Prayer Points – April 5
In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, UMN invites all people of prayer to set aside time daily to ask for God’s help in our work in Nepal. The time suggested for UMN staff is 3.00 pm. For our friends around the world, we ask that you join us either at the equivalent time in your country of 3 pm Nepal time, or whenever you are able. Many have found setting a daily alarm on their phone a useful reminder.
Thank you for your fellowship in prayer.
Joel Hafvenstein
Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
(Colossians 3v1-2)
We encourage everyone who is praying for UMN not only to raise our requests but to listen to God on UMN’s behalf. Please take time to read this Bible verse slowly to yourself. Pause and ask God to speak through His Word. Then read it slowly again. Settle and calm your mind before you pray.
Major Matters for Prayer
- In Rukum, pray for the successful screening of Children with Disability (CWD) for the treatment support. Prem Devkota and Hemanta ji will be involved in the process to select CWDs.
- In addition, pray for successful inter-project monitoring visits. Project teams including Bina and Parshu from our Monitoring Evaluation and Learning (MEAL) team are monitoring different projects.
- Continue to pray for all our hospital staff as they offer medical help to all patients. On Monday the staff at Tansen are scheduled to receive their second vaccination. Pray that this goes without hitch.
- As shared before, there is an expectation of a further wave of Covid-19 infection sweeping the country. Pray that people will take greater care for their safety and the safety of others.
- A number of staff have been able to take a period of leave at Easter time. Pray that this will be genuinely refreshing and that time spent with family and loved ones will be very special.
