It is good that these efforts on behalf of others can be combined with opportunities for public benefit and fellowship as charity was able to donate around £9,000 for funeral and Covid-19 relief and recovery efforts around the world during the year.
Because of the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown, the Charity continued to meet online via Zoom which enabled people from all around the world to participate in the service together and worship God at the same time as well as help the people in need. This has helped people to to feel connected in this unsual time and reduce the sense of isolation immensely.
In addition, for the advancement of the Christian faith and to teach sound Biblical doctrine, the Charity organised regular online bible traning sessions for the pastors and leaders of Nepali churches in the UK and around the world.
