Happy Easter!

Hope you all have a wonderful blessed Easter!
It is all moving very fast and I am grateful to get internet access again to wish you joy from this side of the globe as we celebrate "He is Risen"!!!
Thanks to all of you who have faithfully pr-ayed and written me notes of encouragement!
They mean so much and I apologize that I can't personally respond to each on this limited time on internet but know I love you all and how I value those thoughts and p-ray-ers... keep them coming! they got me through a rocky week!
Beth, Randy, and their son Jonathan arrived last week and Randy looked pretty pale and peaked... 24 hours later his wife Beth was on my doorstep asking for whatever I knew might help him over the Nepali Nachna ( dance) ( coming and going at both ends... basically!). He was also pale and dizzy. I sent her home with colloidal silver, probiotics, charcoal pills and a packet of chicken soup... 12 hours later I went to check on my "patient" and found him "feeling great" and treating patients at the hospital for a full days work! So praise the L-ord for his full recovery. It has boosted my credibility in the community as well and we now have a run on those requesting "jouri butti" or natural healing. On the way here today I was asked for an interview for the new FM station for "jouri butti" ... I said 'We'll talk later!"
2 days ago I got the Nepali Nachna! The same routine fixed me up in about the same time frame! I can sure relate to Randy now!
We are in the middle of another Bhand ( road closure) with Dave on that side of it and me on this! Pr-ay he will be able to get up the hill in time for Good Friday and Easter as planned.

Also 4 urgent P-ray-er requests:
1) Rama... one of the paraplegics had what was to her a catastrophe... her 12+ year old waterbed became brittle, cracked and leaked water all over the floor for 2 days before the maintenance man could be located and give it attention. They did patch it yet again! She is back in it but it is fragile at best and who knows how long it will last.
Waterbed rubber mattresses are simply not available in Nepal! Her room mate Digri is in the same plight with multiple patch job version of a bed also! Pra-y with me for 2 full size new or in great condition water bed liners and at least one pump/hoses to be donated for their cause. I'm told there is another believ-er in the bazaar, also a paraplegic, who could really benefit by one too.( he is a victim of a attack by the "M"'s during the war a few years ago! both girls are victims of falls from trees while cutting fodder for the goats and buffaloes!)
My sister,Di, and family are coming to Nepal, L-ord willing, in June for 6 weeks and Di when you get this, let me know if it would be a possibility for you to bring one or more with you if we can gather them by then! They are currently in Rapid City So. Dakota.
It would truly be a blessing to these women to have the security of an firm unleaking bed under them!
2) P-r-ay re: our involvement with the local new FM station. Currently there is no Ch-ris-tian programming and certainly nothing in the local Dotiali language! Di and Larry, with SIL, are comming as afore mentioned to assist with training and programming to see if this could be a viable option for us to assist with! ( Di, a Dr., will also probably be put to good medial use as well!)
Dave and I plan to meet with the local elders and the FM station managers to discuss the logistics and details ( yet again) and hash out how we could do this! It costs $4500.00 for a 15 - 20 minute slot once a day for a year. That is just the broadcasting. Double it ? for the programming and salary of a committed staff. Who would that be? Can we prepare 6 months of programming in advance? Would the Ch-u-rch be responsible for the outreach and content and we just assist with funding? Or do we set up a new committee to manage it all? These are some of the concerns. Could you intercede for us on this important issue. We need wisdom and direction as we'll need to move fast if we are to get Board approval (once we know some of these answers post meeting this week), sign a 6 months or one year contract before Dave and I return on June 1st, and get our team motivated and started before we go or at least excited to participate with Larry when he arrives!
Thanks for lifting us up during this narrow window of opportunity to get out the Word in the language the women and children understand!
3) Well, well! Still have not hit water at 90 feet deep on the well... pr-ay Dave will arrive with good news on that on Good Friday!
4) as in many places... many attend services this time of year where otherwise they may not! We ask for increased ripening of hearts and sensitivity to the lifechanging message of Grace for the Nepali people!
