News
As many of you know, an earthquake measuring 7.9 on the Richter Scale struck west of the ancient Nepali capital of Kathmandu, Pokhara, on Saturday 25 April 2015, at 11:41am Nepal local time. It is the most powerful earthquake to hit the region in 81 years. We will be updating the website as details of our response are worked out. In the meantime, this is the information we can share and that can guide you in any questions you receive:
- We continue to be in prayer.
- We have been in contact and confirmed that all of our missionaries and their families are safe.
- UMCOR is preparing a response, working through local and international partners.
