This month, the Nepali Christian Church Community has organized 40 Days of Global Prayer for Nepal, beginning May 4th and concluding with the Global Day of Prayer on June 12th. This time is enormously important for the Church in Nepal because the Gospel first arrived here in the 1950’s as a direct result of decades of prayer from around the world. Now the country is experiencing the fruits of those prayers with tremendous growth in the national church.
Over sixty years later, God has opened the door even wider, with recent religious freedom that has never before been experienced here. Following 10 years of political turmoil that resulted in over 15,000 deaths, Nepal is praying for peace and political transformation. Currently a new constitution, which is already a year overdue, is being written. As the May 28th extended deadline for the constitution approaches, there are renewed fears of more violence and unrest if it is not completed by the promised date. Despite this situation, God is able to bring this nation into a new time of blessing, peace and prosperity - if the church joins together in prayer.
So please join us in praying for Nepal.
