Yesterday, Jodi took me through Durbar Square here in Kathmandu. It's a place filled with Hindu shrines and temples - some of them hundreds of years old. It really made me mad. For hundreds of years, these people have worshiped and centered their lives around these worthless pieces of metal and stone, holes in the road - basically anything can be a god. And all the while God has been longing for them to know Him. It really gives a clearer picture of some of the places in the old testament where God tells people to turn from their worthless idols.
Today we leave the city and head for the mountains. We'll be taking two flights to get from Kathmandu to Humla district. I've been told it will be like going back 1000 years. And from the pictures I've seen I'll encounter the the most beautiful scenery I've every seen. We'll be traveling to several villages where Jodi is teaching women how to keep their children from dying of malnutrition. In these villages most people also have never heard of Jesus. We want to let God show Himself to them through us. Please pray for us during this time.
