SARA Ministries

We had the opportunity to visit with a Nepali pastor named Tej Rokka. He is a local pastor who has several children’s homes and a bible school. When you meet this man, you immediately recognize the humility he has. It was so encouraging to be able to visit with him and hear his story (which you can read here). Pastor Tej was an orphan himself, and it was there that he first heard the gospel. Pastor Tej said that out of all of the kids that were there with him, 90% are now currently in the ministry. His heart is to reach these children like he was reached, to “give as he was given”. It reminds me of 1 Corinthians 3:5-11

What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Ministering servants [not heads of parties] through whom you believed, even as the Lord appointed to each his task: I planted, Apollos watered, but God [all the while] was making it grow and [He] gave the increase. So neither he who plants is anything nor he who waters, but [only] God Who makes it grow and become greater. He who plants and he who waters are equal (one in aim, of the same importance and esteem), yet each shall receive his own reward (wages), according to his own labor. For we are fellow workmen (joint promoters, laborers together) with and for God; you are God’s [b]garden and vineyard and field under cultivation, [you are] God’s building. According to the grace (the special endowment for my task) of God bestowed on me, like a skillful architect and master builder I laid [the] foundation, and now another [man] is building upon it. But let each [man] be careful how he builds upon it, For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is [already] laid, which is Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

We spent some time visiting with the children at one of the homes; singing songs, playing games, and praying for them.

We also were able to visit briefly with the those attending the bible school and were able to pray for them, as they will be going back to their home villages soon. Many of them will be facing tremendous persecution for their faith.

Please keep all of these in your prayers. If you would like to know more, you can visit www.saraministries.com
