Nepal

On May 7, 2015 By Harry and Annie Bergshoeff

Once again, we are leaving Canada – this time to go to Nepal for five weeks to help with the earthquake relief. As in the Philippines Typhoon Haiyan response in 2013, we are going as International Relief Managers (IRMs) with World Renew to help implement their initial disaster response and longer term recovery plans.

Our flight leaves on Thursday, May 7. We have shared this news with our family and some friends but the element of surprise is gone. “We figured you might.” “We wondered if World Renew would go there and if you would be part of that.” We think we were the only ones surprised as we just got back from Liberia a few weeks ago. God put the burden of these people in Nepal on our hearts and the commitment to go despite some serious competition from our lovely, promising perennial gardens and the perfect spring weather here at home. And then there are the beautiful grandchildren…..

Please pray for the families of the more than 7,500 people (found so far) who have died and the more than 14,000 injured. They are grieving the loss of family members and many of their homes and belongings have been destroyed. They are in desperate need of water, food, shelter and health care.

Please pray for us. We cannot do this without your prayer support and God’s power. We specifically ask for prayer for our emotional and physical safety as well as wisdom in the planning and implementation. Pray that God will lead the World Renew team to the appropriate communities to support and to guide us in working with them to ensure that they receive the most needed immediate relief and the optimal long term measures to sustain them.
