Teaching time in Gulariya

October 7th and 8th

     Kalu Ram had organised a two day teaching time at Gulariya Community Church, similar in many aspects to the sessions at Danel and Anita's church in Surkhet.  As mentioned before, resources and opportunity for teaching by folks from other areas is extremely limited.  We are becoming ever greatful for how resourced Canada is; greatful for the teaching that abounds and is so easily accessible.

     Janaac joined us for the first day of teaching, and showed a short Nepalese film about the Prodigals son.  At the end of the day, as always, we were welcomed into a home (Coolraj's) for company and a meal. Nate elaborated in concepts such as unity, discipleship, and multiple visionaries within a church body.  

     During the second day of the teaching time, I again had the opportunity to share the story of God's goodness and hand in my life.  I find that the more I speak out loud about God's purpose for me threading through my life, the more amazed and thankfuI become.

     In keeping with the wonderful norm, we shared a meal with another family (a teacher) in their home. Our host insisted that he wanted to serve us "sprite, or coke, or fanta" with our meal, and so he rode on his rickety bicycle on the gravel roads to purchase the drinks for dinner.  He told us in Nepalese (Netra translated) how excited and honoured he was to have us in his home.  We are becoming undone by people's love and care for us here.
