Day 2 - Nepal Creation Conference (20 April)

At the close of the Nepal Creation Conference, we were pleasantly surprised to receive a traditional gift from the host church (Covenant Christian Fellowship) - a Nepali topi for the men and a scarf for the ladies. For the second day, my presentation focused on dinosaurs and so far, I find that the fascination with dinosaurs is a global phenomena and a wonderful bridge to start talking about just how relevant Biblical history is. Praise the Lord for this amazing opportunity!
We are grateful to the leadership of Dr.Joseph Paturi and his wife, Shoba. Although there were some administrative challenges, he stepped up to provide leadership and worked closely with Pastor Ram in getting the conference to a great start. Quite possibly - as the Lord leads - we may do the next conference in New Delhi, India.
The Nepal Creation Conference would not have been successful without dedicated pastors who helped us with the translation. Pastor Silas and his wife traveled for almost a day to the conference and he was my translator for the first day of the conference. One of the youth leaders commented - "We've always have questions about dinosaurs, the Big Bang, etc but our pastors could not provide answers; instead they just ask us to trust in Jesus. Now, after the conference, we know that the Bible do provide answers!"
While, the conference was going on in the church auditorium, Eunice was busy having her own "ministry" - playing and making friends with the children from the orphanage. She now know more Nepali words than me!
