Leaving Soon....!!!!

Ok, so for those of you who don't know this already, I am leaving for Nepal (for 2 months) and Sri Lanka (for 1 month) this Sunday!! My flight leaves 7:25 AM from NO. Im flying then to Los Angeles-to Singapore-to Kathmandu, Nepal. Im so excited! God has given me an awesome opportunity to serve under Mr. Rick and Mrs. Beverly Zachary. Let me explain who they are for a second. Ok, my pastor (Larry Stockstill) has the world mapped out in 12 regions. And for each region he has designated a pastor who is in charge of planting churches in that area. The Zachary's are the pastors over South Asia. They have planted over 3,000 churches in South Asia over the past 7 years!!! I love their vision. Check out their website: http://rickzachary.com/ and read about the work they are doing all throughout South Asia. I pray you will be inspired as I was.

We will be spending four days in Kathmandu when I arrive. The Zachary's will take me around the city and show me the largest church in Nepal so I can see all possibilities of what I want to do. That'll be Saturday Feb 23. (Churches in Nepal meet on Saturdays since that's everyone's day off). On Sunday, we'll go out to Bhaktapur where the Children's home is. Mrs. Bev and Mr. Rick will spend a couple of days there then they will head on to Nepalgunj (in Nepal), and I will stay a week in Bhaktapur and get to know David and Sony Sagar. David and Sony are over the children's home. Its an orphanage. I know I will enjoy that so much!

Then I am heading off via airplane to join The Zachary's in Nepalgunj around March 2 or 3rd. Nepalgunji is where KB and Sushila Basel direct Sophia Primary School and are its founders. They also pastor the church located on the mission compound and oversee a growing number of village churches. From this point on, Im not sure what I will be doing, or if I will have regular access to Internet. But, I will be keeping a journal on my computer so that I can update everyone when I get the chance.

What I do know for sure is that on April 18, I am flying to Columbo, Sri Lanka!!!...where I will be working with a church the Zachary's helped to plant. Mr. Rick and Mrs. Bev will not be coming with me to Sri Lanka, so I will be showing up by myself (at 3 AM!!)to meet Pastor Dishan DeSilva and team ;) The weather in Sri Lanka is quite different from the weather in Nepal. When I arrive in Nepal it will be cold. In Sri Lanka, Mr. Rick it gets very hot. Even hotter than when I was in Thailand!!! Wow...thats pretty hot.And then, on May 18 I depart home from Columbo.

Wow. I feel so very blessed to be working with the Zachary's. They are doing the work of the Lord in a way I haven't seen before. They don't have a place they call 'home.' They move from country to country strengthening leaders. It really reminds me of Paul and his work. I cant wait to see them!! I will be meeting them in the Singapore airport as they are flying back to Nepal from Myanmar.Please pray for me as I am getting everything ready to leave. I seem to be having some packing stress ;) Im sure you understand. I will keep you updated as I know more.
Love yall

PS. Just so you know, this is not just an opportunity for me….I believe God desires us all to be a part of The Great Commission. You can do this too!!!!! Look it up in Matthew 28:16-20 and ask God to reveal to you what YOUR part is in The Great Commission.
