New from Nepal

 Grishma updates us on Nayagaun Church, Pokhara

We hope and trust that you have been doing well!

I just would like to update a few points from Nayagaun, Pokhara -


After 10 months of closed down (so far we had online Church services) now from 30th January we are going to open the Church and will be having fellowship physically, we will have two services (sessions).


The construction of the Aged Care Centre building is ongoing on and now interior final works are being done, we hope that after a few months (2 or 3 months) we will be able to do the opening ceremony! Please continue to pray for this wonderful work.


Recently we went to a remote village named Tare, in Parbat district and dedicated a newly built Church building, that is one of our sister Churches. (picture is enclosed)


Some of our Church members were caught COVID-19 positive, some of them already passed through and now negative! Some are still in the isolation, sadly one died. As a Church we continue to provide service and support to the affected people in the community and at hospital too. Let us continue to pray for the situation (I think we have similar situation in many parts of the world).


LEAD-Nepal has done wonderful support/relief work during this COVID-19 pandemic (during lockdown and afterwards) for the Church

leaders in different parts of Nepal (specially in the western part), as most of them have not getting any salary/regular support from their churches for living, due to COVID many lost their job and that impacted the tithe and offerings in the Church! So in this situation, LEAD- Nepal was able to support them some way with your great generosity, thank you so much for your generosity and ongoing support in this difficult time!!


Kindly convey our love, greetings and sincere thanks to all those friends and families who have been praying and supporting our ministries.


Please find some pictures with the attachment.


Yours in Christ,

Grishma

Midday tomorrow!

Over recent weeks, in both our morning congregations, we've been trying connect with one another's lives beyond 'Sunday' by hearing from someone about what they will be doing the following day. Obviously this has normally meant Monday morning - but this week we are shifting the question to the end of the week and asking...  'What will you be doing at midday tomorrow (Friday 27th)?' In current circumstances it might be tempting to think everyone's at home, yet the reality is that we're much more diverse than that - not only do we have a number of 'essential workers' in the church family, who are 'out' at work but whose jobs look very different to normal, but those of us working or doing school at home will be establishing different patterns and focusing on very varied things, and of course retirees will be finding their own rhythms to the day.  So whether it is gardening, a maths class (doing it or trying to teach one), accou...

Catching up with new graduate, Tom Morgan.

What has the early part of 2020 held for you? I finished my Fine Art degree at home during lockdown, and although it was really disappointing not to be able to exhibit in the normal physical Final Year Degree Show, you can see some of my work here.   What are you planning to do next and why? Next year I will be based in London volunteering with a University and Colleges Christian Fellowship (UCCF):  UCCF: The Christian Unions is a fellowship of students, staff and supporters that aims to give every university student in the UK an opportunity to hear and respond to the great news of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Going to university is a formative time for many. Someone has the chance to question the beliefs, ideas, and ways of living they were brought up with. It can be a key time to explore faith and make big life decisions independently. I definitely found this to be the case – I left for university as a Christian, and by God’s grace I am still walking with the...

Reaching your neighbours - the Mezei's front window!

It feels like yesterday we were doing Christmas in our house. Last year we so enjoyed getting ready for it, celebrating Advent, probably the proper way for the first time. Lockdown has its uses J ! As Lent came round we asked ourselves why we give more importance to Advent and not to Lent. Surely both are as important! Both are amazing news for humanity. So we decided to do Advent the ‘right’ way this year. Of course, with a one and four year old, it might look a lot different to how others celebrate it, but we found ways to involve everyone in our family and to make it meaningful. In December, like others in the church, we made use of our front window to make a giant nativity scene. Let’s just say that if anyone had any doubts we were Christians, they now knew better! The kids so enjoyed making it and adding to it as Advent progressed (although Clara was not too sure she liked her baby doll in the window!). But most of all we loved seeing people stop to look at the scene and read ...
