NEPAL: The tide is turning

CHANGE - the word for Nepal. The first mission trip where God came through for the team for their flight tickets at the eleventh hour; The first mission trip where the team started off with rest before the conference starts; The first ever youth conference held and attended by so many churches; The first trip to a new country which started off with a huge bang; The first mission trip of the year 2007.

Over 600 representatives from 40 different churches traveled from all over Nepal to Kathmandu for their first ever History Maker conference. Many of them had to travel 2 - 3 days by bus just to reach in time for the conference. With such hunger and desire, is it any wonder that the move of God was so powerful in that place? Young and old started to dance in the presence of the Lord, many were slain in the Spirit - all these previously unheard of in this country.

Though it was a short trip with only 2 days for the actual conference, it was no barrier for what God had in store for them. As we traveled through the streets of Nepal, we saw many young people ready and ripe for the gospel.

These 2 short days saw many salvations, in addition to the work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of others. The vision was given to the young people and the fire ignited. Conservative Christians now worship and praise freely and the burden of reaching their city for God ran strong in their hearts. Some of them were challenged further to stretch their faith and believe God will send them to Mumbai, India as part of the History Maker team. Why not? It’s not just spiritual change taking place in Nepal now. Even in the physical realm, changes are happening. Snow rained in Kathmandu for the first time in more than 60 years! The last Hindu monarchy in the world has fallen. It is awesome how God orchestrates everything.

True to herself, history makers do not operate solely during the conference. Even the van driver’s assistant wasn’t spared the gospel and at the end of ferrying us for 2 days, he received salvation and accepted Christ as his Lord and Saviour. A history making moment indeed!

From the pastor’s desk:

We entered Nepal at a “kairos” moment of God. The entire nation is in transition and we are so glad to be there at this opportune time in history. As the nation’s leaders were positioning new leadership to lead the nation God almighty was positioning his army to reach the nation.

We are so glad to partner with Pastor Raju Sundas, National Chairman of History Maker Nepal. He created an awesome platform for us to see God impact Nepal. We are so appreciative of all his staff and co-workers who work so hard behind the scene to ensure that this conference was a success. We applaud you History Makers of Nepal.

The hunger in Nepal was so contagious that every members HM -Singapore were so deeply impacted. The younger generation has been impacted by the Holy Spirit’s fire and they have caught the burden to spread the gospel across a once Hindu Kingdom.

Watch out Nepal, the History Makers of Nepal are about to change the future of your nation forever! Glory to God.

Praise God for all that He has done and accomplished during this trip!
