Responding to Nepal….

Life is short, and mission is urgent.  

Two weeks ago, a devastating earthquake struck Nepal killing over 8,000 people. Yesterday, another 7.3 quake struck the region again resulting in at least another 68 deaths.
  
David Platt recorded a powerful message on A Christ-Compelled Response to Nepal. You can listen to it here...http://www.radical.net/media/series/view/2490/a-christ-compelled-response-to-nepal?filter=series

We are encouraged to pray more fervently, give more sacrificially, and go more urgently to the peoples of Nepal.

Many of you are wondering what you can do. Here are some organizations you can support who have been and will continue to work in Nepal.

1.  Asia’s Hope:  Asia’s Hope is a multi-denominational, grassroots movement working in Cambodia, Thailand, and India to provide quality long-term care for orphaned children at high risk of sexual and economic exploitation.  A fellow Acts 29 pastor has worked with this group in Asia, and I am hoping to go in 2016.

2.   Mountain Child:  Mountain Child exists to empower Himalayan children with the skills to become carriers of hope to their people.

3.  International Mission Board: The IMB has one goal - bringing the Gospel of Jesus Christ to unreached people in the world. They have been working in Nepal too.
