Flash flood on Nepal-Tibet

Update and the Prayer Request from the National Director of Vineyard Churches in the Himalayas.

These churches are located about 12 hours’ drive from Kathmandu. At present, after only two hours of travel from Kathmandu, most of the roads and bridges leading to these region have been destroyed or washed away by the flood. As a result, we are unable to reach these communities.

Electricity has been completely cut off. There is no internet service, no telephone network, and no reliable way to contact many of the affected people. Food supplies are becoming scarce, access to healthcare is rapidly declining, and the situation remains chaotic. Many areas are unreachable, and countless individuals remain untraceable.

Most of our church members and local residents depend on daily wage labor for their livelihood. Many were employed in hydropower projects, tunnel construction, riverbed works, and at the Nepal–China border. With the disaster, many have lost not only their jobs but also their means of supporting their families.

At this moment, we do not know what the next course of action will be. However, our church team stands ready to respond and serve as soon as any opportunity opens for us to reach the affected communities. We are committed to helping in whatever way we can.

We humbly ask you to stand with us in prayer during this difficult time. Please pray for protection, provision, comfort for grieving families, and wisdom as we seek ways to respond. We will continue to keep you updated as the situation develops and as we move forward.

Thank you for your prayers and support.
