“The message I preach hasn’t changed. Circumstances have changed. Problems have changed, but deep inside man has not changed, and the gospel hasn’t changed.”—Billy Graham
Christopher returned last night from a training trip to Nepal. He was pleased to see that since he was there in August, life has regained some of its normalcy. While travel in country was predictably long, it was especially fruitful this trip; 70+ people attended the trainings each day, many of whom for the first time.
Persecution in Nepal continues. Arrests (link, link) are not uncommon, and threats of violence are routine in villages throughout the country. The need for the Gospel, as the quote above illustrates, is still as real as ever. The circumstances throughout the globe have shifted due to Covid and its impact on travel. But the freedom that a life in Christ offers is the same— yesterday, today, and forever!
