After
a devastating earthquake in April and a severe aftershock in May that
killed more than 9,000 people in Nepal, children wait with their mother
for relief items at a mountain distribution site. Their remote villages
inaccessible to trucks carrying aid, families braved fierce rains to
collect food and corrugated sheet metal for protection from monsoons.
Indigenous missionaries have provided rice and other staple items to
hungry children enduring lack of shelter, schooling and safe water and
sanitation because of the earthquakes. “Even after they receive the
relief goods, they have to carry them for four hours to six hours,” the
director of one indigenous ministry said. “In all these affected areas,
they have lost houses and dear ones. Some lost all their children, and
some lost their parents. After seeing their condition, I could not
control my tears; they just started rolling down. Please lift them up in
your prayers so they can hear Jesus, see Jesus and believe in Jesus.
Jesus is the only hope for them.”
