A Nepalese ministry leader was guest-speaking at a church in Nepal’s capital when the room began to rock.
“All
of a sudden it hit us, and I was on something like a roller coaster,”
Gopal jee said. “The two pastors were just swaying from one side to the
other, and we prayed that everything would be OK at the end of the day.”
The
7.8 earthquake on Saturday (April 25) ended the worship service for
about 70 people. They all survived, but at least 4,000 others lost their
lives, and more than 7,000 people are injured. The ministry leader and
thousands of others are living in tents out of fear of more aftershocks,
even as he and his team dispatch teams to help those who have lost
everything.
Fallen
boulders the size of cars have made some roads impassable, but because
the indigenous ministry teams are familiar with the landscape, they know
how to walk to affected villages to provide aid. The needs are
overwhelming, however, and they need additional funds for food, water,
tents and medicines.
The
indigenous missionaries are working through extensive church contacts
to provide aid in the name of Christ. They have the access to provide
local aid but lack funds to purchase them; your gift can make the
difference.
