Mountainside Village in Nepal

Dear Friends,

Our coworker in Nepal writes on March 12, 2010: “We again want to bring this to your knowledge that we are suffering more because of electricity shortage in our country. From today load shedding is increased to yet one hour more. Now the total load shedding hours are 84 hours weekly (12 hours daily). The situation is getting worse. Please pray for this situation.” This means that 12 hours of electricity are cut each day leaving only a few hours when the power is on. Please see our urgent request below.

Urgent Need: Nepal Studio

Our studio in Nepal produces gospel radio programs for Asia and Africa to reach villages just like the one in the above picture. Our coworkers there are presently in need of a Power Backup to provide electrical power during the hours that the electricity is off. Nepal is experiencing a shortage of electrical power due to reduced rainfall and low water supply for the hydroelectric plant and also due to increased consumers of electricity in Nepal. The situation seems to be getting worse instead of better. See BBC News Article at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/8485665.stm

Our present need is $3,000 to purchase a Power Backup. Would you consider making a donation to Watchmen Radio Ministries International to help meet this urgent need. Please go to http://www.watchmenradio.org/nepalstudio.htm for instructions on how to donate. Your help at this time would be greatly appreciated and enable our coworkers in Nepal to carry on with their work.

God bless you!

Yours in His Service,

Alex Dodson, President
