[{"content":"\u0026ldquo;For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of him:\u0026rdquo;\n1 Samuel 1:27 (NKJV)\nBy the grace of God, we have become parents! God heard our prayers that we prayed during these past six years. We faced a lot of problems and also discouraging words from other people. We felt like we had no hope in this world, but we always hoped and fully trusted that Jesus could hear our prayers and that He would certainly give us a baby. Thank you for praying with us and supporting us in this difficult situation. God gave us a baby!\nWhen our baby was born, we were so happy. The nurse let us look at our baby and take pictures. Unfortunately, we could not hold him. She told us that in 30 minutes, they would give us our baby and we would be able to hold him. We waited very long hours, but we did not get our baby. After many hours, the doctor told me that our baby had to be in the NICU for several days, because his blood sugar levels were not correct. I became very upset and was crying so hard. I ran to my beautiful wife, who had a C-section surgery. For days, I went go back and forth between my wife and our baby to be with both of them. I was so happy, but I was not allowed to hold our child. Suddenly, this made me feel very sad.\nThree days ago, we were able to bring our baby home! He spent 9 days in the hospital. He is now healthy. We are praying that our baby will do great work in the Kingdom of God.\nFor Christians, death is not the end, but the beginning of a new life with God. This is the message I shared with my church on Easter Sunday. I told our church to be witnesses of Christ and to be ready to do God\u0026rsquo;s work and share the Good News with everyone.\nGod loves people, so we should also love them, teach them, equip them, and finally, love to serve them. Another ministry we are doing is at the leper colony. We have Bible study every Friday with the people at the leper colony. Our Bible school students are doing their practical ministry there. They are able to learn how to preach, how to serve, and how to fellowship. By the grace of God, we are currently teaching the Gospel of Matthew. Each week, over 20 people attend the Bible study. Please pray that other unreached people around the leper colony will come to our Bible study. God is using me to train up these lepers, who have become Christians.\nBy the grace of God, this semester I have already been able to finish the Gospel of John. I love to teach my dear students and they also enjoy learning.\nIn our home church, I am teaching the Book of 1 Peter.\nAnother update is both happy and sad. Happy, because my mother went to be with the Lord at the age of 62. It was my mother that taught me how to be a Christian and to continue doing the service of the Lord.\nSad, because we miss her every moment. We miss her presence in our home and at our church. We had a memorial service for her.\nMy beautiful wife is also helping me. She encourages young and old women in God\u0026rsquo;s Word. She is teaching through a social platform, doing Bible study online with many women from different churches. She has finished teaching the Book of Genesis, which has taken 1.5 yrs to teach chapter-by-chapter and verse-by-verse. Now, she is teaching the Book of Revelation on Sundays. Since our baby was delivered, she is taking some time to rest. After her health recovers, she will continue to teach and train them.\nMore people are attending our church. More teens and young adults are attending, and we also do children\u0026rsquo;s ministry. Please pray that more parents will allow their children to come to our church.\nWe went to visit one of our church believer\u0026rsquo;s home, to spend time with them and have fellowship together. One of the family members in this home had been very ill. No medical treatment had worked, no witch doctor treatment had worked. The doctor told him that he would not live. He will definitely die. He had a problem caused by demonic power, and his nervous system would not work well. He was like a paralytic for years. Now, this year, God did a miracle in his life! He is changed and from that time to this time, he and his whole family have accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior! Pray that Brother Nabin will be healed completely. Please also pray that if he becomes well physically, and can see clearly with his eyes, that he will join Bible college and show interest in doing God\u0026rsquo;s work.\nPray Requests:\nPray that God will bring more people to our church. My friend Sujan always reads the Bible. He comes to church every week. Pray He will accept Jesus as His personal Savoir. Pray that parents will allow their children to come to our church. Many people in the area surrounding the church hear the Gospel and the Word of God. Pray that they will accept Jesus and come to church. Pray that God will help our church to be able to have more types of musical instruments. Some times the church hall becomes full and we have difficulty adjusting. Pray that God will provide for us. Thank you so much for supporting us, praying for us and raising us up. God bless every entire family of Saving Grace.\nGrace and Peace,\nYour faithful servants,\nRabi and Mahima\n","permalink":"https://archive.sgwm.com/shrestha/shrestha/2025/06/03/god-has-answered-our-prayers/","summary":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u0026ldquo;For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of him:\u0026rdquo;\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Samuel 1:27 (NKJV)\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"gallery gallery-cols-1\"\u003e\u003cfigure\u003e\n    \u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" src=\"/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/1000100703.jpg\"/\u003e \n\u003c/figure\u003e\n\u003cfigure\u003e\n    \u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" src=\"/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/1000097887.jpg\"/\u003e \n\u003c/figure\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy the grace of God, we have become parents!

We are also amazed by the number of children who came to our Christmas program\u0026ndash;about 42 children attended the Christmas program in our church! When I saw them, I rejoiced in Christ because they were so eager to come to our Christmas program.\nWe also distributed some gifts to the children who regularly come to our children\u0026rsquo;s ministry. We gave them some chocolate to enjoy during the program, too.\nIn the beginning, over 40 adults came for our Christmas program. More people continued to come, even into the night. By the end of the night, more than 100 people had attended. We had a bonfire and many enjoyed the fire.\nOur church youth did the best they could to dance, sing, and do other things to engage our guests. We do not have a good sound system, so sometimes people cannot hear us loudly when we are in an open area. We have been praying, and slowly more people have been coming to our open area church program.\nDuring this program, we added extra things to draw more people. We played games, and when we played musical chairs we gave the winners prizes like soap, a brush, or a comb, etc.\nMy beautiful wife, Mahima, is now 7 months pregnant. Thank you for praying for Mahima. She has also been teaching her women\u0026rsquo;s Bible Study, through an online platform. She has been dealing with gestational diabetes, and her blood pressure is also increasing. Please pray for her to be healthy and for our baby to be healthy.\nIn the leprosy colony, we have been doing a Bible Study. By the grace of God, everyone has been growing daily as we are feeding God\u0026rsquo;s Word to them. We 200 packets of sugar at the leprosy colony during the Christmas season. Their faces glowed, and every leper had a smiling face when they received a small packet of sugar in their hands. They thanked me and told me, \u0026ldquo;May God bless you.\u0026rdquo;\nFor the first time, we played Christmas carols in our neighborhood and shared the Gospel. The people heard the Good News of Christ. We also shared the Gospel more to the people in the area around our church by having a fire outside. People gathered around the fire and we shared the Gospel with them.\nPray Requests:\nOur Bible Institute\u0026rsquo;s new semester will be starting soon.

We already finished this semester\u0026rsquo;s formal classes at Calvary Bible Institute. Everything went well . For the end of our semester, we did outreach in the area where one of our staff, Pastor Milan ministers. All of our beloved students worked hard during the outreach. They prepared a skit, Gospel songs, dance and more. We did open air preaching at local places including the market area. We did our outreach with a tribal people group that our student Manish is serving with. Manish is the brother of Pastor Milan. He is taking care of these people and giving them sound doctrine and sound teaching. This people group is not very educated. They used to live only in the forest, not in houses like we live in. I am also doing ministry among these people. Some came to become students at our Calvary Bible Institute, but unfortunately they ran away from the Bible Institute. We shared and proclaimed the Gospel there like the Bible says \u0026ldquo;Go and preach to all the nations.\u0026rdquo;\nGod loves people, so we also love them, teach them, equip them and love to serve them. Another ministry we are doing is at the leper colony. We do Bible study every Friday at the leper colony. As our students are learning how to preach, serve, and conduct fellowship, they do practicums at the Leper Colony.\nBy the grace of God, we are teaching the book of 2nd Samuel. Over 20 people regularly attend our Friday Bible studies. Please pray that more unreached people from around the leper colony will come. I am also doing ministry at the Leper colony. God is using me to train the leper believers and raise them up in God\u0026rsquo;s Word.\nBy the grace of God this semester, I already finished the Gospel of Luke. I love to teach my dear students. They also enjoy learning. In my home church I am teaching the book of Hebrews. I love to teach and equip others. In the book of Hebrews, God taught the great lesson of how to have joy in Christ even in every bad circumstance. It talks about the angels, Moses, David, Abraham, the law, the Old Testament, and Melchizedek and that Jesus is the greatest of them all. The book teaches us to meet together in church fellowship; to be ready for the Lord\u0026rsquo;s coming, to encourage each other, to rejoice in Christ every day, not to loose everything that we got from Jesus. that we should always pray. The writer encourages his fellow brothers and sisters. We also should do that work in Christ to raise up others and encourage them and lift them up in Christ during hard times in ministry.\nMy beautiful wife is also helping me and helping at Calvary Bible Institute. She helps raise up young and old women in God\u0026rsquo;s Word. She is teaching a Bible study where many sisters and mothers from different churches gather online. She already finished teaching the book of Genesis. She went through Genesis in a year and a half by teaching verse-by-verse, chapter-by-chapter. Now she is teaching the book of Revelation every week on Sundays. Pray for her to have a baby. If it is not God\u0026rsquo;s will pray that He will provide a good job for her, because other people look down on her if she only has free time. They will gossip. So to stop people gossiping, she needs a nice job. We are planning to try to go to the doctor again to try to have a baby. The first time we went to the doctor it did not work, so we saved our money even while we were moving to our new church and are now planning to go back to the doctor.\nWe have been married for over 5 years now. In our country\u0026rsquo;s culture for a woman to not have a baby is like being cursed. Our family also is not supportive of us not being able to have a baby. They gossip about it, so we also feel very bad at family gatherings. Other women say things to my wife like \u0026ldquo;I do not even want to look at your face, because you do not have a baby.\u0026rdquo; Because of this, we are facing a lot of difficulties right now. Please pray for us to have a baby and that God will provide for us to have further treatment at the doctor if it is His will.\nMore people are coming to our church. More teenagers and young adults are also joining our church. We are also doing children\u0026rsquo;s ministry. Pray that the children\u0026rsquo;s parents will allow them to come to our church.\nPrayer Requests:\nPray that God will bring more people to our church. My friend Sujan reads his Bible a lot. He always comes to our church every week. Pray that he will accept Jesus as his personal Savior. Pray that parents will allow their children to come to our church. In the surrounding area of our church many people are hearing the Gospel and the Word of God shared. Pray that they will accept Jesus and come to church. Teenagers and young adults enjoy musical instruments. Pray that God will provide music for the church. Pray that God will provide me with the ability to live-stream easily.

He is continuing to participate in our youth fellowship and asked many questions there. We all are eager to answer his questions. Please pray for my dear friend. His name is Sujan.

I could not go, because my mom had fallen from a ladder and she became ill. I have taken care of her since her fall. After praying about this place for 7 years, God brought a student from this place to our Calvary Bible Institute. He is short in height but strong physically. His name is Pasang. He has no parents and no one to take care of him. We convinced him that we will take care of him like our own brother or sister and he will be like family to us. Now he is almost finished with the Bible Institute. He will graduate soon.\nIt is exciting to share about the mission trip that we took to the area that Pasang is from and share the story of how God is moving in our midst. Pasang lost his father and mother in early childhood. There is a blind man named Dawa who lives in Pasang\u0026rsquo;s village. He is a pastor who had been to Bible College. He took Pasang in and fed him like a mother feeds her small baby. He sent Pasang to our Bible College to study God\u0026rsquo;s Word. Pasang has now reached his last semester. When I visited his village for a couple of weeks, I saw that Pasang has a servant\u0026rsquo;s heart. He took care of the blind pastor, Dawa, and helped him in ministry. When I watched them, they reminded me of Paul and Timothy. Pasang is teaching and playing the guitar, as well.\nThey have started a church for the main tribe that lives there. People from another tribe also come to the church. The church has 70 people who come. On Saturdays, 40 people attend the service. This is a very hilly place, so they have a lot of work to do. There are still 300 houses and many more families that are still unreached in this area.\nThere are 5 people in their church that are blind. When we heard the story of how this church was established, it did not sound easy to open a church in this area. People from the village created many obstacles of persecution to try to prevent the building of the church. God was with the Christians, though, and they were able to finally establish the church after many problems. Pastor Dawa shared how the villagers threatened him. Many times the police came and took Pastor Dawa to interrogate him. When we visited the believers\u0026rsquo; houses, we heard how the people in their villages persecuted them and threatened them because they were living for Christ. Pray for those who have persecuted them to be saved. To God be the glory.\nThank you for sending us, supporting us and praying for us. We were encouraged by Pasang\u0026rsquo;s ministry. He had no father or mother, was raised up by his pastor and then was sent to our Bible college to learn to walk in faith and learn the Word. We believe that God has a greater plan for this area.\nWe are doing children\u0026rsquo;s ministry at our Calvary Chapel. Many more children are interested in coming to our church, but their parents do not allow them to enter our church. Pray that God will work in the hearts of the parents and that they will send their children to our church.\nOur church has already finished the book of 1st Timothy. We are starting the book of Matthew now. In our Saturday service we are studying 2nd Timothy. After the service ends, we have a youth fellowship. Also, on Wednesdays, we have Bible study on the Book of Ezekiel.\nMy beautiful wife is teaching the book of Revelation on an online social media platform. Many sisters in the Lord are connected through this social platform in our country and other countries. She has now reached chapter 10 in Revelation with this group of ladies.\nPray Requests:\nPray that God will cause all the children in our locality to be able to come into our church building.

We started church services at a new place. We started having a children\u0026rsquo;s church service. 70 people attend our Christmas Program. God brought youth into our church. We had a blessed Christmas at the Leper Colony. \u0026ldquo;And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.\u0026rdquo;\n(Matthew 16:18)\nPraise God! He provided us with a church building to do His ministry. For many years we have been praying for our church. While we were having church services at my home, we had many obstacles. My own elder brother, who always drinks alcohol, spoke rubbish words that hampered the growth of our church. As you all know, my family does not belong to a Christian background. Only me, my beautiful wife, and my mom are Christians. Sometimes, my mom also has some problems. She says \u0026ldquo;I am a Christian.\u0026rdquo; but does not always behave like a Christian. Because of these obstacles, we lost a lot of people from our church . Because of a minor mistake of my mom, people quit coming to our church. I still ask them to come back to church, but they do not come.\nPlease pray that my mom\u0026rsquo;s life will be change and she will become devoted to Christ. Pray that she will be witness of Christ to be bring more people into our church.\nFor 5 years we prayed, and God heard our prayers. Now God has provided us with a beautiful church building to rent. We are now having church services there. God did a wonderful work! In the area we live, most of the people follow Hinduism. They will not let Christian people rent a home. When they do, they tell the Christians they have to eat meat outside of the house and can only come into the house (not eat in it). God provided us a church building to rent in this area!\nThe people in this area also hesitated to come when we invited them to come to our Christmas program.\nPrayer Requests:\nPlease pray that God will bring more people to our church as we share the Gospel daily. Please pray God will bring children to our church . Pray that God will bring more young adults to our church. Pray that God will bring women to our church. Pray that God will bring all types of people to our church so we can serve them. By the Grace of God, we made a beautiful church. We have offering at our church. Every Saturday we collect a little money. That money we use for our church.\nAmazing things happened! We prayed to have a place for a church, and we prayed for a pulpit. God gave us money to buy new carpet, a pulpit and Gypsum board (for the ceiling) from the offering that we collected at our worship service.\nBy the grace of God, He gave us the opportunity to do ministry among children. Eight children came to church (above). All of these children live around our church. Some children are interested and want to come to church but their family did not want them to come, so the children came secretly.\nWe had a blessed Christmas at our new church (above). 70 people attend our Christmas program. By God\u0026rsquo;s help, it is the first time we had a Christmas program like this. We sang a song and danced, some of our students also performed a song. Pastor Prakash prayed for the Christmas program. Pastor Anand shared from the Word of God. Another pastor, who is my friend, proclaimed and shared \u0026ldquo;What is the Gospel?\u0026rdquo; He challenged all of the people who heard the Gospel from their houses, windows, rooftops, etc. outside of our church to believe on Jesus and save their soul. He begged them to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savoir.\nPre-Christmas at Leper Colony\nWe had a blessed pre-Christmas celebration at the leper colony. Every Friday we gather at the Leper colony to do Bible Study. New people are also coming to our Bible Study. We celebrated Christmas together at the Leper colony among our fellow brothers and sisters. In our Bible study, we finished the book of 1st Samuel. Now we are studying 2nd Samuel chapter 5.\nThank you so much for supporting us, praying for us and raising us up!

Praise God! During these past two years, our CBI has produced many more faithful students. They learned the Word of God. They experienced how to work in a field of carnal places. They learned how to serve. They learned how to preach the Gospel. They learn how to plant Biblical churches and teach the true doctrine of the Bible.\nJesus\u0026rsquo; life and teachings in His Word and ministry also taught us how to be faithful. He commanded His disciples to go to the ends of the world and preach the Gospel of Christ.\nNow our ten students are already ready to go and to do that task for the Kingdom of God. Our ten students have graduated. The field is empty without servants of God. Pray that the harvest is ready because the workers are few. Our ten graduate students can go and preach the Gospel and proclaim the Word of God. We want to see many more Calvary Chapel churches planted in our nation. There are many more people that are unreached. Pray that God will protect them, guide them, and lead them through His spirit.\nDuring the end of the CBI semester, all of the teachers and our beloved students spent a beautiful time together (above). We went on a hike to a place called the white house that is near our CBI. It took only a 16km (10 mile) hike by foot to get there. We spent this time with the students.\nAnother way that God is doing a wonderful work is through technology and social media. I have been busy on social media. Through social media I teach, preach, and train others from the Word of God. Through the help of social media, five students have come to CBI and have already graduated.\nJesus said, \u0026ldquo;if you do not speak, then the rocks will speak on behalf of you\u0026rdquo;. I thought that I could not speak frequently like others could, because I cannot speak fluently. But God can use me like a rock who cannot speak. God uses me through social media to speak the true Word of God, and fight against cults and wrong teachings of Biblical doctrines.\nAs I mentioned above, five students came to CBI through social media. God is reaching this generation through social media where we can teach, preach, proclaim and train people in the Word of God. As I experienced while working for many years with this generation, we can use technology to help bring them into church as well as to our Bible school. Also, through social media a huge crowd can hear the Word of God. They can hear the Gospel of Christ. Then they will know what it means to get salvation and how they can be saved.\nEvery Sunday, my beautiful wife is also teaching a verse-by-verse Bible study at a women\u0026rsquo;s fellowship. She physically meets them, teaches them, and trains them. Before she taught them eschatology (about the end times, from Genesis to Revelation). Now she is teaching them through the book of Revelation.\nWe are doing Bible study at the leprosy colony (above). By the grace of God, everyone is growing day-by-day. By the grace of God, we are feeding God\u0026rsquo;s Word to them. We already finished 1st Samuel. Now we are teaching them from the book of 2nd Samuel.\nThank you for your support and prayers for us.\nThank you so much for supporting us, praying for us and raising us up.

It was through this daughter that my wife and her whole family came to Christ. She came to CBI to study, and now she has also publicly showed that she is following Jesus. Now, she is a first semester student in our school. Before coming to CBI, she was planning to go to Japan. We talked with her and asked her to join CBI, and now she has joined us.\nOur dear brother Harka already graduated from our Calvary Bible Institute. He is in the ministry now and is serving the Lord. He has had a difficult time, but he has been able to feed his family by working with making small furniture. He left his home area to do ministry in a new area. When Harka came to CBI, he knew the importance of study. After he graduated he joined a college in his area. He did a great job there and got good grades. Now, he also would like to get a bachelor\u0026rsquo;s degree someday, but is looking after his family and two small children. Pray for God\u0026rsquo;s will to be done in this.

God has given us the vision to raise many more young people up in Christ.\nWe are doing ministry according to that calling. One of the brothers God brought us to our Calvary Bible Institute is Harka. His life was very terrible when he was without Christ. He drank alcohol and his behavior was totally bad.\nHe always behaved like an addict. He was losing his life. He lost everything he earned from the work he did in another country. He was involved in bad things also. While his life was totally the worst and dark, he met my friend Pastor Bishnu. Pastor Bishnu witnessed to Harka. Then I met with Harka on Facebook, while he was at a Bible college in a neighboring country. He always watched my sermons on Facebook. He and I talked through facebook chat.\nThen Harka came to the Calvary Bible Institute where I was teaching. Harka had accepted Christ only three months before. When he first came to the Bible Institute, he always asked crazy question like, \u0026ldquo;Why do you all laugh?\u0026rdquo; \u0026ldquo;Why do women come here to study if God does not allow women to be pastors?\u0026rdquo; But within three months, he was totally converted to Christ.\nHe worked hard to study God\u0026rsquo;s Word. H e learned the English language too. He performed the best in every subject in Bible college. Through him, three sisters joined our Calvary Bible Institute. Now, they are going to graduate soon.\nHarka has now planted a Calvary Church in a new place in the western part of the country. While he was ministering, he lost his 10 year old daughter. She was a lovely child. All of the church family loved her so much. As a child, she always wondered about what is heaven like. She always told everyone in her village area, \u0026ldquo;When we die, we directly go to heaven.\u0026rdquo; She shared the Gospel at such a young age. During the time of her death, you and all of the believers prayed for Harka to stand strong in his faith in Christ.\nAfter Harka graduated, he returned to his village and finished high school. He shared with me about his hopes to get a bachelors degree in college, but now he is doing a job cutting wood to help provide for his family. He has a beautiful wife, a son and a daughter.\nHarka left his village and his father and mother to do ministry in new places. Earlier we went to the area (that Harka has now moved to) and shared the Gospel. During that time we found a home and contacted the house owner. Harka is now renting that house for his family and church. There are now 11 members in his church. Pray for Harka\u0026rsquo;s ministry to reach the unreached people.\nGod loves people who are lepers. So, we also love them, teach them, equip them and love to serve them. Pastor Anand and I, as well as our dear students, are doing Bible study with them every Friday. Our students are learning and practicing: \u0026ldquo;How to preach,\u0026rdquo; How to serve,\u0026quot; \u0026amp; \u0026ldquo;How to have fellowship.\u0026rdquo; By the grace of God, we are teaching the book of 1st Samuel every Friday. Altogether, 15 to 20 people attend our Bible study. Please pray for more unreached people around the leper colony to come to our Bible study. God is using me to train the believers who are lepers and to raise them up in God\u0026rsquo;s Word. I am doing ministry at the leper colony also. I also have a home church service every Saturday online, as well as a gathering fellowship with brothers and sisters.\nBy the grace of God, this semester I am teaching the Gospel of John. I love to teach my dear students. They also enjoying learning. In my home church, I am teaching Philippians. I love to teach and equip others through the book of Philippians. Paul taught the great lesson of how to have joy in Christ in every pitiful condition. We counted the word \u0026ldquo;Joy\u0026rdquo; 19 times. I t was great to rejoice in Christ. Paul rejoiced in Christ even when he was prison. He also prayed for and encouraged his fellow brothers and sisters. We also should do that in Christ\u0026ndash; raise up others and encourage them and uplift them in Christ during the hard times in ministry.\nMy beautiful wife is also helping me and helping with Calvary Bible Institute. She raises up young and old women in God\u0026rsquo;s Word. She is teaching Bible Study where many sisters and mothers from different churches gather online. She already finished teaching Genesis during the last year and a half, by going through every chapter and every verse . Now she is teaching Daniel every week on Sunday. Pray for her to be able to have a baby. Pray that if she does not have a baby, God will provide a job for her. Others do not like that she has free time only. They will gossip. So to stop gossip, she needs to have a nice job.\nThank you so much for supporting us, praying for us and uplifting us.

At any cost, I should preach the Word of the Living God. God told my heart to preach His Word and share His Gospel to the unreached houses of villagers. While praying, we made a plan to do this task. We prayed and made a plan to preach to the people in at least 50 unreached houses in the area where our graduated student had already started a new church.\nWe went there and saw a blessing come from our Almighty Lord. We spent 3 months there altogether. Ten people are coming to his newly planted church. We also spent time with our dear brother and his family.\nWe gathered together and made a plan to share the Gospel house to house in two teams. One team went to the north and another to the south. During a two day period, we shared with the people in at least 50 houses about Jesus Christ . We shared the Gospel with 85 adults and 4 children altogether . We faced a lot of difficulty sharing the Gospel house to house, because we could not find many people at home on the first day. We met some people in homes, some in fields, some on the roadside, some feeding their sheep, goats etc.\nW e experienced a lot. They need Christ in their lives. Where we shared, the people are many different races . I n one area the people allowed us to share the Gospel and listened it also, they were shaken their body while they were listening and said \u0026ldquo;Please leave here.\u0026rdquo; They could not hear it. They said that their God would be angry at them.\nIn another area, while we preached and shared the Gospel, one old man kept watching me. I thought why is this old man watching me over and over again? We went to him while he was sitting in the area for feeding animals. We asked him, have you heard about Jesus? He replied to us with his charming face and told us that he used to listen about Jesus on the radio. He got happy and said to us \u0026ldquo;Please give me the book.\u0026rdquo; We gave him the book (Bible).\nI asked him, \u0026ldquo;Can you read?\u0026rdquo; He said that he can. I invited him to come to the church plant. He told me that he cannot move well or walk to get to the church. I told Harka follow up with this old man and start a Bible study with him. I prayed with him. He became very happy and asked us to please come again and again.\nAnother day big amazing things happened. We shared the Gospel to those in each house. Among them was one house where we found the temple of a false god. The people trust that by worshiping this god their sicknesses will be removed. We shared the Gospel in that house to a false god devotee brother and his mom. We left a Gospel tract with them. After some time, while we were sharing the Gospel in each house, that brother started following us. We thought, \u0026ldquo;now we are in a trap\u0026rdquo; because this man is following us.\nWhile we went to 3 houses, the man continued to follow us and stopped his bike. He asked us \u0026ldquo;Can you tell me what you are sharing and giving tracts about? I want to listen to it.\u0026rdquo;\nWe became so fearful. We thought \u0026ldquo;This man is spying on us. He will take us to prison by claiming false things about us.\u0026rdquo; I gave let brother who is planting a church there share the Gospel with this man . He shared from the Bible from Genesis to Revelation for about 15 minutes.\nThe man told us, \u0026ldquo;Preach the knowledge, do not be afraid. I love to learn knowledge.\u0026rdquo; He asked us to share the Gospel to each person in his village. I also shared the Gospel of Christ with him through my testimony video. He accepted it and told me \u0026ldquo;I believe it.\u0026rdquo; He said that he will also plan to visit the church.\nThe man asked me two questions: 1.) He wondered how he could know if he will be able to go abroad? He has the desire to leave the country and earn money for a living. 2.) How can he be sure that he will not be shaken?\nWe just replied \u0026ldquo;Believe in Jesus and His amazing work.\u0026rdquo; Please pray for him. Please also pray that God will open the door to locked unreached people and houses. When we visited there, the total number of houses we found was 400. Pray for Harka to be able to do ministry there and to reach the unreached 400 homes.\nWe also shared in another place. For 3 days until night time, me and Mahima preached the Word of God in 32 houses altogether where there are many more people who are unsaved.\nNever in the history of that place has any person or church tried to preach open preaching in the crowded city of the Dang market place . For the first time, God gave me the grace to open preach there with help of one of our Bible college students. We had dances and singing. At the end, I proclaimed the Word of God, sharing the Gospel and challenging them to accept Jesus as their Savior.\nWe also visited an area where two of our students are studying in Bible school. That place was remote. Our students came and studied. We felt very blessed from them where no road, no electricity and no other facilities were.\nWe also celebrated Christmas Eve as well as Christmas day.\nThank you so much for sending us, praying for us and supporting us.\nGrace and Peace,\nPastor Rabi and Mahima\n","permalink":"https://archive.sgwm.com/shrestha/shrestha/2023/01/12/proclaiming-the-good-news/","summary":"\u003cp\u003e\u0026quot; \u003ca href=\"http://14.how/\"\u003eHow\u003c/a\u003e \u003cem\u003ethen shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAnd how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!\u0026quot;\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRomans 10:14-15 NKJV\u003c/p\u003e","title":"Proclaiming the Good News"},{"content":"How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!

By the mercy and grace of God, we were able to distributed 500 tracts and we personally met each person and told about our Savior. This was a blessed time for me. While we were sharing the Gospel, the police disturbed me, saying \u0026ldquo;Do not say anything about Jesus.\u0026rdquo; They turned to show me their temple and suggested that I leave.

The student\u0026rsquo;s father had heard and watched my videos beginning in 2017. He sent his son to our Bible College. Praise God! He is doing amazing work through my social site! Another student came from an area near Mt. Everest. We had been praying for 2 other students for a very long time. Years had passed. Now, God brought them in our Bible school! I mentioned about them before. You all prayed for them and sent some relief items for them during the lock-down. Before, they were living in caves and the forest and slowly they began living in huts. God has now brought these two students to our Bible college. Pray that God will use both of them in mighty ways in their respective villages.\nMy beautiful wife is also engaging in the mission field. She has been teaching Bible study from Genesis. Now, she is going to be finishing Genesis soon. She took about 6 months to finish this book. Every week on Sunday she is teaching from Viber. Other women and sisters are now requesting she teach from the book of Daniel and Revelations. Pray for her. She is ready to teach them and serve them. She needs a baby also. Pray for her to be able to have a baby in God\u0026rsquo;s time. We already asked the doctor. The doctor could not do anything. We also couldn\u0026rsquo;t afford treatment, because the cost of treatment is very high. We are leaving it in God\u0026rsquo;s hands.\nAnother important update is about our student who already graduated from Bible college. His name is Harka. He is now planting a church. Please pray for him, as he is planting a church very far from the capital city. This is a place where there are many people crowded together and there is not any churches that we have found. Especially pray for him, that God may provide him financial support to settle there. He has his own family including a wife and two children.

I worshipped Buddhist idols and meditated a lot. During my meditation days, I did not move for six months. In my country, Buddhists call this tapashtia. After this, I went to visit Lumbini, where Buddha was born. I meditated there for four hours in front of the crowds, during the Buddha celebration day. Then, I returned back home and continued meditating for 17-26 hours; without moving my body, resting, or even drinking water. Many people came to see me and were cured from illnesses.\nSuddenly, I again became ill after worshiping the Buddha idols. After months of meditation, I was again admitted in the hospital. This time, the doctor said, \u0026ldquo;You will not be able to live any longer.\u0026rdquo; There was something wrong in my brain that could not be cured. I was shocked. I thought my life was truly ending. That night, I cried a lot. With tears falling from my eyes, I said, \u0026ldquo;I will never worship you idols again! When people come to me, I can cure them, but why can I not cure myself?\u0026rdquo;\nRescued by Love I then had a conversation with my mother who had gone to church and accepted Christ. It was my last hope left to save my life. Finally, I, myself, also decided to go to church. When I entered the church, I began listening about Jesus. All of the people started praying for me. Still, I did not believe in Jesus Christ. After a few hours passed, almost three hours of prayer, I accepted Jesus in my heart and believed that Jesus Christ is God. I decided to follow His ways. Now, I had lots of love, salvation and a new life from Jesus! My illness was completely healed! I give thanks to Jesus Christ!\nI wanted to know more - \u0026ldquo;Who is Jesus?\u0026rdquo; While reading the Bible a lot, I found that Jesus is the real Savior from sin who will take me to Heaven. I started going regularly to a church. However, my heart was not settled. I wanted to serve God. He gave me the opportunity to go to Calvary Chapel Bible College. There, I learned God\u0026rsquo;s Word. God then gave me a burden to reach people all over the world with the Gospel and Biblical teaching. So, I started a small Bible study in my village, which is now a Calvary Chapel Church. By God\u0026rsquo;s grace, I am serving Him, and have shared the Gospel in other districts of my country and 2 other countries.\nGod has given me a new vision, to reach all 77 districts, 7 provinces and 14 zones in my country, as a missionary pastor. My vision is to teach them all, verse by verse, from the living WORD OF GOD. Now, God has provided me with a wonderful wife. She is studying at the Calvary Chapel Bible College where I also teach.\nFor reading and listening to my real-life testimony, God bless you all abundantly, always and forever, in the name of Jesus Christ.\nPastor Rabi\n","permalink":"https://archive.sgwm.com/shrestha/shrestha/rabi-and-mahimas-story/","summary":"\u003cfigure\u003e\n    \u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" src=\"/shrestha/wp-content/uploads/sites/100/2019/11/Rabi-photo-cropped-nepal-300x263.jpg\"/\u003e \n\u003c/figure\u003e\n\n\u003ch4 id=\"unsettled\"\u003eUnsettled\u003c/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI am Rabi from South Asia.
