GREETINGS!
We were recently honored to host Bishop Hans and Dana Hess from Redemption Ministries Conference on their first trip to Nepal. What a blessing they were! Our assistant director, Ashok Lama, and his family have been watching Bishop Hess minister online for several years and have prayed that he would one day visit Nepal. He and his family were thrilled to meet Bishop Hans and his wife, and they immediately connected.
Upon their arrival, we took the Hess family on a tour of the headquarters, and they were grateful for the blessing of our Nepali leaders having a location to pray, fellowship, and train.
We began with a pastor/leader conference, with approximately 100 attendees. However, due to a significant political protest in the country, 80 could not reach the location despite their efforts. During the conference, the leaders received ministry, prayer, and encouragement to strengthen themselves for what is ahead.
Bishop Hess and his wife, Dana, delivered outstanding teaching and anointed music during our worship service at a local church. The healing service was exceptional, with verified healings and spontaneous fillings of the Holy Spirit. The pastor of the church we visited has planted 20 churches and endured much persecution along the way. We are grateful for the work he is doing in various parts of Nepal.
We held a ladies’ meeting, with Dana Hess sharing her testimony and music. Judith led the meeting with Danny, Bishop Hess, and Dana, individually praying for each lady. It was a beautiful ministry time, and many received a touch from the Lord.
The following afternoon, we had a new church dedication where Bishop Hess ministered. Danny conducted the healing service, and all participated. Our Interpreter stated that several testified to healing and being pain-free after the service. Shortly after we left, the police came due to the neighbors’ opposing Christian worship in their community. The situation was temporarily resolved, with the pastor agreeing to keep things quiet. Please continue to pray for the Nepali Christian community.
Before Bishop Hess and his wife departed, we enjoyed a traditional Nepali meal and fellowship with the Lama family at the headquarters.
We give thanks to our Lord for Judith receiving a five-year visa to India (this means we can legally travel in and out but not live there). We traveled to India for two action-packed weeks at the Beyond Borders Training Center, run by Gopi and Marites Kumar. What a beautiful ministry time we had teaching the young female students their worth and value in Jesus Christ! We prayed, worshiped, and ate together, which was a precious time for each of us. The girls are also learning to bake, stitch, sew, use computers, and cut hair. They were filled with joy at each new accomplishment. The Singer Sewing Machine in the photo to the right was given in memory of Judith’s mother, a fantastic seamstress who preferred Singer to any other sewing machine. The smile on this young girl’s face was priceless.
We were privileged to help coordinate and participate in the first Asia Arise in Prayer Summit, taught by Rev. Manuel Pate. It was a joyous occasion as people from eight countries arrived in India for this historical event. This was so much more than a teaching on prayer; it was interactive and a time of being vulnerable before others as we opened our hearts to the Father. We spent three days learning, sharing, and praying with our brothers and sisters in Christ. Words cannot express the beautiful experience this was as we were challenged to transform our churches into houses of prayer for all nations. God is presently calling His global church to pray like never before.
We appreciate Bishop Talmadge Gardner and Rev. Russell Board’s vision and the privilege of taking this to other Asian countries.
May our hearts be ignited to pray passionately for a worldwide harvest of souls.
Blessings,
Danny & Judith Williams
