OUT - REACH TREKKING 2014, OCTOBER !!!!

I was so thankful to GOD for our team. We were together from three nations for one task. 

What a Joy to touch people through a blessed Gospel of Jesus Christ. I got an opportunity to visit one of my student’s villages called BITRI, KHANNA and some other villages. I had couple of my students from H.B.S. and one “ANGRAGE” with us.

It took us whole day to reach one of our student YABAS’s village. It was dark. I had bought a headlight from Mussoorie, when I took it out to use it, it did not have battery. It was so stupid. I bought new Headlight torch but without battery in it. But I had, big another torch that I could use it as a group. When we reached, we were already tired through whole day travelling. As we reached there, I found three another believes were waiting for us to receive us and to have fellowship in Yabas’s house. It was so good to meet one person, who told me he knows one of my friend from Mussoorie who was Doctor from States at Landour Cantt Hospital. He asked me do you know Brent? I said yes, I do, Then I asked him, Jagdis, How do you know him? He said I met him, on trekking.

these people group are knows as GUJJARS, normally they have animals. They do not have their own place, they wonder with their animals and families from one place to another place. They exchange what they need with Milk.

One of our students, comes from this villege knows as BITRI. and this is his house. 

Yabas's nephew, wife who is excepting another baby, Mother and his father and Yabas along with his daughter Asha.

Since I was leading the team, I asked our team, lets thank God. He brought us safely thus far. We crossed many hills and many valleys. We could have got in to an accident, any time, in any curve and we could have found ourselves dead. So, we all together blast out our thankful heart with loud voices of thanks giving and praise. We prayed for the family and for BITRI village almost for two hours. Till that time food was ready, so we eat food with great hospitality and crashed ourselves on bed.

Next day we got up 6 am then prayed for two hours. We had breakfast peanut butter and chapatti. Then we went to meet villagers. People specially children used to come and stare at us. They used to look at us as if we have come from another planet. They were very much interested to about my ANGRAGE friend. They used to asked me, where is he from? I used to smile and used to answer them oh !!! He is from MOON !!! then no no.. He is from Mussoorie. They used to laugh.

We could distributes literature and talk with different people in BITRI village. But I happen to see one old man looking at us from his house. I told him, what a palace you have, to live in. I was telling him to open up conversation that we could talk and build relationship. As we went and started to talk, he opened up himself and share his family condition. It was really heart breaking to know his story. His wife died, he has one son whose wife has left and gone and he has one daughter who is paralyzed. She can’t do anything by herself. She wants to work and become independent like other people. We asked him to call his daughter that we could pray for her. She comes with great exceptions and hope, I was excited to see GOD’s glory. My students went ahead and prayed for her… and my ANGRAGE friend too. I was waiting for GOD to speak to me. As they were praying for her, she was weeping. I was asking GOD please speak to me…. But HE did not speak to me at all. I wept bitterly as she was weeping. I was sad, God did not heel her. I was wondering, if GOD would have healed her, whole village would have seen GOD’s glory and worshiped him. But I did not have any answer, why he did not heel her? I put OIL in her palm and prayed still nothing happened. with disapointed and shore in a heart, i told her you pray to Yeshu as you know Him. I had a solar story telling radio provided by another ANGRAGE friend of mine “KUSH RAHO, WALA”. I could hand one to her since she did not know, how to read.

Praying for "Endarani", who is paralized. Sharing good news to the villagers in BITRI.

We came back to YABAS’S house had MEGGI as lunch then went ahead to KHANNA village. We reached around 6 pm in the evening to the KHANNA village. We were hosted by one believer family. We worshiped and prayed as usual we planned. Two hours we worshiped and prayed in the evening and in the morning too. So we had wonderful fellowship and meeting time with GOD. We enjoyed worshiping and praying to living GOD in that dark village. Next day morning we left KHANNA village. After walking few hours we got a local JEEP till a place where we have parked our VICKLE.

Then we went to a village. One very simple Nepali pasturing a Church with few Nepali families. It was such a great blessing for me to see him, serving God in the foreign land, with all difficulties and in his poverty. Once again GOD reminded me. This is the harvest time for Nepali people. In the past, how people prayed and shown seed for centuries for Nepal and Nepali people group around the globe. Now, Nepali Churches are growing like mushroom everywhere, even in a small village at the top of these mountains on UTTRAKHAND.

He is Nepali, He is looking after someone else apple garden, but at the same time he is Pasturing Nepali Church. 

we reached back to Porula at Aman’s place in the evening and had dinner then prayed for a while then slept. We got up next morning then we drove back to Mussoorie. On the way, my ANGRAGE friend, banged his car on the wall of the mountain. He was reversing his car, I was looking behind through window. I was about to say to him, you are a good driver.  Sound comes BANG BANG, next to my head. WOOOOO !!! WATCH YOUR HEAD BOY !!! I found scrubs of mud were on my lab from the mountain sides. We stopped our car and saw… Man, I was sad seeing it. I love cars. When it gets dents and scratches on it… I feel often I got it in my heart. I get kind of lemon feelings in my heart. But I remember one phrase from my professor at SABC “things does not matter but people they do”.

We reached around 1 pm to Mussoorie. I could seat quiet and reflect about my trip to these village. I felt in my heart. It was wonderful trip, though there were lots of disputed and difficulties. GOD used us to accomplish His purpose through this trip. I would love to go on my BIKE with my guitar on to these mountains. I know, JESUS has picked me to impact life and values them who they are and what GOD can make them if they will get opportunity and chance. 

We were talking about the trekking and reflecting about the trip. We could encourage one another.
