John Reynolds (INF) planning to visit Surkhet

By the grace of God we are fine here. Thank you so much for writing to us mentioning John's visit in Himalayan Bible Training Center in Surkhet. I am sorry for not being able to write on time. Load-shedding has caused problems in our midst.
It would be our privilege and pleasure to have people like John in our training center. We are eager to see him as soon as possible. We are praying for his safe journey. Regarding timings, as you mentioned, we would like to see him at our training center on 26th April 2009 Sunday at 5 pm. On that day we will see all our students or there will be a brief introduction program and after that we will have our dinner together. We would like to have Alan and Megan also with us if they are free. If this time is OK for them kindly let me know.
Lastly we are looking forward earnestly to see them all soon. May our great God bless us all.Thank you so much.
Yours truly

news from Dil

Greetings from Nepal.

Thank you for your patience in hearing from us. James Tamang, Samuel and I had been away in Salyan district, upper midwest Nepal to hold a leadership seminar and had a productive time together. We met elder Tanka Bahadur BK of Salyan, the first batch participant and I am glad to report that he is doing fine, bearing much fruit in the field.

We do not have adequate words to thank you enough for your faithful parternership in the Gospel. We understand that fund raising has been a difficult task in this global economic crisis. And sadly, we are not unaffected by the global economic crisis by the way. Nevertheless, we proceed forward TRUSTING THE LORD and will apprciate your continuing assisitance for this divine purpose.

Owing you a lot, Dil, Nepal.
