August 2009 - Nepal

Dr. David Sloss recently taught at the Carey Himalayan University of Theology in Kathmandu, Nepal, and returned to Canada with a heart full of joy to the Lord for His provision in ministering for the Kingdom. He was assigned to teach Old Testament Survey 1, and found that the 18 students had a great desire to learn.

Eyes were Opened to the Necessity of Studying the Whole Bible

Dr. Sloss wrote, "I found the background of the students, as is often the case, weak in Hebrew Scripture understanding. But as a result of the course, many students found the necessity to study the whole Bible an imperative. It is always encouraging to see eyes opened to the content of the Scriptures and this was particularly so in Nepal."

Further Ministry Opportunities for our Lecturer

The Carey field co-ordinators often have plans to use our lecturers' gifts and talents to minister to the people in the countries we serve. Dr. Samuel Rai, the President of Carey Himalayan University of Theology, provides a one year Bible school for pastors in Pokhara. He invited Dr. Sloss to teach for two days - the book of James. These students come from the length of the country and are passionate about the things of Christ.

At this school, there is also a five month program for ladies to learn Bible to be supportive as pastor's wives and also to learn the skill of tailoring so that they can be self-sufficient in terms of income.

Dr. Sloss was blessed by every opportunity he had to minister. He wrote, "These teaching assignments not only provide an opportunity to provide educational input for the students, but also provide opportunities to interact with them in such a way as to give counsel and encouragement in their individual ministries. I value this means of supporting the teaching role and find it helpful for students."

Breaking News regarding Egypt

Please pray for the two courses happening now in Cairo. Mike Ghiz is teaching OT Survey II; Peter Law is teaching Systematic Theology I. There was a disappointing turnout, as 80 or more students were expected and only 18 have come. Pray that God will be glorified, and that He will bless the students and the lecturers. Also pray for the meetings in Minya with a new group seeking to establish another school. Join us in praying especially that God would establish a firm foundation for the school in Cairo (students from around the Arab world).

Pray for Carey Outreach Ministries, that the work we do will bring glory and honour to our Heavenly Father alone!

William Carey said, "Expect great things from God; Attempt great things for God!" Carey Outreach Ministries expects great things from God.

Pray that we will continue to attempt great things for God!
