‘In my distress I called to the Lord; I called out to my God. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came to his ears.’

(2 Samuel 22:7)

Tearfund has been working in Nepal since the 1970s, so our partners’ response was immediate. We’re treating injuries as well as

distributing food, clean water and temporary shelter to those who need it the most.

We know some of the most vulnerable people are in the hardest to reach places isolated villages that no one else will

reach. We have teams trekking across mountains and landslides to reach these communities with vital aid.

Please pray.

Father God, we come to you in prayer for the people of Nepal and India. We know you feel their pain and cry with them, and we pray they’ll

know your love and comfort close by. We pray for those who are mourning loved ones and for those coming

to terms with life-changing injuries. May they know your strength. Lord, protect and encourage Tearfund’s staff and partners as they work

in your name to help those in most need. We ask these things in Jesus’ name, Amen

Thank You
