The
need for Nepal's indigenous ministries to build new houses is greater
than ever as freezing temperatures and an economic blockade threaten
survival, six months after this pastor sat atop the rubble of his home
following two major earthquakes. "This is the time to build," the leader
of a ministry based in Nepal said. "We have sent relief such as food,
clothes, blankets, tarpaulins, metal tin roofing, and a large water tank
for one community, but the big recent need is building houses." In one
village, a ministry is helping to build 40 houses, including 10 for
families who are not Christian, an effort expected to smooth the way for
sharing the gospel. "These groups were shifted from their village,
which was damaged by earthquakes and landslides," the director said. "We
are building houses with the cooperation of a local church." He and
other indigenous ministries appealed for funds to build houses as costs
have skyrocketed due to the blockade.
