Aug 2007 – We have heard unconfirmed reports that a large number of Nepalese students are streaming into the DFW area. What is God doing with this special people?…

We have heard directly from administration that over 500 nepalese are at Northlake College but Ron recently spoke to a Nepalese Christian student and he found out that many more are a Brookfield College as well. Apparently, the DCCCD (Dallas Community College District has an agreement with UTA such that if students attend one of their campuses they will be given admission at in-state rates. Word has gotten out to Nepal and so Irving, TX has become one of the largest Nepalese communities in the U.S.

Praise the Lord as Nepal is one of the hardest places to reach in the world. God knows what he is doing. Pray that through our new Northlake ministry, UTA ministry and other new ministries, God will raise up the workers to touch these precious people.

There are over 900 international students each at two of the community colleges in the area. At one campus over half are from the little reached country of Nepal. We don’t have anyone working there? Why? Without the manpower and the difficulty in reaching community colleges because of their commuter nature, we have not been able to plant a team in the community colleges. Yet we have continued to pray.

With much prayer, God moves in special ways. Just recently, there has been movement in several colleges and churches nearby. One notable example is at Northlake College. They have over 900 international students. The international student office recently approached ISI to help start a program for international students, to help them to adjust and learn about our culture. At the same time, Irving Bible Church, just around the corner from Northlake indicated interest in ministering to international students with ISI as the go between and coach. It seems like a match made in heaven… literally. This ministry opportunity is still in its infant stages, but there is great potential. Please pray that God may work out the details to make all this happen.
