We are travelling from 10-Jan-2012 till 28-Jan-2012. We are flying from Detroit-Chicago to New Delhi India and staying there for one day. Seeing how we are travelling through New Delhi, I figured we might as well stay 1 day in there. We have a full day the first day in New Delhi on the first and last day of the trip.
After New Delhi, we will travel to Kathmandu Nepal which is the capital of Nepal and has a population of around 2 million people. The Kathmandu Vineyard is expecting us and will have a jeep ready for us to travel to our intended destination; Nessing and Gatlang Vineyards. As far as I can figure out, it is a 8 hour jeep ride and a 2 hour hike to Nessing. They are the two churches on the top left. (Click on picture for a larger image)
These two churches have always been on my heart and are almost on the Tibet border and involve a people group that is rural and cut off from most western influences… The Chief of the Nessing Vineyard was a witch doctor before he came to Christ. Now his son is the pastor of the church and over 2/3 of the village has come to Christ. Gatlang is just over the hill (4 hour hike) and holds the training centre being built by the vineyards for that area. There are two other villages are within 4 hours hiking as well.
One of the goals of this visit is to see if River City Vineyard should partner with this church (see partnerships for more details). They call this a Mitra which is a Nepali word describing friendship and connection. I have no agenda for this trip other than creating friendship and connection. This is just something I have felt lead to do for some time and believe the real purpose will become clear.
We have no agenda other than we are going to Sililguru India around the 22nd of January 2012 to participate in a conference with all the regional churches.
