Nepal Disaster Relief

Initial statement

The sudden flood in the Bhotekoshi and Trishuli Rivers on Bhadra 10 (August 26, 2026) has severely affected Rasuwa, Nuwakot, Dhading, Gorkha, Chitwan, and eastern and western parts of the country of Nepal including surrounding districts. We send our heartfelt sympathy and condolences to all those who have lost their lives due to this disaster and to the bereaved families.

According to the latest information, 126 people have died, 193 people are missing, 470 people have been rescued, and more than 4,000 families have been affected. It has also been reported that more than 20,000 people may need to be relocated.

More than 4,000 families have been displaced and are staying in relief centers. Many have lost their homes, livelihoods, livestock, and most of their possessions and belongings.

Affected communities are facing serious shortages of food, safe drinking water, temporary shelter, and medical assistance. We are deeply concerned about this humanitarian crisis and recognize the urgent need for immediate relief services.

It is extremely important for the Christian community to come together and move forward in unity, cooperation, and mutual support at this difficult time.

We sincerely appeal to the Nepali and foreign churches and Christian community to stand together in prayer, financial assistance, cooperation, and support.

Nepali churches donated to the Prime Minister's Disaster Relief Fund on behalf of the Nepali Christian community nearly nrs 4,70,000 and the current fund raising from foreign remaining assistance will be delivered directly to victims flood-affected people.

Impact Statement and Next Phase Relief Plan

When we first heard about the devastating floods and destruction affecting communities in Nepal, our hearts were deeply burdened for the victims. We began by praying and crying for the affected families, asking God to protect them, comfort those who had lost loved ones, and provide for their needs. We then approached local churches and requested prayer and support. Through this process, funds were raised and contributed to the Prime Minister’s Relief Fund.

However, we believed that our responsibility should not end with financial support. We wanted to personally visit the affected communities, prepare a ground report, understand the actual needs of the people, and, if God provided the resources, bring practical relief directly to them.

During our journey, we met Pastor Yam Singh, who guided us on how to reach the affected areas. We also met believers who prayed for our journey and encouraged us. By God’s grace, we safely reached the affected communities and began our ground assessment.

We visited areas around the Trisuli River, where approximately 400 houses were reported to have been heavily damaged. In Timure, around 150 houses were affected and many people were reported missing. In Tupche, approximately 200 houses were damaged, while around 100 houses were reported damaged in the Glachi area.

The situation we witnessed was heartbreaking. According to information received locally, approximately 1,350 bodies had been recovered, while around 5,600 people were still reported missing. We also heard of extremely tragic cases where 24 bodies were found in one house and another 20 bodies were found in a single room. These experiences showed us the urgent and continuing needs of the affected communities.

During the visit, we reached Resurrection Eklesiya Church, led by Pastor Man Bahadur Rai, where we provided relief assistance. We also provided relief to Jiwan Marga Church. Brother Suraj Sunar, one of the first believers we met, helped us connect with local pastors and understand the needs of the community.

By God’s grace, the relief visit was completed safely and we returned successfully. This journey has helped us move from hearing about the disaster to seeing the situation firsthand, listening to affected people, and identifying practical needs.

Next Phase: Winter Relief for 500 People

Our next plan is to assist approximately 500 people who are still facing difficult conditions as the cold season approaches. During our interviews and ground assessment, people expressed urgent needs that go beyond immediate food relief.

We are planning to provide:

Mattresses for families who have lost household belongings or are sleeping in difficult conditions.

Warm clothes and winter essentials to help families prepare for the coming cold season.

Hygiene items for individuals and families living in vulnerable conditions.

Children’s kits containing basic items needed by affected children.

Women’s basic needs, especially essential personal and hygiene supplies.

Cooking gas cylinders, if sufficient resources are available, because this was specifically requested by affected families during our interviews.

We are now seeking prayer, partnership, and financial support from donors, ministry partners, churches, and humanitarian organizations. The support we receive will be connected directly to the needs identified through our ground visit and community interviews.

We began this journey with prayer. We then mobilized local churches, raised support, contributed to the relief effort, traveled to the affected communities, prepared a ground assessment, and distributed initial relief. Now, with the coming winter, we want to continue into the next phase by providing practical assistance to approximately 500 vulnerable people.

Our prayer is that God will provide the resources and partners needed to continue this work. We want to serve with transparency, compassion, accountability, and practical action—standing with affected families not only during the immediate disaster but also as they begin the long process of recovery and rebuilding.

The King James Bible Baptist church is a 501c3 that passes out gospel tracts and bibles in many languages in NYC. We are planning a global missions conference at the Jacob Javitz center in 2032 the latest or before. We support many missionaries including in Nepal. All funds raised here is sent immediately to national guides in Nepal who are distributing aid in Nepal. It is our goal to spread the gospel to the entire world and our priorities are souls being saved by the gospel of Jesus Christ.
