Nepali Indian Encounter Recap

This is a recap of the encounter that was held for the Nepali Indian pastors and their wives in Chattanooga last weekend. The recap was written by Pastor John who oversees the churches throughout the U.S. of the Nepali Indians.

The Lord has done this and it is marvelous in our eyes (Mark 12:11 NIV)

We have no words to describe what we experienced last week end. About eighty Nepali pastors and leaders from across the US were there for 2 days. It was an amazing deliverance and empowerment ministry. The vision impartation was powerful. Many were also filled with the power of God. Krissna from TX is so excited that she received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Many testified to the inner healing and deliverance they received. Their faces were beaming with joy. On Friday night for the closing session the sanctuary became a dancing floor. People were rejoicing and dancing. (Men and women were in separate auditoriums so that they will have more freedom to express themselves). Kamal - a youth leader form Atlanta- told me , "I could never dance. Moving steps rhythmically was impossible for me. But Friday night - I think it was because of the special anointing in that place - I was dancing crazy and I was dancing pretty well. Our worship leader Suresh and others also shared the same experience." Poonam a young lady from Atlanta commented, “Uncle it was awesome. I am so blessed”. Sarita Tamag told me, “ The ladies felt kind of sorry for their husband thinking that the men missed the powerful ministry they were receiving on the ladies side. But when they came together for lunch they found out that the men were even more exited and blessed. And it was kind of funny. ”.

I get emails and phone calls from pastors and leaders saying how richly the Lord blessed them and how thankful they are to the Lord and the people the Lord used to minister. We had 350 Nepali believers in the sanctuary for the celebration session on Saturday. It was a historic event. The vision came forth powerfully with clarity. I was crying out, “Lord help me to save these souls heading towards eternal hell.” When I looked around I could see all most everyone in the auditorium with both hands lifted up toward heaven with tears running down their cheeks crying out the same prayer. It was a powerful move of the Spirit. I got the affirmation in my spirit that the sincere cry of the people are well received in the heaven and the answer is on the way. Yes all the 65,000 are going hear and many are going to believe and many many Churches are going to be established to meet the needs of this people group. This people group is going to be the most blessed people group to come to the US as refugees.

Pastors Terry and Kaye Harris, Rick and Beverly Zachary , other pastors and all the ministry team members were such an anointed group of people whom the Lord used powerfully to minister to the needs of the people. Their Christ likeness -humility, servant hood, passion, hospitality, compassion and love – were all well noticed and is being talked about in the Nepali community. One Pastor from TX told me,” I had tears in my eyes when I saw the team members from the Crossing Church cleaning the mess we left behind as we rushed to the session from the dining hall.” What a powerful witnessing!

We are so grateful. We thank them all from the bottom of hearts for everything! We thank all the people who provided help in many ways. We know many people across the nation prayed – many set apart time to fast and pray- for the conference. May God richly bless them and reward them for everything they did.
We left Chattanooga with the conviction that this is just the beginning of what the Lord is about to do. We are all together in this. Please continue to pray for this ministry Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, be glory honor and praise !

With blessings,
