Nepal Mission Trip


View from the plane.


Surreal, right?






The kids are so cute!












Had our morning devotion near the stream. My team members - Benny, Davis, Carol & Fui Ping with our cute intepreter, Anil. We're the JIT team- Just In Time!


People were streaming in to see doctor at Aunt Jutta's house before we head to the villages.


The acting pharmists - Fui Ping & myself had a crash course on medicines.




"What's the noise? Oh, Carol teaching the kids - F A T H E R, M O T H E R... etc" said the doc when he'd break.



The heavy rain didnt dampen our spirit as we hiked to Chargerak. Praise God for granting us safe journey, bringing the villagers & clearing the sky when we hike back.


Pr Palan & the youth drying themselves up.


Praise God for clear sky the next day when we head to Saunepani. The school boys moved the furniture from their classrooms for medical work.




Our interpreters.


The kids dancing to "Jesus, You're my superhero".




View from Pr Palan's backyard.


Lakeside in Pokhara.




"2 or 3 prints?" asked Benny. He worked hard trying to please all with the team t-shirt.


We raided most shops we visited in Thamel & Pokhara, enquiring for different colours, designs, sizes etc =).
This trip has been a faith building journey, seeing God turn the impossibles to possibles!
