This season your gifts are reflecting God’s love by bringing hope and joy to children in Nepal.
Leaders and teachers there are preparing for around 150 children ages 4 to 13 to attend Vacation Bible School. Many of these children come from very poor and difficult conditions and will travel from 22 churches across Nepal.
Your generosity will help provide meals, supplies and transportation so they can experience the true gospel of Jesus Christ.
Provide Transportation and Meals
$5 Bus Ticket: Helps a child travel to VBS from one of the 22 locations. Children will come for two days and then travel back home.
$15 Meal Ticket: Provides five meals and snacks for a child during VBS.
Look for the Bus Ticket and Meal Ticket ornaments decorating our Giving Trees in the lobby and take as many as you plan to support.
Please bring your gift to church, placing a check or cash in an envelope marked Bus Ticket or Meal Ticket in the offering box. You may also give online through the Giving page of our website by selecting Bus Ticket or Meal Ticket from the dropdown options.
Partner Through Financial Gifts

Elizabeth’s Health, Travel and Ministry Plans
Elizabeth will face long travel and many opportunities to teach and care as she serves. Ask for God’s protection over her health and travel and for Him to bless her ministry plans.
Vacation Bible School
The VBS will take place on December 18 and 19 and will serve about 150 children. This will be a wonderful opportunity to share the true gospel of Jesus Christ in a way that children can understand and receive Him into their hearts. Transportation will be arranged as leaders and teachers in Nepal and India bring children from 22 churches across Nepal so they can serve together with unifying hearts. Meals for both days of VBS will also be provided for every child. Both the transportation and the meals are supported in part through the generosity of our Giving Trees outreach. Please pray that God’s presence and power will move mightily among them during this mission.
Seminar
The “Mental Health Support Needed in the Church” seminar will focus on anxiety, depression, grief and suicidality, issues that deeply affect the church today. Nearly every second home in the Nepal mission area carries a story of suicide, which makes this need urgent. Elizabeth will also train participants in grief counseling so they can use these skills in youth groups, men’s ministries and women’s fellowships.
Teaching and Awareness Camps
Elizabeth will lead First-Aid and Menstrual Health Awareness efforts, using practical care and needed medical supplies to meet real needs while sharing Christ’s love and helping lay a foundation for the school’s growth.
Field Visits to ECCN Churches
As part of this mission, Elizabeth and other leaders will visit several of the 22 ECCN churches to offer fellowship, encouragement and support to church leaders and members. During these visits, they hope to listen to their stories, pray with them and provide counseling care wherever it is needed with God’s guidance.
Sermon Preparation and Ministry Activities
Elizabeth will be preaching in various fellowships and helping organize programs for Christmas and New Year celebrations. These moments will be opportunities to share God’s love, celebrate His faithfulness and encourage the hearts of both leaders and congregants.
