Dark places


“Even when your path takes me through the valley of deepest darkness, fear will never conquer me, for you already have! Your authority is my strength and my peace. The comfort of your love takes away my fear. I’ll never be lonely, for you are near.”Psalms‬ ‭23‬:‭4‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Over the past few days two things have happened: the Nepali Government had declared it was turning off social media platforms not registered with the government, and secondly that all foreign nationals were to be registered from 17 September. On the surface this looks dangerous. Today people are protesting the first in a massive protest March in Kathmandu. The second they will not care about as it affects us foreigners. Five star motels will be the first to be obligated to take digital records of foreigners, in November it will be expanded to all forms of accomodation and transport. In other words our movements will be tracked.

The second I am praying into and preparing for. All I do in Nepal will be seen should I use public accomodation or transport. We will be obliged to enter our details into an App provided by the government.

I wonder who helped create this system? It is huge for a country like Nepal. Who will it exclude? 

How. Am I to remain and be a light in Nepal? The comfort of your love Lord, takes away my fear. Amen!
