From our 2nd Partner in Nepal, who was on the far side of the river. Not the same team as the last post.
Yes Didi, it was truly heartbreaking to see the condition of the people. They are carrying such deep sorrow, fear, and confusion. Almost everywhere we visited, we saw people still living in fear and shock. It felt like their hearts had not yet been able to understand what had happened.
Many of them were going back almost every day to the riverside, standing and staring at the river, trying to recognize the place where their homes once stood and where they had everything just a few days ago. Some could hardly believe that everything they had worked for and built over many years could disappear in such a short time.
We saw people sitting beside the river for hours, quietly looking at the water. You could see the fear in their faces—they were afraid that the river might rise again and take away whatever little they still have left.
It was not only the loss of houses and belongings; they have lost their sense of security. Many are sleeping with fear, wondering what will happen if the river comes again. The pain is very real, and for many, the wounds are still very fresh.
Being there and seeing it with our own eyes was very difficult. It reminded us how fragile life is and how much these families need not only practical help, but also someone to stand with them, listen to them, pray with them, and remind them that they are not forgotten.
We are praying that Lord will show and provide us for whatever little we can do, they will experience the love, comfort, and hope of Christ in the midst of this terrible season. 🙏
