Name: Sabina Basnet.
Age: 22 Martial Status: Single Religion: Christain Background: She is from an orphanage. Her father was died because of a devil sprit when they were not Christian. Then after they heard the Gospel then she became Christian. While she was telling us her story she was crying and saying to us, if we had been Christian before then we would not be missing our father. So she was planning and praying, "if I earn money in the future, I will take the Gospel to the remote area so that other people will not miss their parents and family, because of devil sprit. We know devil sprit/Satan is afraid only of Jesus Christ name and he is the King of Kings and he is most powerful of all". Then she worked as a labor in house plastering to earn money. She mixed send, cement and water and carry supply for the plastering master which is heavy and hard work for women. This is mostly male person work, but she was doing this work for the money. She don’t have alternative way for earning money because she does not have education for job and no father to provide basic needs. Her brother was a traditional healer (witch doctor), they try to use the devil sprit power to heal people when people get sick. But receintly her brother also became Christian. We know the Lord is the only healer. So please pray for her brother now too. She heard about RTDC through a former RTDC student and connected the local village pastor for the recommendation, and now she is here. She wants to open a tailoring to earn money and use that money to spread word of GOD/ share gospel to remote village and want to save other people lives, especially those who are missing their parents because of devil sprit. ` |
Name: Nabina Rai
Age: 17 Marital Status: Single Religion: Christian Background: She is poor family background. She has big family. She is from a remote area. It takes 1 day morning to night travel by foot, then one full day by local bus, then one full day and night by highway bus then the next morning she arrived. Her travel takes more hours then to travel from USA to Nepal. When she shared the story of her journey we thought that we are listening to an ancient story, and we all are proud of RTDC that we are able to reach that far into the remote areas. Because of the remoteness, tailoring or the making charge (labor charge) is very expensive. Our past students have told us shirt making charge (labor charge) is 400-500 rupees, because they don’t have alternative way. They have to pay 400-500 rupees or they have to walk full day by foot to reach other tailoring shops, so she wants to open tailoring and become a self dependent lady. Note: Normal labor fee in Kathmandu is 200-250 rupees. |

In her village this is easy way to earn money. She wants to share gospel as a missionary and extend his kingdom, but she doesn't have funds to do this work. She was praying for this and this time she got this chance to join RTDC. She is planning to open a tailoring business and support her gospel work. At first she wants to earn money, then she will give support to her church and her gospel work as a missionary even she is girl. Please pray for her, we are going to product a missionary in the village too. |
Name: Bhim maya Tamang
Age: 27 Marital Status: Married (8 years son) Religion: Christian Background: She is uneducated and poor family background. She has one 8 year old son and husband. She had trouble in her delivery time and her son also has medical trouble. She is uneducated, that’s why she didn’t get any opportunity and job to earn money. She needs treatment money for her son because he is unhealthy much of the time. In RTDC only ladies can get this chance, so her husband is caring for their son and managing all things at home and sent her for sewing with big hope for her in the future. At RTDC, many times she is saying now, "I am uneducated so I can’t do this sewing". But we are just giving her advice and encouragement, "You can do this. We hope you will be our best student, don’t worry the Lord will give you knowledge so you can do easily, only you just keep learning and pray". This week also she came to ask, "may I go to my house or can I learn"? We told her, "you can learn and do all this". Now she is ok. Please pray her also because some time they don’t have hope because of being uneducated. They think; How can I write? How can I divide? How can I multiply? How can I memorize? So please pray for her. |
Name: Somati Thokar
Age: 24 Marital Status: Married (4 years daughter) Religion: Buddhist Background: She discriminated by her family. She has no good relationship with her husband, but she does not want to share other about it. That is their personal affairs. Maybe when she will get close to us after some weeks she will can tell us her real story. Her husbands family also hates her. So she wants to self depend lady to fulfill her desire and small 4 year old daughter. She left her daughter with at other relatives house during the 4 month training, even though her husband and their parents are home. Her husband and other family are Christian, only she is non-Christian. In my opinion and thought because of Buddhist –Christian they have no good relationship between her husband and her. Maybe she don’t want to be Christian and her husband don’t want to Buddhist. Maybe in future she will accept the Christ and they will love her. We wish for her and pray for her, that the Lord would change her heart and mind, if it will be possible. If this happened like this, through the Lord RTDC is able to join the broken hearts, not only to help her become self depended business lady. Please pray for her. |
