Early this month I had the opportunity to accompany a Nepali and a Malayian to a remote village. This guy is working with a neplai organisation in holistic mission. He has been going regularily to this village where a small church has been planted and to help lead in its worship there and to do other work. I first cycled half an hour to meet the group, we then caught a bus at 6am and travelled about 2 and half hours. After this journey we walked 5 hrs up up up in to the hills in the searing heat. Fortunitaly i had 3 liters of water with me, which we were grateful for.
Eventually we arrived at the village and were given a tour, some people were surpried to see a foreigner as we were well of the beat track. That evening we met in a church with about 15 believers, and the following day also for communion.Part of the work being done in this village, is to build bathrooms. A total of 3 sites were identified, and I understand now a month later these have been nearly completed. Will try to visit again, as the villagers are keen to meet Nicola and the children.
