GLOBAL DAY OF PRAYER FOR NEPAL 2007

Thank You For Praying For Nepal

Thousands of Christians around the world prayed for the Himalayan Kingdom of Nepal in one voice for permanent peace, reconciliation and healing of the nation on the Global Day of Prayer for Nepal, 14^th and 15^th April 2007. In Nepal, Christians not only prayed individually in their churches and homes but they also organized various joint prayer programs in various churches across the country. In Kathmandu valley, at least 11 joint prayer programs were organized and many Nepali Christians were vibrantly praying for their nation.

  A THANK YOU NOTE

Nepali Christian community extends sincere thanks and gratitude to all the individual Christian brothers and sisters, churches, prayer groups and organizations around the world for praying for the Himalayan Kingdom of Nepal on the Global Day of Prayer for Nepal, 14^th and 15^th April 2007 for permanent peace, reconciliation and healing of the nation. Our special thanks go to all those who coordinated various joint prayer programs in their local areas and churches. In Kathmandu valley, the following local churches and organizations deserve our big thank you for hosting inter-church joint prayer gatherings for the nation in their churches:

 Ashish Church, ATEN, Bethsalom Church, Bhaktapur Church, Koinonia Patan Church, Lalitpur Baptist Church, Lord’s Assembly, Nawajiwan Church, Nepali Ishai Church, Shalom Church.

 Many vibrant prayer warriors gathered in various locations and groups were fervently praying and crying to the Lord for the nation. We deeply appreciate and thank Dr. (Rev.) Ramesh Khatri, Director, ATEN, the Youth Leader Mr. Jhagendra Rai and Women Christian leaders Sarita Thapa and Mrs. Shanti Subba for coordinating the Joint Prayer gatherings of the valley church leaders, youth and women respectively. A big thank you to all those individuals, organizations and churches who supported us in prayer and financially to organize the Global Day of Prayer for Nepal.

We are committed and dedicated to the country of Nepal and the Nepali Church, therefore, it is our pleasure to take such an initiative and play as a facilitator role to organize such an important annual event. We continue to solicit usual cooperation in organizing a Global Day of Prayer for Nepal in future.  

Bible says, "Righteousness exalts a nation" (Proverbs14:34). We believe that the Lord has given a common responsibility to His Church (both local and global church) to pray for each respective country wherever they reside and the world. We would think that by organizing a Global Day of Prayer for Nepal annually it also contributes to the Christian spiritual unity especially among Nepali churches. Moreover, it helps to connect Nepali Diasporas back to their mother-land and it also contributes to make this tiny and beautiful country known to the world. As the churches of Nepal were praying and singing, asking God to start a new work in the country, we also would like to think that the Lord is opening another new gate of hope to start his new agenda and plan for the country. Amen!
