Today we traveled to a place near Patan...Im not really sure of the name but it was quite a drive...long and bumpy that is. Bro Rick and Mrs. Bev contacted their friend name Rena whom they met a couple of years ago when in Nepal. She now runs an orphanage that provides for 65 children...altogether they cook for 80 people! Can you believe! 80! Rena herself was an orphan. Please pray for Rena and her husband to find a home church so they can be pastored and mentored. There is such an importance in having a home church in which you can be connected and serving. I find that tolerance and compromise are always knocking at the door and sometimes we are not aware we have opened the door to them. This is why, among many other reasons, it is so important to be mentored. Not only does it bring accountability, but wisdom and light into your life. ALOT of the time, we cant see everything. We need to be submitted to a trusted leader who can speak into our life...with discernment and who can lovingly deal with us.
I have learned so much being here and watching the Zachary's as they interact with the nationals, and even with one another. I feel so blessed to be here with them. I know its not the easiest thing to have someone tagging along with you ;)
Ive been reading out of Hebrews, particularly chapter 2 and it has hit home with me. Jesus became like us so that He could defeat the devil who held us in fear of death so that we could be free......mmmmm.....YES. Ok gotta go. We have a meeting to attend tonight. I will update more when I have some time. Should be soon.

Awesome! Great words - how we must constantly be on guard for opening the door to tolerance and compromise. The door is usually opened one millimeter at a time, not in some huge confrontation - if it were approached in such a bold way, most would be able to see it as tolerance or compromise and refuse to allow it. Wisdom must be sought after in a spirit of humility.
Accountability is so important and not wanted by most - they think it will be giving up "control" over their lives, or they feel nothing would ever tempt them, therefore, they don't need accountability - pride is deceiving them one thought at a time. True accountability brings out the best in us, improves our weaknesses, and helps prune out the junk. It is a privilege to be held accountable because it is done in love.
I am so excited for you!! and I look at your blog everyday to see what you have to say..I miss you and I am praying for you as you are on your travels!!
