Teen Ranch Nepal
Nepal was hit by a huge earthquake, 8000 died within a few minutes. Bob (founder of TRS and T.R.E.E) said, "I should go and see if I can help." So, there he headed off to Nepal in 2016 to help where we could. There was much disappointment when Bob and his son was taken to a hospital and they brought out old chairs to fix. We were in the wrong place, but made the best of it.
We moved on and went the opposite way out of Kathmandu- East towards China- now we were in it. Whole villages gone, houses gone, bridges gone. The relief aid had come, given them food and tin sheets, and have never been back. We met a couple who said their village has lost all, and would we like to go there? So up, up, up, up the mountainside we went. Devastation, a collapsed church, 23 dead in minutes. But our time was up, we could not help. So we left Nepal in body, but not in heart. We returned.
Near our first stop, the hospital, 3 acres offered, beautiful 'ranch' land, and our 2nd, the destroyed village, where they also offered land and requested us to come. We have sent them money, they have rebuilt the church, a dining room and a basketball court. So here we stand, "To be or not to be that is the question." When we first went to France, a staff member said, "We don't have the workers, time, or money." Nothing has changed. "They just shall live by faith." Martin Luther, wrote next to this verse "Sola"- "Alone". They just shall live by faith- ALONE.
