ServLife International is a movement defined by values of God’s kingdom, not programs built around human efforts and activities. The reign and rule of God should be made apparent to every person on the planet, despite their religion, race or socioeconomic status. We believe that issues of justice are inseparable from the good news that Jesus Christ came to proclaim. ServLife exists to take the gospel of Christ and the hope of a better, more just, world to the lives of people we touch. This happens through individual contributions of time, creativity, resources and dreams.The Quake Hit 50 Miles Northeast of Kathmandu Tuesday
When I was in Nepal last March a Nepali tour guide told my friend, "Another earthquake will probably happen soon." Nearly every 80-100 years Nepal is hit hard with an earthquake, and last April 25 it finally hit, and hit hard at 7.8 magnitude just west of Kathmandu. Today a 7.3 earthquake hit 50 miles northeast of Kathmandu, and the devastation continues.
I spent the morning on the phone and online chat gathering updates from our partners in Nepal. All the children in Kathmandu are safe. It will take days, maybe weeks, to contact the 20-30 pastors affected by this. We know that one pastor had a minor injury to his leg. His home and church had significant damage, as did most families that attend his church.
ServLife continues to send disaster relief funds for the purchase of food, tarps and other necessary materials. This Sunday our Assistant Director, Tim Kurth, leaves for Kathmandu to meet with our partners. There he will pray with them, listen, and begin the process of putting our long-term recovery plan in place.
The scale and scope of ServLife's disaster relief efforts will be in direct proportion to the funds that God provides through you and others for this relief effort. I commit to keeping you updated on our progress and ask you to consider making a gift to help ServLife recover from the quakes and continue our work of planting churches, caring for children and fighting poverty. CLICK HERE to donate for relief or text SERVLIFE to 80888 and make a $10 donation through your wireless carrier.
The mission of ServLife to plant churches, care for children and fight poverty is exactly what Nepal needs right now and into the future. Thank you for your partnership and prayers for the people of Nepal.
Thank you,
From Adam Nevins
