Subject: sad newsDear Sister Tracy,
Jayamashia!
Of late, the situation in our school is not good. It is dangerous. The principal and teachers from a neighboring school have been planning many strategies to remove our school from Chutopal. They saw much progress in our school and the quality education that the children have. As a result, their school enrolment has dropped. Nowadays they have brought bad people to do bad things. On Friday, they sent three bad people to our school. They threatened to kill one of the teachers. Before we could reach the school, they had already fled. They also threatened to go to Sandu Dai’s house tonight to beat us up. Hence, we have called other people to come by Sandu Dai’s house. However they have a big group of bad people and they have no qualms about killing people. So they can do anything to us. They have all sorts of weapons (knife, gun, others). Therefore, nowadays our lives are endangered. However our hope, trust, belief and prayer is in our God who protects us always, everyday and everywhere. So, we need your prayers.
The students are having exams these few days. We have asked the school board members to come everyday to watch over the safety of the school and teachers.
Take care and God bless you always,
Yadav Dai
Yadav Dai and Sandu Dai are two of my Nepalese friends who serve in Chutopal. They need our prayers.
Yadav Dai graduated from a Bible College in Kathmandu recently. He has decided to give his life to serving the Lord in the village of Chutopal, deep in the North-eastern hills of Nepal. Sandu Dai is the pastor of the Chutopal village church. He also houses the teachers from the school and farms chickens for eggs, which he gives to the churchgoers at no charge.
The village school that they helped to set up has more than seventy students, with five classes in total ranging from nursery to year two. Due to the dedication of Yadav Dai, Sandu Dai and the teaching staff, the school has grown in recognition and numbers. This led to fierce jealousy from the principal of a neighboring school and armed men were sent over to kill one of the teachers. In addition, they planned to ambush Sandu Dai’s house in the night to beat him and the other teachers. These armed men have killed people prior to this and the villagers of Chutopal are helpless to their advances.
Let us pray along with our fellow believers in Chutopal. Ask our Lord for His divine intervention over the situation in Chutopal, and for His mercies on the children at the school and the teachers. Pray also for Yadav Dai and Sandu Dai that their faith in His unfailing faithfulness may grow from strength to strength despite these setbacks. Lastly, pray for God to raise up more faithful servants to carry His light in such times and in Nepal.
