尼泊爾加強開展報導
今年2月29日至3月13日，有10位東京全時間訓練的學員從日本赴尼泊爾開展，這是日本學員第一次集體赴海外開展。出發前，我們就期盼這一次的開展，一面是加強主在尼泊爾福音的推廣及眾召會的見證，另一面他們能藉著與印度學員和海外聖徒的配搭而擴大服事主的心志及度量。
這次我們加強開展加德滿都(Kathmandu)及勒利德布爾(Lalitpur)這兩個相鄰的城市，共分為3個小隊在3個不同的地點開展。一開始雖因著語言以及新環境的關係，日本學員們需要適應，也有人的身體不適，但主的靈與我們的禱告將我們調為一，突破了外面的限制，帶下祂的祝福。
第一週我們主體是叩門開展，期間雖然遇到一些敞開的家，但都需要持續接觸，不能馬上受浸，是故只有一位在牧養中的姊妹受浸。第二週我們試著花更多的時間在馬路上接觸人，在3個開展地我們都遇到了平安之子，帶了8位新人浸入主名。其中一位新受浸的弟兄，之前曾經有美國弟兄持續牧養他2~3年，後來這位美國弟兄回美國了，就沒人牧養他了，但這次在路上我們碰到了，他說這真是主的帶領，他也當天受浸歸主。另有兩位女學生，曾在印度的基督教學校上學，當時她們就接受主，並且改了自己的名字(尼泊爾人常以偶像的名字命名)，這次在路上被姊妹們碰見，很高興的與姊妹們回到訓練中心唱詩享受主，經過簡單的分享，都願意立刻受浸。還有一位男學生，自己讀聖經一段時間了，在路上被弟兄們遇見，當天就禱告接受主，隔了幾天後，也來到訓練中心受浸得救。
經過兩週的加強開展，日本的學員們都分享，一開始不知道自己為何要來到尼泊爾，語言不能溝通，很多學員也生病無法開展，不知道主要他們作什麼。但經過兩週，每個人都學了不同的功課。有人看見自己在開展上一直都不竭力，只是虛應了事；有人則看見訓練的價值；也有學員對人的靈魂更有負擔，不只要為日本人的得救禱告，更要顧到主在全地的需要。
這兩週的時間共帶了9位受浸得救，雖然人數沒有很多，但每一位至今都還能接觸及牧養，其中5位還來過主日聚會並且分享得救見證，眾聖徒都很得鼓勵。求主繼續加強祂在尼泊爾的工作，讓祂在尼泊爾的眾金燈臺更加照耀明亮！
請代禱：
1. 記念牧養的工作，使帶得救的新人都能留在召會生活中，成為常存的果子。
2. 3/27-5/1臺灣學員來加強開展Kathmandu與Lalitpur，能得著許多尋求者跟敞開的家，加強主在尼泊爾的見證。
Intensified Propagation in Nepal
This year from 29th Feb. to 13th March, there were 10 trainees from FTT-TK to Nepal for propagation. It is the first time that Japanese trainees went to overseas propagation. Before they coming, we hope the propagation this time can bring in two aspects of blessing. In one aspect, this propagation can intensify the spreading of the gospel in Nepal and the testimony of the churches. In another aspect, Japanese trainees can be enlarged their will and measure to serve the Lord through coordinated with Indian trainees and local saints.
We propagated in Kathmandu and Lalitpur these two nearby cities. We divided three teams to propagate in three different areas. Because of language problem and new environment, Japanese trainees need to adapt. Some got sick also. But the Spirit of the Lord and our prayer blend us to become one. We breakthrough outwardly limitation and bring in His blessing.
In the first week, we went for door-knocking. Although we mat some open families, we need to spend time to shepherd them. We cannot baptize them immediately. There was only sister who is under our shepherding got baptized. In the second week, we spend more time to contact people on the streets. We mat the sons of peace in all three propagating areas. We brought 8 new ones to be baptized. One of them was shepherd by one American brother for two to three years. This American brother went back to U.S. later and no one shepherded him continually. This time we mat on the street. He said it is Lord’s leading. He got baptized in the same day. Another two girls studied in a Christian school in India before. They received the Lord at that time. They changed their name (Nepali people use to give the name from idol’s name). Our sisters invited them to the training center to enjoy the Lord. After simple sharing, both of them are willing to be baptized. Another student read the Bible by himself for several months. Brothers mat him and shared the gospel to him. He received the Lord immediately. He came to the training center to be baptized after few days.
After two weeks propagation, Japanese trainees shared that they didn’t know why God brought them to Nepal in the beginning. They cannot speak Nepali. Some of them cannot go to propagate because of illness. But they said they learned many lessons during these two weeks. Some saw that himself were not desperate in propagation. Some saw the value of the full-time training. Some have more burden in the soul of man. We have to not only pray for Japanese, but also pray for the Lord’s need in whole world.
Although we only bore 9 fruits these two weeks, all of them are under our shepherding now. Five of them attended the Lord’s Table meeting and shared their testimony. All the saints were encouraged by their sharing. Hope the Lord strengthen His work in Nepal continually. Cause His Golden Lampstands in Nepal to shine brighter and brighter!
Please pray for Nepal:
1. Remember the shepherding work. Cause all the new ones entering into the church life and becoming the remaining fruits.
2. FTTT trainees come to Nepal for intensified propagation on 3/27 – 5/1. We can gain more seeking ones and open families to strengthen the Lord’s testimony in Nepal.
