Jai Maasai from Kathmandu

Greetings in His Unfathomable name.

It was another thrilling email to me this morning and thank you for your continuing friendship and partnership in the Gospel of Christ. I heartily accept your suggestions in regard to the semi-literate students at HBTC Surkhet. I attended the board meeting there in August and this issue was raised and prayed and planned together to resolve this problem. I have forwarded your email to James Tamang, our principal and will talk more with him and the board when I go there at the end of this month and will let you know the progress. I will also request him to get some reports of the alumni which will help our sponsors know the effect of the training.
Honourable Dr. Rod,
Loving greetings from Dil.

To beginwith, let me express my heartfelt thanks for your friendship and partnership with us all these years. It has been some weeks, since I heard from you and know how busy you are. Be assured of our prayers for you and our friends and partners there.

I am emailing you to inform you that we are sending the Audit report of the last fiscal year which includes all the Income and Expenditure of HBSA ( Lalitpur HBTC, Surkhet HBTC and Mobile training programmes). This will take about 12-14 days to get there.

Rod, is there any way that I could assist you to improve our fund raising ?
If you agree with me, I may buy some small souvenirs for our honourable partners in the UK which could be handed over through you sir.

Yours in His Harvest
Dil, Kathmandu.

travels to far places

I will appreciate your prayers for me, as I will be going to Dang and Surkhet tomorrow early morning and will be back only on the Wednesday, the 10th Sept. I am not feeling well at this moment, after a difficult journey to and from Manang, the district beyond the Himalayas. But I need to go there, as I need to be present at least at a seminar and attend the board meeting of our branch training center in Surkhet.

I am going with the confidence,
" the Lord is my refuge and ever present help in need." Psalm. 46:1 Thanking you, Dil

fourth batch chosen

Loving greetings from Nepal.

It has been some weeks, since I heard from you and believe you are fine regardless of busy schedule. I am glad to inform you that we have started the 4th batch of the training in Surkhet. I also believe that you have received the group picture too sent by the principal. I am amazed to see the interest and need of the training in those two regions. It was difficult to select the students and we were compelled to enrol at least 21 out of many.
This is the largest batch we ever have.

We are glad that the Lord has provided like-minded friends like you in this building and equipping of the leaders in Nepal for a transformed nation in the future. We are optimistic in this endeavour, regardless of all turmoil and chaos in the land. If we think about the future, we cannot do anything and proceed further (Eccl 11:4)

I am glad that the Social Welfare Council of Nepal has approved our application of various programs.

Kailali floods Sept 2008

Disaster in Kailali District.

Dear friends,

It was 19 September 2008 evening .The rain started as usual manner like rainy season at 7 PM. Slowly it became heavier at 9 PM . I was suppose to travel early in the morning to Nepalganj. I went to bed around 9 PM. When I woke up at 4.30 a.m. There was very heavy rain with strong wind. I left my room at 5. am. The road in town was full of water. It usually is common in rainy season. After coming out ten kilometers from town there was a huge tree fallen down on the road. We used side ways. After struggling with the flood water we succeeded and came back to high way again. But again there was another huge tree on the road. People were busy in cutting the branches .After half an hour waiting we crossed the road.

When we came to real highway we saw the rivers were overflowing . Those rivers look like ocean. Going further ahead the scenes were pathetic. Along the side of the highway houses were sinking in water, People and cattle were running and crying. In some places water was running over the highway. When we reached about 50 KMs we saw many people standing on the road with cattle and their belongings. They stopped us and told don,t go further it can be danger. Within a few second we saw the river water taken big section of the highway.

We returned back from that spot. After arriving back in Dhangadhi I heard the news that thousands of houses destroyed within few hours. Some casualties observed. Army and police forces started rescuing people in different part of kailali districts. Though government and other organizations trying to help them but the damage is so big, it will take long time to recover all the loss.
There are many things we can do to help them.. It depends on the need , as well as fund availability.
In the past I also involved in such kind of relief work in coordination with churches, NGOs and Government health institutions.

I will be very grateful if you can consider urgent need to help those people. Please pray for this situation and if you wish please help by sending your contribution.

Recent statistics update September 23, 2008
Displaced family 12779
Partially effected 1579
No of deaths 50
Missing 26
We can help them by doing following things.
1. Health camp
2. Blankets distribution
3. Food items
4. Warm cloths for children



With kind regards
