We began praying three years ago for this trip. We wanted to have an opportunity to spend time with some of our graduates there, knowing they needed encouragement. In December, many of you gave special gifts to enable us to purchase the tickets. We scheduled the trip for April 16, and began making plans. About 10 days ago, a series of nationwide strikes began, calling for the king to step down and restore democracy. There have been tens of thousands of people demonstrating daily in the streets. After watching the news and consulting with our Nepalese students here in Manila, we decided that it would be wise to postpone our trip. This was disappointing, but we are not giving up. We have re-booked our tickets for two weeks from now. Please pray with us that our trip can push through as planned. And more importantly, pray for peace in Nepal.
