Nepal Flood Update: GFA World Responds With Relief and Prayer

WILLS POINT, TX — A Nepal flood update from GFA World reveals how suddenly the disaster changed life for people already facing profound fear and uncertainty. Bishop Daniel describes communities trying to understand what remains after the waters swept through homes and infrastructure. With relief work underway and many questions still unresolved, he is asking Christians not to let Nepal’s suffering fade from their prayers.

GFA World (Gospel for Asia) President and Founder Bishop Daniel has churches that were directly affected by the flooding in Nepal. He graciously spoke with Crosswalk on Monday and provided an update on the current situation and the status of relief efforts.

Bishop Daniel said that people are “living in great fear. A lot of fear and a lot of anxiety because they just went through this incredible disaster. The waters and flooding just came down so fast and swept everything away.”

River levels rose by as much as 30 feet within 30 minutes, according to UM News.

There were two GFA World churches in particular, among many others, that were impacted. One of GFA’s churches was totally washed away, and the other is buried in mud so deep that only a small part of the roof is poking out.

Bishop Daniel went on to note that people are also in fear that more flooding will take place and that, “there’s just this fear of even going back to their areas to see if there’s anyone alive; what’s left of their houses.”
