MASSIVE EARTHQUAKE IN NEPAL – URGENT NEED

A 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck an area of central Nepal between Kathmandu and the city of Pokhara early on Saturday 25th of April. According to international news, over 5,000 people are confirmed dead but the death toll continues to rise everyday.

God led us to the nation of Nepal in 2009 with a vision to share God’s love and His care for the people of Nepal. We have started 3 churches and a children’s home. The work has grown so far. It is sad to hear about the massive earthquake that hit Nepal Saturday. It brought lots of damage. Many buildings and homes were destroyed. Hundreds of people are homeless and sleeping in the streets in cardboard boxes, without proper food and clean water. We praise God, our children’s home nearby Kathmandu was not seriously damaged: the compound wall and the toilets collapsed. The children and the staff are safe.

We started to help and provide food, clean water and blankets to the victims. Our children’s home staff and EWM Pastors are on the site, helping and rescuing people who are trapped under collapsed buildings. We will continue to keep you posted on any future developments through our website: www.eternalwordministries.org

We need your urgent prayers and financial support. Please make your gift payable to Eternal Word Ministries and send it to EWM bank account in your country. You can also make a donation through Paypal.

A 7.8 magnitude earthquake hits Nepal!

Praise God, our children’s home nearby Kathmandu was not seriously damaged: the compound wall and the toilets building have collapsed. The children and the staff are safe.

This all show that we are living in the end time. Jesus is coming very soon. We have to speed up the work of God more than ever before, to show God’s love and His care for the people of the world. For this reason, Jesus came and paid a great price by sharing His precious blood on the cross of Calvary. Through His death and resurrection, we have eternal life.

Remembering the death of Jesus Christ on the cross…

We do not need to drag a lamb behind us to the altar. We now rely upon the Lamb of God who offered Himself as the supreme sacrifice for our transgression. His blood washed away our sin. What a grace! How wonderful is our redemption! His blood has cleansed us, His life has regenerated us. We are one with Him. We have peace with God. Praise be to His Holy Name!

“But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation.” Ephesians 2:13-14
