J-town For Jesus

At the end of July, I traveled with volunteers and a national SC to a remote mountain village in the Himalayas.  We were able to see fruit from our ministry in area where there has been no fruit for a very long time.  I met an ethnic Tibetan man, his wife and his daughter in a wheat field.  He is a lower caste Tibetan Buddhist man who works with his family in the fields outside of a village called J-town.  On a rainy afternoon, we stopped by their threshing floor where they were threshing wheat.  The daughter and her mother were plucking the heads from grains of wheat that did not get caught by the threshing device.  We asked if we could help and they allowed us to work alongside them.  This provided us with a great opportunity to begin sharing Christ with them.  The mother spoke broken Tibetan and the daughter spoke Nepali and a little English.  The women asked us to come to their home the following morning to share this message of hope with the man of the house.  The following morning, as we drank tea together in their home, we were able to share intimately through a translator the Creation-to-Christ story followed with a detailed Gospel presentation.  Although the mother was not there, the father and daughter decided they needed to turn from Tibetan Buddhism and follow Christ.  This same day, the only other two believers in this village were baptized.  They had been led to Christ 3 years before but had not publicly professed Christ as their Savior through the ordinance of baptism.  There is still no church or fellowship in this area yet, but we have two journeymen there right now doing follow-up and discipleship.
