But, that is not all He provided! Two months after I arrive (the students will be on a short be on a short break from school due to cultural festivals), I will be partnering with a ministry called climbing for christ on a trip to reach the unreached sherpas in mountainous regions.
When I first found C4C, I was pulled by their vision statement.
"TAKING THE GOSPEL TO MOUNTAINOUS AREAS OF THE WORLD WHERE OTHER MISSIONARIES CANNOT OR WILL NOT GO"
My first question to God, "Can I do that, God? I am so incredibly excited about the work you will be doing through me in Kathmandu, but Lord, I feel like there is more work to be done that just that."
He didn't answer me right away. But I could not stop thinking about reaching the people of Nepal in the most hard to reach areas. Finally, I got an urge to do even more research on the organization. This led me to find the trip they have in Nepal just two months after my arrival. I quivered. This has to be God! So I prayed. He said to lower my pride and wait.
Later, I spoke with a woman who is a well known mission advisor. I did not bring up C4C to her. We talked about Nepal and what I should expect, moving there without an organization.
But she said one thing that rung in my head, even hours after our conversation. She said, "Karina, don't limit God to one area. God has gifted you in many areas and who are you to only let Him shine through 10 percent?"
Right away I felt this sting in my heart, and Climbing for Christ came shooting back up to my head so fast it almost hurt.
Immediately, I got on my knees and started praying. The Lord finally (after a few days of praying) gave me peace to apply, and a week later I received and email that told me I would be a part of a team to reach the unreached in Nepal.
PRAISE GOD! For those of you who do not know, I love climbing and the outdoors. One of my favorite things to do is to recite Romans 1:20, while admiring God's marvelous creation.
For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. (Romans 1:20)
For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. (Romans 1:20)
It is so exciting that God will be using me, teaching in Kathmandu AND to go to reach the most unreached people in Nepal, the Sherpas!
Please be praying for me, friends!
Also, I do need to raise around $2,000 in order to make all this happen. God is my provider, and so I just ask that you pray and see if He puts it on your heart to be a supporter. Ask God if you should be a one time or monthly supporter. And ask HIM to give you a number of how much to give.

Thank you so much, this would not be possible without givers!

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
