Seasonal Greeting & Up date on the Café

Greeting to my dear family and friends,

I’m really glad to say that the cafe is all most set up. A lot of Renovation work and finally we are seeing things falling in place. As a team we have been really busy with all the work but have been able to still meet and help encourage each other.

At the same time we were able to host  a outreach team from Nepal. It has been a blessing to have them as they helped us out with a lot of practical work and they also help lead us in worship and help connect with God as we have been running around with work and feel very tired.

This is going to be a very new season for all of us as we try to finalize some things and start the cafe towards the end of this month. We still need your prayers and your love as we see this dream come true.

Yes it’s been a journey for me personally iv learnt a lot of things by just helping set up the cafe and how important that I need wisdom from the lord and really involve him in everything that I do even if its hard work or just sitting down and listening to someone’s story or teaching at an English conversation class. 

As we all know that its Christmas season now and we were able to host a Christmas celebration for our students at our conversation class.

It was a great opturanity for all of us to be able to connect with the students and also explain to them the true meaning of Christmas and why it means so much to us. That he came down to save all mankind and not just a certain people group only.

Keep praying for the as they have heard the good news and for them to really keep having that interest to hear more and finally except him into their lives.

As a tem we really need your prayers for more wisdom and for grace with each other.

Here are a few prayer points:

1. Please pray for our Cafe as we finalize all the things.
2. Please pray for the Nepali team as they head back for safe journey and for them to keep growing in the Lord.
3. Please pray for the students as they were able to hear the Good news that they will keep having interest to know more of the living Father.
4. Please pray for the Cafe team as we move forward and finally start the cafe by the end of this month.
5. Please pray for me as I really wait on the Lord for his wisdom to keep leading me.

 I am praying and asking to give me wisdom just as Nehemiah did when he was in the presence of the king and how God gave him wisdom to stand up for his people. 

We have been really busy with many things but we have also started trying out our menu and it’s seems to be going well so far.

Starting the Practical Part

Greetings from Manali, 

I am enjoying the business school it’s been a great opportunity to learn so many different things about the business world. We have been learning and doing a lot of practical work in this school.

I am so blessed to see 14 of us being able to take new biblical methods back into the Business world so that we can be world changers through business.

Dinner out with our School

Over the past one and half month we have had many different topics that have really brought an eye opener for all of us. How from the creation God has been dealing with the business world, Today we can see one of the groups that have not been reached out with the living Gospel and the living values of how to run a business is in the business world. 

Preparing an advertise chart for the opening of our practical week.

It put a spark in me of seeing how if we start dealing with the world just as he would deal with it saying no to the ways of the world and being able to have a greater influence on them. I’m with 3 others in my team and we have been able to just sit down and make a really clear business plan and also decide what our values will be and how we will be able to have a balance so that we will not be pulled into the ways of this world. 

Our Leader's

We are in the last week of our school, over this time i am really thankful to God for being able to speak to me in many ways of how i will be able to bring his love and joy through the business world.

Our building is all most completed and we will be heading back to Dharamshalla this week. We are planning to open the Cafe towards the 15^th of November if all things go really well.

Prayer points:

1.       Please pray for our school that all the students will be able to have an effective life in the business World. 

2.       Please pray for My team that we will be able to process all of this and our presentation will be good

.
