Nepal relief!

Praise the Lord!
Pastor Paul and Bishwa’s team went to the flood-affected areas today with our first essential relief. Funds from local churches have been collected and our team is distributing supplies to families affected by the flood.

We sent water filters, mattresses, solar lights, and essentials to help meet the affected families.

We are praying to provide a monthly relief package for at least 100 families in need.

Pray for the affected people. Support relief efforts online at

I edited this post to add pictures showing the relief work Face to Faith did with Pastor Bishwa in 2015 after the earthquake. This is the type of relief assistance that we are doing now to assist people devastated by the flood on 26 August 2026.

Pastor Bishwa of Life-Giving Church in Kathmandu represents Face to Faith in Nepal. They are joining hands with the Christian community to bring vital, short-term relief supplies to people devastated by the flood. People have lost everything. Communities have lost infrastructure, roads, bridges, buildings, water, electricity, schools, etc. Basic essentials are needed to help people survive until everythinng can be rebuilt.

Short-term relief will provide families with a solar light, water bucket with scoop, hygiene items, toothpaste, toothbrushes, bathing soap, laundry soap and cooking essentials (cooking oil, salt, sugar, rice, flour, lighters, etc.). These provisions will serve those in need about one month. We will also provide mattresses, tarps and plastic storage containers as well.

We want to help 300 families as quickly as possible. $50 helps one family, $100 helps two, $500 helps ten and $1,000 helps 20. If you are led to give then mail your check payable to:

Greetings friends,

Everyone is aware of the devastating flood on the border of Nepal and Tibet on Wednesday, the 26th of August. The videography, photography and news coverage has brought the tragedy to the attention of the world. As I write this, 903 people have died and 4,247 are missing.

A massive glacier collapse may have triggered a devastating chain reaction that sent a wall of water, mud and debris rushing down the mountainous Rasuwa Region in Nepal taking out roads, bridges, buildings, villages and infrastructure.

Unfortunately, Nepal is no stranger to devastation due to natural events. In March 2015, a massive earthquake destroyed buildings, roads, infrastructure and killed nearly 9,000 people and left 3.5 million homeless.

Face to Faith sent a relief team to work with Pastor Bishwa and his church in July of 2015 to provide relief to villages and people in the hard-to-reach Himalayan Mountains.

Pastor Bishwa is Nepal’s National Trainer for Face to Faith Ministry. He and his wife, Gopi, live in Kathmandu and thankfully are safe. Their church and Bible School train evangelists and church planters. They have planted several churches in the Himalayan Mountains. Unfortunately, the Christian community has experienced great loss.

Syaprubesi Church, Rasuwa - Three members are missing and the church building has been damaged.
Punarutthan Church, Rasuwa - The church building has been severely damaged.
Punarutthan Church, Nuwakot -The church has been damaged and the pastor is missing.
Mailung Church, Rasuwa - Approximately 50 members are missing and the church building has been damaged.
Sanit Bazar, Nuwakot - Approximately 30 members have died.
Timure Church, Rasuwa - The pastor is reportedly the only survivor found alive. Many members are reported to have died.
Tukche Anugrah Church, Nuwakot - Four members are missing.
Dakbari Church, Rasuwa – Seventeen members are missing.

Communication and transportation into the affected areas is extremely difficult. Bishwa will continue contacting pastors and church leaders to learn what people’s critical needs are.

Pray earnestly for the missing and injured. Pray for the families who have lost loved ones and for the churches and communities that have been devastated.

You can contribute towards their needs through Face to Faith. Earmark your donation “Nepal.” We will work to help as many people as possible.

Mail your check to Face to Faith, 224 Northstone Pl., Fayetteville, NC 28303.

May the grace and peace of God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ be with you and with the people of Nepal.

I love how God is using our team to bring glory to Himself. Bangladesh is a beautiful country the size of Illinois with 180 million souls worth saving.

Praiseworthy! Our Faith Conference in Bangladesh resulted in more than 153 new believers trusting in Jesus Christ for their salvation. The 66 year old church was saved also.

The church was a light in the dark but a rivalry between the pastor and leadership was marching to destruction. The church was lazy, without ministry.

The rivals came to the training. They mended their differences and repented. Now the church is revitalized and pursuing God's work.

Pictured you see folded hands become united hands, a student giving her testimony and the graduates.
