Last Day of the Kawasoti Conference

Howdy to all of our blog readers! Sorry it has been a few days since our last update, but we have not had any access to the internet recently. The last day of the Kawasoti conference was great and without futher delay, here goes!

The theme for the third day was prayer and how important prayer is in our relationship with God. In the morning we sang songs and worshiped with the believers at the church and then around 9 am we began the day. Alana did a great job talking about prayer and how we cannot be a servant for God without God being in the center of everything. She explained that it is important that our hearts be pure when we come before the Father.

We set up eight different prayer stations around the church and Alana explained to what each station represented. The first station was in the church and we prayed for God to prepare our hearts. At station two we had a mirror set up so that as the people were praying they could examine themselves and make sure that they were in the right place before God. The third station was about letting go of any burden that we were holding onto and giving it to God. Each person held a rock as they prayed and then released it into water when they were finished praying. The fourth station had a cross set up and they could write down the name of someone that they could pray for and then tape it to the cross. The next three stations were stations that they could pray in the holy of holies, for Nepal, and for the persecuted church.

It was so powerful to watch as the people prayed and poured their heart out to God. Some were crying as they came before the Lord in prayer. The final station was the washing of the feet. Each person that came to the conference came one by one to the final station and the team would wash their feet, just as Jesus did for the disciples. They could not believe that we would wash their feet because many hindus in the area believe that you should not touch someone elses feet because of the filth. As we washed their feet we prayed for them that God would bless each person and use them as his servants. I think that everyone came away from that experience refreshed and with a changed heart.

As the conference drew to a close we had the five groups present their dramas that they had been working on for three days. We could not understand what they were saying but several plays had everyone roaring with laughter. We were sad for the conference to end, but were so grateful to have come and spent three days in Kawasoti with the Lama family and the believers there.

We serve the Savior of the world and our prayer is that God will do a mighty work through the people in Kawasoti, Prithibosti, Gorka, and the other believers in Nepal.
