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.

Back in Germany

... and a little late with the update of this blog.
The first (main) surgery was last Monday; on Sunday there was a follow up surgery done. Today I got news from a Nepali friend that everything seemed to have gone well. He will contact me again if he knows if Mendok will need another follow up surgery tomorrow or not.
It is for sure that she will need a second surgery. And it is for sure as well, that we didn't go for her to Nepal the last time. The Mendok Project will be continued! If you received our newsletter, you got a climpse of our adventerous trip. Adventerous for the main reason that God opened a door for us widely. We got an invitation from Mendok's school to come back in fall and do some lessons there. We are so thankful for everything that God had done! The story is to be continued...

Two more days...

...and we are all excited! I just packed 40 bars of chocolate flight- and melting prooved together with all the other small presents for the Wiedenest missionaries. And while working on this, I just finished everything and packed my stuff also.
This picture is from last year; Roland on the left helped a lot initiating the Mendok Project. Sam and me (Dameria) have the great privilege to help to get it into practice.
We will try to keep this Blog updated. You still have the possibility till Friday morning to sign up for the email newsletter.

Only 4 more days!

This weekend I passed the Frankfurt airport twice and there was this prickeling feeling in my stomach... Now it is not long anymore till the trip starts! These last days it got more and more important for us to really prepare this trip in prayer. Tonight we met with friends and prayed, it was both good and encouraging. Now we are really excited and full of expectations what God will do... What He already did: do you remember the story with the chocolate for this children's home? We not only got 40, but one hundred bars of chocolate! I love these simple littel side stories where God schows His greatness through small little things. And this great God is on our side!

Half of the Team...

Mendok's school in Lupra

... struggles really bad with their health and the other half is filled up with work until their head. This sentence of course is put into a different perspective if one is aware that the team only consists of two people :-) But anyhow we are thankful for every single prayer.
Until we can post new pics there is one again from Mendok's school in Lupra, more than 9.800 feet high. We are so looking forward to meet our friends there. Only 12 more days till the plane leaves...
