Part of the original assessment team has returned to the USA and will be debriefing us with their assessment and plans for future outreach to the victims of the 2 earthquakes. The greatest physical needs are food and shelter. Our teams have made connections with organizations in Nepal and have offered to help purchase and move supplies to villages severely impacted by the disasters. Obviously the spiritual needs within Nepal are equally as great, with Hinduism making up a reported 81.3% of the population whereas only 1.4% profess Christianity. Our plans include not only meeting the physical needs of the people of Nepal, but doing it with Christ's Ambassadors. Would you pray about joining a team and going yourself, or helping to support someone. There is nothing that comforts like a caring friend, when all has been lost. We have been given an opportunity to be that to the people of Nepal.
