NGO’s with centres in Nepal are mobilising hundreds of staff and resources to assist communities with temporary shelter and aid. Among the many Church groups is ‘Himalayan Region Vineyard Churches’. The following is from a recent facebook entry, ‘Each time there is an aftershock the crows go crazy, the dogs howl, and people call out to each other. We still have not heard from five remote villages where there are Vineyard churches and developing communities. Their houses are made of stone without mortar. A concern is the monsoon season which has just started. Bad timing. Heavy seasonal rains will complicate relief efforts. Landslides will become a concern when the ground becomes saturated. Kathmandu Vineyard has stocked up on food and supplies for the Mobile Bible School. We’ve been using these resources to feed the church people and neighbours who have taken refuge in our courtyard away from the brick walls. It is beautiful the way people are coming together and encouraging each other.
