Nepal is welcoming to Christians for humanitarian projects. And so, this is the HOW of what we do as we demonstrate the love we have for the hearts and souls of the Nepali people.
We have all been blessed tremendously in giving a hand up to these wonderful people who often live in villages with abject poverty knocking at the door each day.
As a reminder to everyone, getting to these villages often takes us down rivers ( by buses out of a Mad Max movie) and then hikes into the villages, which is a long day trip if not a two-day trip. Transportation of animals often takes someone days to pick up the animals and transport them by tractor or a type of flatbed truck. I wish to remind everyone that we do NOT discriminate because of faith, but evaluate and distribute needs to people after visiting an area.
Nepal is again not welcoming to Christians except for humanitarian aid. And so this is what we do as we show the love we have for the hearts and souls throughout our work.

We delivered 50 more blankets to a village near Makwanpur. This village is down the river from the village we have worked in for years, called Kalikatar ( Kalitar) in which we are looking at how we can help this village as we did Kalikatar. We have been asked to help the school, which is in dire need of roofing, educational materials, etc.

At Orchid Garden School run by Bina Basnet ( we have worked with her for 7 years now) needed insulation in two their classrooms as the metal ceilings become so hot in the summer.

February 19th
Facilitated the cost of a Carnival for the college students team in Hotel Management, which was a project to learn how to raise funds for Hotel promotions- David Khadka.
March 12th
Women’s Prayer group- there is a group of women that get up every morning between 3 and 4 to pray. They will pray without ceasing for at least an hr every day, and then, as wives and mothers, attend to the day. These women are committed, and so CFH paid for a retreat for 3 days and two nights. Rest was appreciated, and the time was filled with prayer, application of faith, and love. The cost was under $500, and this amounts to $13 a day for all meals/snacks and rooms for each lady.
May 1st-29th
Seminary class for one month 18 students taught by 9 teachers, all with Masters or PhDs in Seminary. Each student was fed and housed for one month and received a new bible when the classes ended.
June 5th
We returned to the school in the Terai – Shree Mahji Basic School. The school was not in session the day of the delivery, but we were able to gather some of the children. We have done extensive work at this school for the last 5 years ( see previous blogs) and delivered Backpacks and warm uniforms for each child.
There were so many other things accomplished in the last 7 months. We are sending one woman through seminary classes as she is a women’s leader in her church. More goats will be purchased. Last-minute graduation issues for David Khadka.
Last but far from least, in a far-away town, they came to be washed in the river.
CFH continues as I return for a month on December 29th, 2026, to evaluate and determine what will be done in 2027.
I will fundraise for projects to be done when I return later this year for another month.
Be blessed as you bless others.
Blessed are the feet…
