Colossians 1:24-29

"Now I rejoice in what was suffered for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ's afflictions, for the sake of his body, which is the church. I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness— the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the saints. To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me."

I read this passage while I was trekking through Mustang and it quickly became the passage I kept coming back to for the remainder of the trip.


I walked through villages with out a single believer, you could walk up to people and ask them if they knew who Jesus Christ was and they had never heard that name before. They are so lost in darkness. They believe if you read that bible you go crazy. I never though I'd see a demon possessed person. I also never thought I'd have to amazing privilege to see people come to Christ, to see people get baptised in those villages. God is working. You know how you will share the gospel with someone and then just pray that someone will come along to water it. Well we got to be the ones to water the seed.
There was one village in particular that was so ready for harvest. But we weren't able to stay and that was the hardest place to leave. Knowing that you're leaving baby Christians in a pack of wolfs. We covered that village in prayer and still are. But our God is great. What he started He won't let die. We just had to learn that God is bigger then us. And He has a plan for them and there growth.
The people in Nepal are so beautiful. I pray that God will continue working in there lives.
