​One of four 3,300 liter fresh water tanks are for the Poguwatu Village Sharon and I visited some 16 months earlier. The four tanks

At the start of 2025 David Marshall Kealy with son Tim spent time with Ministry Partner Mercy Indonesia. Peduli means care or concern and that is the working phrase of all they do in meeting the physical and spiritual needs of all they reach across hundreds of Indonesia Islands. 

The invitation to help Pastor Paulus Wiratno included speaking at their daily Chapel sessions, visiting their Elderly Ministry, visiting Imanuel Ello the broadcaster of Dian Mandiri Radio Station, lecture for radio station staff and volunteers, dedicate a new radio station building and dedication of four fresh water tanks for the Poguwatu Village.

Ministry included my design of a campus in Nepal on a very steep terraced mountain side. In November 54 campers and 16 leaders gathered for a full week BEEP Camp at Bethany House Bible Training Center, these youth are from 15 different churches from the region, some of them traveled day-long journeys and your prayers are appreciated for each of them as they return with greater skill to share their faith in God. It was the first formal use of the new building that I designed just a few years ago. READ ON !

What is BEEP camp you ask. 
Our NEPAL Partner leads BEEP which stands for Biblical Education and Evangelism Program (BEEP) Camp is geared toward an intensive discipleship program that helps churches disciple the young generation and mobilize them to reach their friends in communities, schools, and universities. 

Also on the site we have funded the fence you see. Also the restoration of a pond and their fresh water supply from two local streams complete their ability to use the site now. 

     As I draft this BLOG our world is full of challenges on many fronts. It is refreshing to know the hope that is in the life and sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ. Sharon and I are blessed with dear friends and supporters, supporters that facilitate our ongoing ministry. We are blessed beyond measure; may God be praised and pleased. One day we want to hear, "well done, thou good and faithful servant!".

     Today I write to friends remembering a wedding anniversary and another responding to fresh water systems we provide to our global ministry partners. More on that at another time. Today I reflect on a Kealy Quotes from February 2001. Prayer for India trip was the heading. 

         Here goes; “Prayer is in order for safety of travel and health while traveling in the India subcontinent. David will participate in a conference for 400 pastors. His emphasis will be the use of radio as a tool to help build the church. Only 54 of the pastors have formal Bible training due to the rapid grower of the church in recent years as the Dalits people embrace the claims of the Gospel of our Savior, Jesus Christ”.

​     A ministry partner of ours in Nepal is helping a church in a Dalit community near their outreach at the Bethany House Bible Training Center. They are in drastic need of a fresh water system. Details are being developed including the design and budgeting for this important support of the Dalit population. To quote Pastor Matt Hannan, “when love is felt, the message is heard!” Jesus taught and He healed. The preaching and teaching and living out of the word of God is the focus of the ministries yet they always find in remote areas poor health resulting from inadequate fresh water. The provision of fresh water is the healing that takes place. May Jesus be praised with this two-fold outreach model being used.

Creating a training campus on a steep site seemed more than challenging. Is it possible I questioned. Building on a very steep site terraced for planting corn and grazing for large animals was what was available in Nepal by our partner ministry. First a survey of the site took place. Yes it's possible, let's proceed. Fencing of the property provided safety and defined the perimeter of the property. Then providing water was required and a pond was improved and water from two local streams filled it in due time.
A historic house made with packed mud blocks was crumbling and needed to be removed for construction to begin. Local workers are hard at work building the campus that is already being used for training, even before it is completely ready. Even in remote Nepal the good news of the saving Grace of our LORD Jesus Christ is making an impact on people of all ages. It is rewarding to be a smart; part of this outreach.

In our ministry globally we sometimes engage with Christians in countries where their very lifestyle resilience (noun: the act of springing back, rebounding, or resiling) is stretched. We do not mention the countries for the protection of those we partner with as they reach out with the saving love of God's grace. 

One current report includes; "Today millions of (restricted country) face enormous challenges including severe food insecurity, lack of basic health services, employment access to education, gender apartheid, and consequences of natural disaster, (loss of loved ones, homes and livelihood). Mental health of women inside the country has continued to diminish as women's rights and freedoms have been curtailed. This loss of rights for women includes: prohibited education past sixth grade, very minimal ability to work, and limited freedom of movement outside the home. The situation brings the darkness of hopelessness."

Pray for people who need hope while living under stressful political and oppressive regimes as God's ambassadors living nearby help them while sharing the saving love of God through the life and sacrifice of His one and only son, Jesus.

And pray for us as we encourage the national leaders we support. 

“If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me.” John 14:3

    In our daily devotional reading Bill Crowder shares AT HOME WITH JESUS in April 2024.“There’s no place like home,” says Dorothy clicking the heels of her ruby slippers. In The Wizard of Oz, that was all it took to magically transport Dorothy and Toto from Oz back to their home in Kansas.
    Unfortunately, there aren’t enough ruby slippers for everyone. Although many share Dorothy’s longing for home, finding that home - a place to belong - is sometimes easier said than done. 
    The night before the cross, Jesus assured His friends of that home, saying, “My Fathers house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?” (John 14:2) A home where we are welcomed and loved.
    Yet we can be at home now too. We’re part of a family - God’s church, and we live in community with our brothers and sisters in Christ. Until the day Jesus takes us to the home our hearts long for, we can live in His peace and Joy. We’re always home with Him.”
  
Knowing we will be reunited with family and loved ones for eternity with God who loves us beyond measure is comforting. This love is confirmed by God sending His son Jesus to atone for our sinful nature. That is God’s plan! That plan I embrace.
