You have no doubt heard about the tragic earthquake in Nepal that so far has killed over 5000 people. The toll is likely to go higher. A friend of ours who leads a house of prayer in Kathmandu wrote a couple days ago.

"Please pray for Nepal. Please remember us in your prayer. Praise The Lord still we are safe from His grace but many people died including believers....We just built tent home and we will stay there tonight, please continue pray for us that God be us and protect everyone through His power. May The Lord bless you, Govinda and family".

Please be in prayer now for the following:

1 That the after shocks will calm down and for protection over those huddling in make-shift encampments outside their homes and in public squares.

2 For effective and well-coordinated national and international rescue and relief efforts for those who may still be trapped under collapsed buildings as well as for the quick supply of food, medicine and tents and that epidemics will be averted. More than 10,000 also need medical treatment.
 
3 Pray also for God's peace, comfort and love to surround this beautiful nation and this precious people, the great majority of whom still need to find Christ. May this tragedy and the loss of so many be used redemptively by the Lord to break the hold of Hindu and Buddhist idolatry and to bring huge numbers in every unreached people group to deliverance and faith in Him.

Thanks for your prayers.
