The Nepal churches meet on Saturday because this is their free day.
It had rained quite heavy in the night so the footpath - about 700m to the main road- was quite muddy. Due to the rain it wasn’t too hot. We each got a bicycle rickshaw, because it was quite a long way to the church. We passed two heavily fortified Army camps on the way.
About 100 people met at church. It is similar to my Indian experiences. They don’t seem to be quite as traditional as the Indians though.
There were some signs of legalism, notably the head covering that the women wore during the prayer.
I preached my old favourite sermon from 2. Tim 1:5-7. There was great freedom and afterwards we prayed with the people. There was a movement of the Spirit, but I don’t know whether anyone received.
In the meanwhile I found out that a number of people did receive the baptism in the Spirit, including Suresh, one of the guys travelling with us.
