Kathmandu

Back on a bus again to Kathmandu. This trip didn't take near as long as the last one and was not as eventful either. LOL!

On our way back to the Appex Inn where we stayed the last time in Kathmandu, we dropped off half of our team at Kingdom Kids where they will be working with street kids. The other half of us will be working in orphanages. There were five of us that went to this orphanage with about 10 kids ranging in age from 9-12 yrs. old. We sang songs with the kids, did arts and crafts, played games, did jump rope. We had such an amazing time with them, time flew by so fast.

These orphanages were run by christians. When we were going to share bible stories with them, they begin to tell them to us. We thought we were the ones going in and teaching them but here they were teaching us. We were able to spend two more days with them, and one of those days we went to church with them. As I've said before I loved these services. Their music was amazing.

To keep us centered as a team we had many times of worship and prayer. I can't even begin to tell you how important those times were. They were vital to all that we did there. Also I need to say thank you to the many people that kept us in prayer. To be honest I felt like I was in a bubble. So protected.

In the devotional it talked about grace. Grace asks no questions concerning worthiness, it only acts out of self-sacrifice and love. Grace is only for a season, the day will come when God extends judgement to all who have rejected His grace and mercy. Grace is love that cares and stoops and rescues. God's grace was so evident for these people. Thank you God for your grace!

On to Thamel, our last stop before India.
