This is a photo of me with a young man named RK. He has served as my tramslator during the first 2 days of the Pastors Conference in Chitwan. He is an outstanding translator! But that is not what inspires me about him. He assists his grandfather, a pastor, in a number of villages. Every Saturday, which is the day of worship in Nepal, he hikes up into the mountains, a hike of 5 hours each way, in order to meet with a group of Christians from a small village. He conducts a worship service and spends the day with them. Then he makes the 5 hour trek back to his home. He said that every week about halfway home, he feels tired and weary, but thinks about the time he had with that group and is then re-energized and makes it home. The trails and “roads” are so bad that he cannot even take a motor bike, thus, he walks. Wow. What an inspiration. He is 29, is married, and has an 8-year old son and a 2-month old daughter. God bless this guy. Through the week he visits a number of other villages as well. It’s a different life here, folks. Mountainous, difficult, without most of the comforts we take for granted. In fact, our flight here was 22 minutes in length, but would have taken 8 hours by car, due to the winding, clogged, dangerous mountain roads.
There are also probably 20 Bible college students in attendance as well. It is all going well and I am thankful to be here.
Thanks for the prayers.
