Pray for Phurpoo

Seven years ago an earthquake buried our main Hyolmo village and most of my family and friends died. Two years ago we had severe flooding that washed away all of our roads and many of our houses. Soon after these disasters outsiders came to help us rebuild, but they quickly dwindled away. The only people who stayed long term were Christians. I’m not sure what I think about being Christian since I follow Tibetan Buddhism, but I know the Christians truly care about us.

“But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.” Isaiah 53:5-6

God, even as You sent Jesus as an infant, You knew He would one day go to the cross to be pierced for our transgressions that would bring us peace with You. The Hyolmo people are still like sheep who are going their own way. May You take the Gospel to the heights of the mountains through digital tools that the Hyolmo would know of the peace that could be theirs.

” Therefore my people shall know my name. Therefore in that day they shall know that it is I who speak; here I am.” How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.”” Isaiah 52:6-7
