Outreach Week Six – Rocking in Pokhara
This week we are in Pokhara.
The city is cleaner, the water is cleaner, the air is cleaner too. Some of us have been able to shake a cough that we have been stuggling with in Kathmandu.
We FINALLY have seen some of the high Himalayas! We have seen Fishtail and the Anapurnas… they are HUGE. Denise made me climb up a cellphone tower to take a better picture for my mother!
As part of serving the Y Pokhara mininstries we have been working at the Y base moving and sorting tons of rocks from a recent building project. It has been awesome to do something intensely practical. We have also helped to finish the construction of a prayer room, worked in their pre-school classes, and went to a Tibetan refugee camp that was established over 50 years ago.
It is so beautiful here… it is a nice “breather” after the last few weeks of pushing hard with ministry opportunities that require more planning and logistics. It is good to see the results of something tangible and practical. The team is doing well but will make good use of a few lighter days…
Thanks for praying for us!
