Dear Precious Mom Judy

How are you doing? How is your ministry? How is your health? I have not heard from you for a long time. We have been praying you constantly. I believe every thing is fine with you.

I am so glad once again as I am with you with June July and August monthly report. This has been so long. You are so important to me and I really appreciate you for praying for us during the trip. Here I start my reports, beginning from sports ministry.

Inter Church Football: Inter Church football were held in Chyasal with 28 Church teams. Our church became the first. We are planning to gather good Christian players from all around Nepal and take them to National Football League so that everyone can hear about Church team and glorify God. Church Boys United Football Foundation Private Limited

works with Local Church to organize sports events in Nepal. We use sports to reach youth with gospel. We have seen many youth come to Christ through this act.
Pokhara Tour: Church Boys United went to Pokhara and participated local tournament. Pokhara is second largest city in Nepal. We distributed tracts and gave away bibles. Church Boys United is probably the first soccer team in Nepal that preaches the gospel through the medium of sports. We became the first in the tournament and received trophies and prizes. Praise God.
2nd Madhumalla Gospel Challenge Cup 2009: was held in Madhumalla from 6-15 August with 10 best teams in east Nepal. 17000 audiences were gathered. We distributed

7000 gospel tracts; more than 70 Nepali Bibles were given to politicians, social workers and local churches. They took my live interview in radios where I spoke them saying that 'purpose of organizing this tournament is to make known the name of Jesus Christ'. East Nepal senior Pastor N D Thulung also gave speech on the meaning of 'gospel'. The word 'Gospel' brought big curiosity among the people who were not familiar with. Prior to the game at the press meeting, many journalists asked me many

question regarding the 'a' church community participating in such a huge task, and off course about the meaning of the gospel. Gospel message has been heard by people in east Nepal, from the mountain zone and as far as from Sikkim in India. All glory to God. Next time we would like to gather as many as people up to 30000 and preach the gospel to them. This game brought very positive impacrt on people and political parties there.
Bible School: After the tournament we organize one week bible school in Urlabari where 14 students attended. They told us they were so glad to come in the training because they learned so many things there, in a very simple way and in effective way. They said they would teach their believers what they

learn in the training, which made us so happy. They requested us to continue another training again. Let's pray for them, they want to learn so many things about God so that they can do ministry and disciple other. I believe disciple making is the only a way to win Nepal for Jesus. If we make them disciple then they will also make disciple. I asked them how many of you would like to join in outreach phase, and most of them raised their hands. We will run another bible school in Manahari in central Nepal from 23 November. Please pray for this.
Outreach in Dasami: After the Bible School, we took 17 members gospel outreach team to Dasami which is in the mountain. It is 5 hours in Jeep and 4 hours walk. Ladies they cooked food. Morning we had class and afternoon we went to the outreach together. There were some children above 8 also in the class.. At first I hesitate to accept them as a students, but suddenly I thought that Muslim they

teach their children Koran to defend their religion, Bhuddhist they keep little children to make them monk, Hindu they send their small kids to read Sanskrit so that they can do Hindu rituals, then why can't we as a Christian teach our children about God? Yes we should teach our children about our faith and about our God. We should remember our heritage and our responsibility to rise up God fearing children. I taught them family life that would help them grow in faith.

We went down to one government school. There were many school children, teachers and villagers. We proclaim them Jesus through song, through tracts and through word. We would like to thank teachers of the school who allowed us to use their class time to speak about

Jesus. It is our duty to speak forth the word and its Holy Spirit work to convert the heart of the people. God can't work alone, He needs us.

In one house during the gospel song old lady brought a basket full of Nashpati (like pears) and our team was full. She thought that we are Dhausi Bhailo team. Dhausi Bhailo is played house to house during Hindu's greatest festival Tihar and eats food fruits and collects money. In this place children watched us sing surprisingly.

In another house, a family gave us boiled Potatoes and Lime after the singing. We prayed for that family and returned. I sense in my spirit that there will many who would call upon the

name of the Lord in these mountains in future. So please pray for the people living in Dasami and around. At evening every day up to 7:30 pm, (because they go to bed around 8) we use to gather in Dasami Bazar. One orders tea, another pickups guitar, another sings a chorus and another dance and eventually people gathers and one preaches the gospel. This was our stretegy. This routine became a habit for us. We did this till we return. Just imagine if we bring film project here then how many would gather? We are going to do this. There is nothing impossible with our God. Like in the days of Caleb, God has already given us the land, lets have faith, lets go and possess it. Lets don't just stay here. My people they don't ask salary, they just ask bus fare and food. If we do this they will do the

work. On our way back home through the jungles, we picked up atleast 3 blood sucking worms from each one of our feet. WOOHOOOO

After the outreach I went to meet my parents. I asked them what their need is? They said something they would light up the house. Now they use kerosene lamp. Just to charge a cell phone battery they need to come down three hours walking. I asked them what is the price of the solar power. They said 68000 Rupees. I was afraid. I pray the Lord would provide what they need.

I am going to close now but before I do that I would like to share my very very important prayer request. Please continue to pray for me and write me email even though you do not hear much from me, it is duo to I am in remote place with no computer. I am praying for

small latest portable high capacity laptop where I can carry even though I go to mountain. So that I can be in contact with you. Some time prayers are so important to share but no way to send. Yesterday, I bought Nepal telecom Sky phone post-paid cdma r-uim card which provides internet in laptop. If I have laptop, I can access emails anywhere in Nepal no matter how far I go in the mountain.

Prayers

Film Project: We are asking God to provide us fund to purchase Film Project equipment.

Bibles and Tracts: We would like to purchase Bibles for new believers and print tracts for outreaches.

Bible School: We will be running next Bible School in Manahari in November.

Clothes to the Children: We would like to bless poor (let's not say poor here after, they will get hurt) children this Christmas. Their age is below 10 years. I will send photographs after this email. Let's bless them this Christmas. Let's remember widows and orphans. Let's do true religion.

Rita and I love you; Rosanna and Reuel send their greeting.
