Raju, a 24 year old man in the Pokhara church fell at a construction site last week. He went home to be with the Lord early Friday morning. He leaves behind a 21 year old widow and a 3 year old daughter. Please pray for them. Life is not easy for widows in Nepal. They seldom remarry and few men here will raise another man's child. Please pray that she will choose to live with her Christian in-laws who have offered her a place in their home and hearts. Over 200 friends and relatives were at the face to face service on Friday at noon. This was the first time that many of them had seen a Christian burial. The Hindus and Buddhists cremate their dead. Less than 2% of Nepal is Christian. They heard the Gospel from Pastor Narj at the service. Pray that many will choose to belive in Christ. At the graveside Raju's mother gave a beautiful testimony and a challenge to all her family to believe. She said, "My son is not here! He is right now in Heaven with Jesus. Praise God!"
