Well the time is coming so soon, and i will be on a plane heading off to Nepal. I don't know if I will ever feel ready, and fully prepared to go but what I know is that the Lord wants me to go and that excites me. I have been really praying that I can fully embrace how amazing this is, and just to be so thankful for this opportunity to go to Nepal and partner with the church and Bible Schools there and share with them the word of God. To share with them the method of studying the Bible that has changed my life. I cannot wait to go into villages and teach them Bible Overview and God's amazing plan of Redemption! This is truly a gift to be able to go to these places, and i cannot wait to embrace the culture and walk side by side with Jesus and with the church of Nepal.
This past week has been really amazing. Last week i had the opportunity to meet up with my DTS small group leader from back in 2007. It was amazing to see her and to hear all that was happening in her life and what the Lord had done through her. She has an amazing testimony that effected my life as well. Then on Friday I had another teaching-and it was a sermon. It went really well, and i enjoyed it a lot. I preached on 2 Cor 12:9. But he said to me my grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. This verse has been on my heart for quite some time and it felt right to preach on it-and the fact to embrace our weaknesses--because i am in that spot right now.
On Monday i taught again, and it was Bible Overview. There are many different steps of it and I got the Fall of Mankind, and God's plan of redemption. These are two key parts of the overview, and i feel like God is really giving me a heart for this, and for teaching and I continue pray that it will come out in my teaching every time that i teach. I know that the more passion i have the better, and the more people will learn, and that the Lord will work through me.
My last teaching will be on Friday and as a Nepal team we are teaching the book of Philemon and i have the historical background step, which is really interesting and it is really hands on and a lot of fun. Then Sunday morning at 3am i am leaving!!! I will arrive in Nepal Tuesday morning around 11am, so there is a lot of travel time, with a number of long flights to get there.
I am really excited, but nerves still do get the best of me, but at the same time i just have peace in knowing that I am suppose to go, and that the Lord is in control and is paving the way and all I have to do it be obedient in whatever he asks of me. I am going to try to keep this blog updates as much as i can but there will probably be limited internet access.
Prayer points:
-For unity amongst the team (there are 4 students and 1 leader)
-For clarity and wisdom and we teach
-Energy
-Safe travels and health as we travel
-A love for the Nepali people.
This is my heart "To thrive in Nepali culture by embracing it and walking side by side with Jesus and the Nepali church."
