Our outreach location for the Fall quarter has been decided: We are going to Nepal! I will be leading the team in December, and returning in the last few days of February. There are four students confirmed, and several more praying about joining our team.
Our DTS teams regularly go to Nepal and serve a network of pastors and ministries there; SBFM has not served in Nepal in several years. We recently received word from a returning DTS team that our contact there was asking about having an SBFM team back, citing that he desired to have a team particularly equipped to do foundational bible teaching. People are responding to the Gospel, but there is not an abundance of local ministers prepared to disciple these believers or build up the church. Our contact understands this need, and articulated it in the form of an invitation to us, at the School of Biblical Foundations and Missions in Maui! It is to this call that we have prayerfully responded.
I visited Nepal briefly in 2007 and worked alongside our ministry contact there. I am excited to return to Nepal for several months and participate in God's purposes there. Over the coming weeks, i hope to share more about this upcoming outreach to Nepal, perhaps by way of reflection on my last visit there.
