Prayer request for this week

Please, pray with us for our friend, Phil, who is not doing good at all. His doctor couldn't find out what's wrong with him, so he has to go to Katmandu for further tests. If you would like to recieve the newsletter with more information, just send us an email.

A little more than a month

- and we will be in the plane heading for Doha and further on to Katmandu.
At the moment travel preparations are getting more intense. We need permits, tickets and accommodation in the land. Our friend in Pokhara is about to call Mendok's familiy in the next days to inform them about the details for the second surgery. The weather is quite bad and the connection to Jomsom is not available every day. Please also pray for our friend, he is not doing well with his health.
If you want to get the latest newsletter or the newsletters at all, just send an email.
We feel every time again how God spins little small threads for this Nepal trip. We are curious about the things He will do!
Please also pray for our American friends, right now we are not sure if they can meet us in Nepal.
For people in the Siegen area: there will be prayer for our trip at church on Sunday, October 9th (Calvary Chapel Siegen). There you will get also more detailed information and specific prayer requests.

We get started...

Last week we booked the tickets for the outreach this fall. With a small team of 5 we wil follow the invitation of our friends and be two weeks in Nepal. Mostly in Lupra where Mendok's school is located, but also at the Shushma Koirala Hospital in Sankhu.
We also hope that some friends from the US will be added to our team.
So far we start with the preparations: setting a date for Mendoks surgery, to plan travels in Nepal, check for places to stay... we are thankful for all kinds of support!

Danyabat!

That means "thank you" in Nepali - thank you to everyone, that helped with the cake fundraising on Sunday at CC Siegen. Either by baking or buying a cake. It was a great encouragement for our small team. You sponsered almost a whole flight on Sunday. :-) This week we are going to book the flights, again we are a little late for that. We will get the last available flights, but everything fits: 5 flights left for booking and 5 people going to Nepal
What's next: getting in contact with interplast because of the second surgery date for Mendok, the detailed travel plans and preparing for the time at Mendok's school. 
We still need financial support. The flights in fall are more expensive, because it is one of the main travel seaosons to Nepal. The economic crisis also reached Nepal, namely with a little delay, but together with some political quarrels it is reason enough for the gas prices to rise. This makes travelling in the country more expensive, also.
But: if God opens a door, nothing and no one will be able to close it.

News from Jomsom

From an email a friend send to us who is in Jomsom right now:
"I got to meet Mendok's mother. She told me Mendok has joined school, and she is doing well. Her teeth have started growing and there are times wehn it hurts. But other then that there is no problem."
Bina, Mendok's mother, sends many greetings. This Sunday we will met with interested people to pray about the trip this coming fall and to plan more detailed.

Please pray for Nepal!

Compass direct, an organisation that's informing about persecution of Christians around the world, spreaded news, that Nepal is working on a new criminal code that will forbid evangelism. Please pray with us that this criminal code won't become a written law!
Pray with us, that we will redeem the time and be able to go to Nepal this fall. Right now we are praying for wisdom in getting the team together, for the finances and the schedule for the second surgery for Mendok.


Mendok and her family are doing good, by the way. Her headmaster wrote an email confirming his invitation for this coming fall. Please continue to pray for Mendok and her family!

An Evening in Nepal

We want to invite you to an evening in Nepal at the House of Hope, Hagener Straße 78, 57072 Siegen - if you are living in Germany. If not, please pray for this evening! We will give a report from our travel, show some great pictures and more than that inform about the ongoing of the Mendok Project.
