Churches meet on
Saturday here, as they do in many eastern countries. This is to fit
in with the rest of the community who have Saturday off, Sunday is a
normal working day for many and even schools run on Sundays. We
divided into six teams, each team leading a service at the church
they were taken to. Churches range in size, as they do in most
countries, but the largest are only a few hundred. There are plenty
of smaller churches where a few of us were sent.
Upon return, we had
a chance for a quick wash or emails and then back out to a youth
meeting. The youth pastor at this church is from India, so he is
working on his Nepalese and is becoming confident in speaking it.
The journeys around
the city are so much easier because so many vehicles are off the road
waiting in queues for petrol. The fuel crisis is damaging the economy
of Nepal. Nothing can be moved from the suppliers and many factories
have closed down and will hopefully re-start once fuel begins to flow
back into the country.
