to two other houses to pray over people. One a local house church that was also a orphanage an the other was our translators house and prayed over his father. Such a great day of being recharged by believers and being able to be used to help recharge other believers, God is good all the time!!! 11/23- Sunday- Because of the difference on church days today again was a free day to rest up and pray up, to be prepared for the upcoming week. Can't wait for the next week to see what God is going to do! This week had a lot of down time but also very busy at times in order to get everything squared away as to what we were going to do an where we were going to live. A great opening week to take in Nepal and it's beauty and also it's colder weather! That was a major change from India. Stay tuned and ready for all the adventures to come from this next week!
