“So we keep on praying for you, asking our God to enable you to live a life worthy of his call. May he give you the power to accomplish all the good things your faith prompts you to do.”
2 Thessalonians 1:11 NLT
Yesterday I was burdened for the earthquake victims and prayed for God to show me what to do in aid. All day I did not hear anything, then this morning as I was sitting waiting for church to start I received a message to say people we were ministering to had been affected and needed help. Straight away I wanted to go. After church I spoke with my friend who was ambivalent, saying last time there was a major earthquake thousands of tons of aid were left on the tarmac at the airport because there was not the infrastructure to distribute it. This time there are competing needs. He also said I would not be able to go as it was a two day trip and probably not hugenically suitable for me to go. So, I did the next best thing, I wrote posts to all I could asking for support as Timothy our young evangelist would go and organise the relief, as long as we could raise the funds. We also gave funds to our church here in Kathmandu for fuel for trucks to take relief donated here. We connected our church with Timothy so that he could also get supplies needed.
I am a hands on person and so it has been difficult to stay. I will continue to pray for guidance and for the Lord’s way. His way is always best. Amen!
