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.

• Please pray for Dhana Lama whose elderly father was injured in a fall and due to poor health was not able to receive surgery. He died on Saturday. Dhana has been his main carer for some years. Pray for the whole family that they will find the peace of the Lord which passes all understanding. Please also continue to pray likewise for Rachel Kerrach whose elderly father passed away two weeks ago.
   
• Pressures and concerns continue to grow regarding the Government attitude toward the work of UMN. We are hoping and praying for a positive response to our agreement proposals and the need for enough visas for expats. However this is very much in doubt and we long for clarity and a quick positive decision to enable work to progress unhindered. Pray wisdom and peace for all engaged in the discussions.
   
• Travel around the country has become much more free and staff have been able to make long overdue visits. Pray that all will continue to be very careful to maintain safety for themselves and those they work with.
   
• The needs which have rapidly multiplied due to the pandemic are pressing upon us and guidance is needed to develop better and effective responses in our projects. Continue to pray wisdom for all discussions and developments in our work.
