Prayer Points – July 12
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
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives.
Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
(John 14v27)
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
- Pray for the all clusters, Thapathali Office and UMN’s local Partners, they are engaged for financial settlement of the Year-end. As per the Nepali fiscal year, all financial settlement has to be completed before this Thursday 15thof July.
- Pray also for the safe transport of COVID-19 response materials from Kathmandu to Rukum East this week. This support will be of great use in reducing danger and risk in community health work.
- Currently baseline survey work is being carried out among churches in Nawalparasi and Kapilbastu to give understanding of how the Christian community is engaged in serving others. Jiwan Rai has been training and guiding two local enumerators. Pray that this knowledge will be the inspiration for greater levels of service to others.
- Hospital Leadership Teams in Tansen & Okhaldhunga, led by Rachel Karrach and Yubraj Acharya respectively. Week in and week out they have been pressing on with running hospitals while under great pressures. Pray for their leadership teams who are having to make major decisions in less than ideal circumstances.
