God has chosen nations for His sake. ============================= I will show the holiness of My great name, which has been profaned among the nations—the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD, declares the Lord GOD when I show My holiness in you before their eyes ~ Ezekiel 36:23 I am thankful to the Lord, who has chosen the nation I dwell and the people I encounter for His sake. His picturesque creation praises the goodness of Him and the greatness of His mysterious plans. The Lands that I place my feet, I see mountains singing His hymns, lakes lifting His mighty names, and nature getting lost in His arms. ============================= Partner with us and let's transform communities together. www.reachhimalayas.org https://www.instagram.com/p/CFOec-qHbmZ/?igshid=q3r6q0opixlo

How Great is His Art! ====================== Sometimes, I wonder How great is my God's plan that is meant to prosper His Kingdom through us. I am delighted to know the fact that I hardly can measure His beautiful plans made through me. His kingdom has extended to the extreme horizons and the next side of the Himalayas that does take many days of tiresome walk and hikes. Matching the footsteps with the beautiful ups and downs of the rough rugged roads we can be to this mission field where my beloved brothers and sisters are living under terrible terror. Being persecuted by every corner, they remain hungriest and thirstiest for the bread of life seeking the coming of Jesus by liting the fire of Hopes & Dreams. Praises to the Lord, for I thank Christ Jesus my Lord, who has strengthened me, that He considered me faithful and appointed me to His service. ===================== Join Hands to bring His glory to the mission fields of RHMI. www.reachhimalaya.org https://www.instagram.com/p/CFOQ91wHiWt/?igshid=t33ph9c0sfhr

"Tears hid behind that shawl" ========================== Compulsion is something that can make a human helpless and do everything behind one's interest, desire, and willingness. The life of women in the Himalayas are just terrible and beyond one's imagination. From enduring abuses, domestic violence, digesting curse to early marriage, women are the most discriminated social being in most of the conservative societies in the Himalayas. Due to many humiliating factors, women become the victim of girls trafficking and are tempted to go after disgusting lures. This is not what they want, this is what they are compelled of. As my heart fills up with a burden for them, I pray for them and their state of mind, their physical stress, anxieties, and their future in Jesus. I have the vision of making them self-independent and brave enough to fight the evil tendencies that draw and hold them back. However, thanks to the Lord for many women have become independent due to sewing training, adult literacy programs, and church service that includes their involvement. They have become capable of running a family, look after the house expenses, and pay their children's school fees. Join us today to impact the lives of many impoverished and underprivileged women in the Himalayas. https://www.instagram.com/p/CFFCBZTn43q/?igshid=1cs9tu504to3d

"I Am Only a Human" ====================== I'm only a human. I grieve, feel pain both in and out, get frustrated and relate myself as a trivial creature. I also lack physical strength and become feeble. My leg hurts and my shoulder get pains. But,In the end, as I collect my passion, failures, tears, excitement, and vision and make it a whole - ONE... I see my "JESUS"... He has strengthened my legs and placed them in a steep rocky mountain. He has taken care of me. In the picture, I was so dehydrated that my lips were dried, my legs were shaking, my shoulder was leaning forward....and what more to say? The one who has climbed the Highest Peak will understand me for now. The water bag I pulled out and the first drop I sipped was like meeting my Jesus after years of faithful devotion. I felt like I was in Heaven. But I proudly declare that the one who created these whole rough rugged, desolate mountains calls me 'a friend'!! https://www.instagram.com/p/CE6ImAzhxtE/?igshid=1xfti0xc4hm3s

"Around the fire" ====================== One of the best parts of our Mission field trip is sitting around a campfire swapping testimonies and stories. This brings us close to each other, makes known to each other's favorites, strengthens the unity, and gives a new angle of accomplishing the mission. In the picture, myself and our RHMI team sat down around the campfire in the most rugged and snowy mountain of East Himalaya. It was so cold that we barely were moving our limbs. After a while, we sang hymns and praised the glory of God, sharing Gospels to the people nearby. It is indeed one of the unforgettable moments of our mission trip. Want to see more?

A sip of water. After walking miles through the rough terrain roads, steep mountains, dense forests, broken bridges, falling and getting hurt multiple times in spiky rocks, I wouldn't dare to speak a word out of my mouth because I was so exhausted that I was barely standing and collecting motivation to walk further. All I wanted was a sip of water. When one lacks the knowledge and experience of hiking miles in the Himalayas, I must say, you start feeling dizziness, fatigue, and having altitude sickness sometimes. Thanks to the Lord for providing His provision, security, and motivation through our every mission trip. After all, God seeks a heart with Passion, rest- He knows how to take care. Join us today to walk one more mile together for the love of Christ. www.reachhimalaya.org https://www.instagram.com/p/CEteqhlB_7f/?igshid=ar448ltlslmx

"Once more!" ========================== I must say that these wonderful people in the Himalayas are very good at listening. For the hours and hours of sharing His scriptures with some flavor of my own personal testimonies and achievements in Christ, these hungriest people were asking for some more. I was really tired on my own for walking miles to get there to share His sermon, but I was literally unable to stop myself as the Holy Spirit was on the move inside the Church. I personally realized that spiritual hunger is way heavier and more important than physical hunger. I was learning on my own. ========================== Partner with us today to take His supernatural and life-saving words to the hungriest and thirstiest deprived native people in the remotest Himalayas. Let us do the honor on your behalf. @reachhimalaya.org https://www.instagram.com/p/CEmMlcxBXD2/?igshid=1bun7rz54mwf9

Madal ====================== I was speechless to see the wonderful talent of this incredible young man. He is one of the prominent teens from his village who is renowned for playing Madal very beautifully. We came to know that he has been playing Madal since his 6 years old. In every fellowship, he is asked to play the Madal and the most interesting news is… whenever one sings the hymns in the Church, he grabs the Madal and starts playing for the singer. How passionate he is to glorify the Lord with his wonderful talent. I pray that every believer shall respect their talents and gifts given by God and sharpen their skills to glorify the Lord and understand His calling. ====================== Want to see more?

"Edifying sisters in the Himalayas" ========================= Many unschooled and underprivileged sisters having their own life stories have encountered the love of Christ through the sewing ministry. They have forgotten their past and learned to become self-independent and successful missionaries. After 6 months of sewing course and receiving graduation certificates, our sisters have become independent and capable of running their own businesses of sewing clothes. This ministry has not only helped them to uplift themselves but has empowered many women as a single, widow, divorced, and others. Also, RHMI has rescued, intervened and supported many sisters, who were sometimes a victim of girls-trafficking. The sewing training has provided them a new perspective on their life and encouraged them to continue living their lives with extra hope. Dear Partners, thank you very much for providing an income generation opportunity for them. Thank you for giving a 'once in a lifetime means of escape' from poverty by helping to empower these women and young girls to escape the sex trafficking trade through the purchase of a sewing machine. Today, they allocate tithes sincerely and have become able to support ministries, pay personal debts, look after their kids and families, add properties, and many more. Thank you for your Partnership. Watch more of our incredible ministerial works @reachhimalaya.org https://www.instagram.com/p/CEdce6WHxdQ/?igshid=1cut6ookae9i4

Jesus' Kitchen ================ And my God will supply all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus. ~ Philippians 4:19 ================ Infant and young child feeding are a cornerstone of care for childhood development. In remotest Himalayas, about 75% of children are stunted because of poor feeding and repeated infections. In 2018, due to poverty and improper nutritious foods, the infant mortality rate in Nepal was about 26.7 deaths per 1,000 live births. Over the past decades, RHMI has been feeding many underprivileged, deprived, and poor children with nutritious foods. However, Jesus' Kitchen ministry under RHMI is not only concerned about nutritious feeding, but we are also aware of their personal and spiritual development. We are rich sons and daughters of the richest father who supplies blessings according to His glorious riches so why not share our concern and love through feeding children and saving them from dying. Partner with us today to extend the mission of child feeding. @reachhimalaya.org https://www.instagram.com/p/CEakgdvHw5d/?igshid=40hhvla2owyo

'God Hears Child's prayer early'. ============================= I remember this beautiful child who was quietly praying in her own rumbling voice. We were having a big conference on the other side of the big hall. I wanted to meet some wonderful kids in their Sunday school and click some snaps of them and capture their beautiful memories. Then suddenly, this young girl caught my attention. I went near to hear and wanted to hear her prayer. I was amazed as I heard her saying, "Jesus! I miss you a lot. Do you miss me? I want you to come to meet me tomorrow because I have my birthday party, and could you please buy me that Red dress as my birthday gift? I will have my friends Sikha and Leela too. Also, please love my Father and Mother, the way I love them so much." I was stunned. And I found myself in tears. Immediately, after service, I met her parents and gave them some money to gift their child the Red dress she was expecting as a birthday gift. Her parents were full of tears in their eyes for they shared with me that they wanted to gift her the dress, but they had no money even to celebrate her birthday with a small cake. I couldn't stop myself from adding some more money to her birthday party. I wish every one of us could understand the trust in the Lord and the power of a prayer like that of a child. https://www.instagram.com/p/CEYI7wGnnQd/?igshid=fwjjo9rx8jyl

"Hearing the voices of Destitute" =========================== Poverty is pain. Poor people suffer physical pain that comes with too little food and long hours of work; emotional pain stemming from the daily humiliations of dependency and lack of power; and the moral pain from being forced to make choices such as whether to pay to save the life of an ill family member or to use the money to feed their children. It attacks a person not only materially but also morally. It eats away one’s dignity and drives one into total despair. But here's the Good news: God has appointed us to eradicate poverty from in and out of the surface of the Himalayas because our Rich Father in Heaven wants His children to be rich in every aspect. Over the past decades, the RHMI team has been working very hard to outreach and hear the voices of poor native people. Such people were never ignored by the Lord, He cannot do that, but He waits for your and my decision to step ahead to save them with the eternal Love of Jesus Christ. =========================== Partner with us today to make a difference and fulfill the great commission. @reachhimalaya.org https://www.instagram.com/p/CEV-xbzH97P/?igshid=bidswid5dfpv

"In the Confidence of your Love" A Prayer for God's Protection for Missionaries during COVID-19 ============================= God calls each of us to a specific work; to contribute that only we can make. We pray today for the courage, skill and sacrifice of all MISSIONARIES serving in this time. Pillar of Cloud and Fire, Exodus 13: 21-22 The Lord went in front of them in a pillar of cloud by day, to lead them along the way, and in a pillar of fire by night, to give them light, so that they might travel by day and by night. Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place in front of the people. God who traveled before and behind the Israelites in their journey from slavery to freedom, surround and support the brothers and sisters working in your wonderful ministry today. Never leave them to comfort and keep them well. Give them the strength to care and motivate each other who are serving amid remotest Himalayas. Be with the families of all who serve. Send your peace for their anxieties, joy for their fears, hope for their despair, and light for their darkness amid COVID-19 pandemic Lockdown. We pray in the confidence of your love. Amen. Partner with us today to impact lives and support hundreds of such prayers. @reachhimalayas.org https://www.instagram.com/p/CETPBWLnyYU/?igshid=eavntjb81l59

"A Regular Day in a Well" ======================== Water scarcity in the Himalayan regions is not an unusual mystery. Safe drinking water is the necessity of the community, dwelling in the remotest villages of the Himalayas. Especially, as women are mostly responsible for many household chores, they must travel miles to get water which wastes their day time and energy. In the tap, well or source of water, they have to stand in a queue and wait until for their turn. Ignored and sometimes humiliated. These regions lack many developmental works. @pic: our beloved Christian sister filling water in the Nepali local gallon called Gagri. They don't only come and go with filling water but share Gospels to anyone they meet on their way and in the well. They never get tired of praising the Glories of God. Despite their tight work schedules, they never forget to gather in the evening to worship God's praises and do a fellowship. This not only expresses the passion for Christ but also expresses a way to balance both physical and spiritual life. Your partnership means a lot to transform the lifestyle of native people. =========================== Visit today at @reachhimalaya.org https://www.instagram.com/p/CEE32CfHY-D/?igshid=jpkwwokc5zhy

"Strength of Faith" ========================= Nepal is highly vulnerable to several disasters for example earthquakes, floods, landslides, fires, epidemics, avalanches, windstorms, hailstorms, lightning, glacier lake outburst floods, droughts, and dangerous weather events. Among these disasters— an earthquake is the most- scary and damaging. The effects of a disaster, whether natural or human-induced, are often long-lasting. The earthquake of 25 April 2015 in Nepal enormously affected human, socio-economic, and other multiple sectors and left deep scars mainly in the economy, livelihood, and infrastructure of the country. However, our beloved believers stand firm in faith in God. Despite the huge loss of houses, livestock, and lands, they have learned to live in happiness imitating Jesus. They have conquered earthly depressions and unnecessary anxieties. --------------------------------------- @ Pic: snapping some yet unconstructed house remaining after the devastating earthquake of our beloved believers. Despite being ignored by the concerned Government authorities, they have not forgotten to smile for they say, " Houses have broken down but our faith in Christ will never break down". --------------------------------------- Let's transform and impact lives where it is needy.
