NO ONE ELSE LIKE JESUS CHRIST!
Greetings, Love and blessings to you in the mighty name Jesus Christ!
We thank you for your continued prayers that bear fruits for His glory.
SUNDAY SERVICE AT BUNGOMA MAIN CHURCH:
Bungoma service was so awesome and many were blessed as Brother Bushebi pumped the Gospel in to their lives. We saw 5 new Souls that joined the flock and 2 that surrendered their lives to the Lord. The Lord Jesus delivered and healed 7 brethren who confessed of being tormented by different spirits. We exalt His name forever! The work here is so great and needs more Laborers......

We had over 21 new Souls that surrendered their lives to the Lord in door to door campaign for Souls for Christ in October .
MINISTRY VAN PRAYER ITEM:
We thank God for your continued prayers for the Ministry Van repair. We thank God for your continued prayers and love.
SISTER FELISTUS STROKE PRAYER!
Sister Felistus was struck by a stroke on her right hand side of the brain and rushed to Lugulu Mission Hospital 40 miles from here. She was in a Coma for 2 days and started responding well to medication. Today being the 6th day in Hospital, her condition suddenly changed yesterday, Sunday and seems worsening. Sister Felistus is the wife of Brother Davis Wanyonyi, one of the Elders in Bungoma church. We are in prayer that the Lord touches her to heal and restore her health and life. Please, pray for Sister Felistus and the ability to cater for hospital bills that presumably might be heavy.
KENYA'S PRAYER:
Our country seem to be going through tougher times amidst the Lord's great future hope. We believe the Lord is in control and are praying that the groups that try to intrude and cause violence continue to be defeated as they are. We urge Saints for prayers on continued peace and security in Kenya.
ORPHANS AND NEEDY:
Many are flocking in to our home persuading us to take the desperate Orphans when we are not able to accommodate in our small Orphanage Home. The need seem to be overwhelming but we know the Lord has a million ways to cater for them, we only need one!
BUILDING CLASSES PRAYER:Prayers continue towards Building 2 Class rooms and an Administration room for the Diploma Course of the Bible. The number of students seem to exceed the little wooden structure we currently use. Your prayer is the Aroma the Lord wants..
PRAYERS: Daily prayer sessions with weekly fasting program continue in respective churches as the Lord blesses the Ministry. Our greatest job is to PRAY UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS. Please, share your prayer items, we will pray with you!!!
SERMON AT BUNGOMA MAIN CHURCH:REMEMBER THE LORD YOUR GOD, ALL BY HIS HAND - DEUT 8:18
Duet 8:17"Otherwise, you may say in your heart, 'My power and the strength of my hand made me this wealth.' 18"But you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who is giving you power to make wealth, that He may confirm His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day. 19"It shall come about if you ever forget the LORD your God and go after other gods and serve them and worship them, I testify against you today that you will surely perish.
Psalm 44:3
It was not by their sword that they won the land, nor did their arm bring them victory; it was your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, for you loved them.
Proverbs 10:22
The blessing of the LORD brings wealth, without painful toil for it.
Ecclesiastes 9:11
I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all.
Psalm 144:1 Blessed be the LORD, my rock, Who trains my hands for war, And my fingers for battle; 2My loving kindness and my fortress, My stronghold and my deliverer, My shield and He in whom I take refuge, Who subdues my people under me.…
Deuteronomy 26:10
and now I bring the first-fruits of the soil that you, LORD, have given me." Place the basket before the LORD your God and bow down before him.

Dear James
Greeting from Nepal!
With this email I have attached my september month's involvement in the trainings. Please find the attached file.
Our campuses will open from coming Sunday. Please pray that we can reach students of MM campus. We are planning to do evangelical work in this campus till January.
Thank you so much for your help and prayer.
Sincerely yours in Christ

In the Month of September I spent time in training the Church planters of CCC. This training was about follow up for new believers. We had training in Ghorahi and Nepalgunj city. In Ghorahi we had 39 Church planters. After Dang we had conducted in Nepalgunj city where 9 Church planters were attended from Karnali area, Himalaya area of west Nepal.
After finishing the training I spent time with 8 Church planters of Jajarkot and Dailekh district area for the evaluation of their work for CCC. In next page I am including some of the excitement of their work.
Participants in Nepalgunj city from Karnali area, Nepal 
Pastor Buddi Sunar’s Church growth: Pastor Buddi is seeing people in his Church because of healing and caring the sick people. Being from scheduled caste, he has many persecution too
such as people tease him like what can lower caste people can do, not allowing enter in the home etc. He cares many patients taking
them in hospital.
Last month one sick woman came in his
Church. Her name is Nainsara Pun and was
sick since six months. Her husband is still not
found since he went in India for the labor
work. She is poor and was not able to afford
expenses coming to nearby city. But she vis-
ited local health posts and a district hospital
but no medicine worked. She also visited
witchdoctors and different witchdoctor
mentioned different problem. Some said it is
because of witchcraft, some said it is a god
and some said it is because of local gods etc.
Being tired from the problem finally after six
month she came to Church and Buddi began to pray for her and teach her from the word of God. One week later she got healed completely. Then she visited doctor in a mission hospital but doctor said there is nothing problem. Now her village people amazed seeing this healing. 
In last month Buddi had baptized 35 people here are some pictures of Baptism 
This a group started by Pastor Man sing Mahar in a village. Here one family believed be- cause of the healing then seeing that event other also joined in the Bible study group.
This is a fellowship group of Dilli shahi. Dilli have joined CPMI last year and this year he is able to have Church with 17 members. In the adjoining picture a brother is leading in the Church fellowship.
Report from Samuel’s Church:
Haste Chandara’s first wife had died when he was 40 years old and then he married with another girl of about 16 years. After marriage they had one girl but she died and after that they did not have children for long time. They were expecting children but they did not have till 10 years later. Then they came to contact with Samuel and they believed Jesus and their expectation was to have children. Church members had conducted fasting
prayer for them and after prayer and fasting she conceived and gave birth a son. It was great witness to others because in the whole village development area those who conceived gave birth to daughter and only this woman had son. So people began to say that really Christian’s prayers are heard. By this time this man is about 65 years old and the woman is only about 30 years old. This area is still have problem in early marriage.
In picture we can see that the baby and mother is lacking nutrition. Mainly this area have nu- trition problem and children are suffering from malnutrition.

Middle East prayer camp update
Dear prayer partners,
Thank you so much for remembering us in your prayers and thinking of us during the King's Kids Middle East prayer and reconciliation camp.
We have all returned home, each one touched by the Lord's love and by at least one friendship that opened our eyes to new revelations.
Some words that the intercession team leader had received in prayer before the camp were: Lift up the banner of Jesus, I will betrother you to myself (Hosea 2), a time of celebration and more...
115 participants from all around the Middle East as well as some internationals.
Worship in Arabic, English and Hebrew.
Daily fresh bread, phsically (each morning from a different nation) and spiritually (quiet times and Bible studies), wonderful prayer times (creative prayer stations for each nation and for a personal time with the Lord), sports, hike, team building games, small groups (families and action groups), dance, talent show, great food and of course also work duties :)
Some of the testimonies:
- A young Egyptian girl "I am healed from 4 months of headaches, I felt the healing after a group of the youth and kids prayed for me"
- A young Israeli Jew shared: "I always had a great fear of Arabs, and was sure that I will find my death on the hand of an Arab someday, suddenly while praying I saw a picture of myself as a preacher moving from one muslim city to the other sharing the gospel of Jesus..."
- I made friends from nations I never thought I would make friends from
- I will never hate any Israeli In my life because of what I've seen in them I will never forget that love. Y. Lebanon
- The thing I I enjoyed the most in this camp was to be in the company of my "enemy".
- God told me he has a plan for me, it was to work with kids in the war. A. (10 year old) - Jordan
- God healed my heart toward the Israeli brothers and sisters. G. Lebanon
- I use to talk to God a lot but hear very little. In this camp, we were both talking a lot. J. Lebanon
- It was a challenge for me to break the hatred for other nations and to receive them with a big heart , but I succeeded by breaking Satan's plan and rejecting the hatred from me. G. Israel
- I have always known God is there but at this camp I truly felt Him.
We spent Yom Kipur (Day of attonement) praying for the region of Israel and Palestine, all the participants from all the nations joined in prayer for the salvation of the people of these nations... We felt an amazing blessing to be doing that joined together by Christ's love.
On the last day, each of the kids and youth as well as the adults, received a ring and was encouraged to go to someone from an "enemy" nation and to make a covenant, like Jonathan and David's covenant, to promise to be the son of our heavenly father's love and not the son of our earthly fathers' or forefathers' hatered, choosing to "see" that person's face in front of our eyes every time we are tempted to hate that nation he represents and to CHOOSE to love by the power of Christ in us...
Hallelujah... the Lord is good...
Thank you Jesus...
Thank you dear friends for standing with us in prayers, please continue to bring these covenants and relationships before the Lord so we may continue to each bring Him glory and be part of the new generation that learns to put Him first, above all other identity...
with love in Christ,
Alon and Rajaa'
for the staff of King's Kids Israel

SERMON AT KIBACHENJE GBF CHURCH: A CALL TO BUILD AND BEAUTIFY THE HOUSE OF THE LORD - HAGGAI 1:1-14
2 This is what the Lord Almighty says: “These people say, ‘The time has not yet come to rebuild the Lord’s house.’”
3 Then the word of the Lord came through the prophet Haggai: 4 “Is it a time for you yourselves to be living in your paneled houses, while this house remains a ruin?” 5 Now this is what the Lord Almighty says: “Give careful thought to your ways. 6 You have planted much, but harvested little. You eat, but never have enough. You drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothes, but are not warm. You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it.”
7 This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Give careful thought to your ways. 8 Go up into the mountains and bring down timber and build my house, so that I may take pleasure in it and be honored,” says the Lord. 9 “You expected much, but see, it turned out to be little. What you brought home, I blew away. Why?” declares the Lord Almighty. “Because of my house, which remains a ruin, while each of you is busy with your own house. 10 Therefore, because of you the heavens have withheld their dew and the earth its crops. 11 I called for a drought on the fields and the mountains, on the grain, the new wine, the olive oil and everything else the ground produces, on people and livestock, and on all the labor of your hands.”
12 Then Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, Joshua son of Jozadak, the high priest, and the whole remnant of the people obeyed the voice of the Lord their God and the message of the prophet Haggai, because the Lord their God had sent him. And the people feared the Lord.
13 Then Haggai, the Lord’s messenger, gave this message of the Lord to the people: “I am with you,” declares the Lord. 14 So the Lord stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua son of Jozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of the whole remnant of the people. They came and began to work on the house of the Lord Almighty, their God,

I will not leave you nor forsake you. 6 Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. 7 Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go.
8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. 9 Have I not commanded you?

SERMON AT BUNGOMA GBF CHURCH: HONOR AND VOWS IN GOD'S PRESENCE.... Eccle 5:1-7
Fear God, Keep Your Vows
1 Walk prudently when you go to the house of God; and draw near to hear rather than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they do evil.
2 Do not be rash with your mouth, And let not your heart utter anything hastily before God. For God is in heaven, and you on earth; Therefore let your words be few. 3 For a dream comes through much activity, And a fool’s voice is known by his many words.
4 When you make a vow to God, do not delay to pay it; For He has no pleasure in fools. Pay what you have vowed—
5 Better not to vow than to vow and not pay.
6 Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin, nor say before the messenger of God that it was an error. Why should God be angry at your excuse[a] and destroy the work of your hands? 7 For in the multitude of dreams and many words there is also vanity. But fear God.

We warm Greetings from our Grace Church Family of Nepal in the Name of Savior Lord Jesus Christ!
How are you? We are praying for you and for your family. We pray and hope that you are well. Praise the Lord Jesus Christ! It is a great privilege to share our activities of Grace Church’s to you as information and prayer items. We are serving the Lord leading us by the Holy Spirit. We always highly praise God that He is with us continuing working with us. By the Grace of God, we are serving the Lord continually from the bottom of our hearts to expand the Kingdom of God in Nepal through our Grace Church Ministries in different villages and different parts of Nepal. We are really enjoying serving the Lord from our hearts. We always thank God for His works with us.
I am still traveling to different places to meet the pastors and leaders in Nepal in west and east and south and north areas before the rainy season starting. It is good time to visit them in different places. Later there will rain a lot everywhere there will be landslides, floods etc. Also they will be busy to plant paddy in their fields. God has put a great vision and burden in my heart to plant churches, in different places and to teach them the Word of God and encourage them grow in the Lord Jesus. So, I make plan to visit before the rainy season. The churches are growing day by day in different places in Nepal. We can sense that as Jesus said in the Bible “the harvest are plenty of but labours are a few" in Nepal
It is very hot to travel nowadays in Nepal. I have faced a lot of difficulties to go there in different places like this. We can see the many diseases, like cholera, typhoid, and malaria in different places in Nepal. Because of hot in Nepal. There is no rain yet in Nepal so hot is growing and growing day by day. The diseases are spreading different places in Nepal nowadays. First of all I went with friends to different districts and different churches like to Rautahat at Pastor Mangal Rai's churches Pastor Tul Bahadur Rai, Pastor Prem Rais and Ps. Bijaya Rai's Churches, Bara Pastor Kunju Lama, Parsa Pastor Chaite Rai, Pastor Daniel Rai's churches, Makawanpur Pastor Shyam Rai, and Chitwan District’s Ps. Krishna Rai, Ps. Nir Bahadur Rai, Ps. Ashman Gurung’s Churches. I was there for 9 days, then I came back to Kathmandu, after some days later I went to west of Nepal to Surkhet’s Pastor Prem Bayalkoti, Ps. Shiwaraj Pariyar, Lal Bdr. Bayalkoti Churches, Also, I have visited to Brother Binod Gurung, and Ps. Vaskar Adhikari’s churches in Nepalgunja and Bardiya districts and in Pokhara with Ps. Kar Lama’s church and Ps. Buddhiman Rai’s churches for 8 days, then I came back again to Kathmandu. In my trips, wherever I visited I had taught to those churches leaders and pastors with the topic of "Sound of Freedom, 2014" from Bible. Trying to teach them we are not in bandages or captives in sins and not any worldly things in this world in Christ. By the Grace of God we are freedom spiritually in the Lord, and living under the New Covenant in Christ. We are God's Children and not from the world, we are from the God. God is our Father (Abba). Wherever we went we have taught same teachings to those churches congregations in these trips. This year God has given us to learn these matters. You may see the some photos of different churches with the banner. It is very encouraging visitation among them.
I have felt that we have to teach many bible teachings to let them to grow in Christ. We know that there a lot of lack of Biblical Teachings in Nepal. People are very ignoring with knowledge of God. Also most of people in the churches are not educated people or unable to read and write the Bible. Most of village people they are unable to read and write the word of God. But they listen the word of God from the pastors and leaders and believe in the Lord Jesus as Bible said, the faith comes by the listening the word of God.
I came to know that all our village churches are good and growing in those places. God has been drawing the people in Him. I can see them; they are active in preaching the Gospel of God to the unreached people of Nepal
Tribes’ people are suffering from hunger:-
Pastor Prem Bayalkoti, and Vaskar Adhikari and Pastor Ashman Gurung are preaching the Gospel of God among the tribe people among the Badi, Tharu, Raute, Kusunda and Chepang people of the west of Nepal. There are not developed tribes in Nepal who live in hills, jungle and caves etc. They do not have proper houses to live in and also do not do farming.
Pastor Min Bahadur Chepang(Praja) is from one of tribe Pastor in Chitwan district. He said that there are many villages on hills of Chitwan where there are hundreds of Chepang people families, who are living there. They do have much land and also they do not have skills for farming; also the lands whatever they have are very dry and unable to plant crops/maize etc. they did not used to farm since their ancestors for food but they used to look for yams and other fruits in the jungle of hills. So they do not have lands for cultivation. Government has closed the cut the jungle and makes lands for in Nepal. They could not make land for farming. According to Pastor Min Bdr. Praja there are lacks of foods among the Praja people in the Chitwan hills area. They look for wild yams (kind roots) for food but those yams also not found in those hills.
Pastor Min Bahadur and Asman Gurung said that God is working those tribe but they are suffering from hungry. God may provide their food. These tribe people need some helps for food. Pastor Ashman Gurung who is going to evangelizing among these people said that these tribe people need physical foods as well as Spiritual food. If anyone provide small helps for this would be big helps for them to survive in this situation.
Pastor Nir Bahadur Rai of Chitwan district said that there are many tribes who are not developed. We have to do evangelizing practical loves of God.
Pastor Prem Bayalkoti and Vaskar Adhikari said that the Tharu and Badi tribes are coming to Christ but need to help some areas. Badi people are so poor and needy people they do the prostitution for surviving lives. Their main occupations are to make Nepali drums and sing and dance to beg money for family since their ancestors. But nowadays, the people do not buy much drums and do not invite them to sing and dances so, their income is not more. So they are suffering for surviving now. So, Pastor Prem and Vaskar are trying to draw them in Christ
Some Pastors need some supports:- There are many poorest pastors in Nepal who are struggling for surviving but they are preaching the Gospel of god and serving the Lord. So, we have to do some practical encouragements to them. They have hearts to preach the Gospel and serve the Lord and also they are doing what they could do in the Lord. We have to supports them. Please pray for them
Orphans Home:- We have 8 orphans in our home here in Kathmandu. They are going to school regularly and studying happily now. We have been care taking them as our own children. Our aim is to draw them in Christ and make disciples and provide good educations and send them to preach Gospel in Nepal. We have found hundreds of orphan in Nepal who are suffering as slaves in rich men’ houses for surviving their lives. We would like to bring them in shelter and for educations for their good life in the future. If anyone interested to sponsor they could sponsor in any amount with love of Christ. Please pray for needs of orphans of Nepal.
Blind Family:- There is a blind family in Rautahat district. His name is Shambu Chudhari with blind wife and small daughter. This family is Christian and attends in Pastor Mangal Rai Church. They live in small hut that hut they use to beg for food door to door. Now they come to church and church provide a little help but not sufficient. Their hut is going to fell down because of the wooden things are rotten and licking in rainy season. They got little help Rs. 1000 rupees blind allowance from government but not enough. Main thing is that his hut may fell down any time so, he asked me for help. I do not know how to help him? I do not have such big resource. Please pray for this family.
Very old man named Raj Kumar Khadki:- There is one old men in our Grace Church, Kathmandu. He could not walk properly and seem handicapped man and sick from asthma disease also. He has a daughter named Laxmi Khadgi and a granddaughter. He had some property when he was youth, but his relative cheated him badly. He lost his all property means his entire father’s land and house was named in his relative brothers. He went to court for right but court also very corrupted so; he did not win in his court. Now he is helpless. His only a daughter got marriage with other local man before came to know the lord Jesus. Her husband forced her to reject father and leave him as street beggar and leave the husband. But she did not agree to leave father. So, she left husband and stay out and care taking father and daughter now. She came to know the Lord in our church. Her husband comes and gives some trouble to her and asked money from her. She works as handicraft as daily wage but sometimes she does not have income. I am looking for old home for him but not found where to go and whom to ask for this? Please pray for this family.
