This past November and December, Leanna was in Nepal visiting WIN projects and scouting a new water project that WIN will be building in 2024. She, Amar, and our videographer stayed several days with the family of our native pastor of that village up a very remote mountain that, until recently, didn't even have a road. Working through our native leaders, we will tap into five mountain springs to supply ample drinking and irrigation water to the village. The water will enable them to grow their crops, including apple trees, virtually ending poverty in the community.
WIN Life's Transformation Network year-end church planting conferences for three nations, India, Nepal, and Bhutan, were a fantastic time of reconnecting, equipping, and encouraging hundreds of our native leaders.
After this, Leanna went to Taiwan and taught for two churches on two ends of the small country. Our native leader, Pinsu from India, also came, and it was a wonderful time of ministry and sampling the incredible culinary flavors of Asia.
They ministered to several hundred believers, a youth group and youth pastor, and a very active network of pastors whose churches work together each year to put on a big Christmas production in the city park. Even the pastors themselves learn and sing some of the songs together. Both of these churches in Taiwan are also WIN and WIN Life partners. We are deeply grateful to them.
