April 25, 2015 a major 8.1 magnitude earthquake, centered in Barpak, struck the Nepali nation causing widespread destruction. News reports for days focused on the devastation within the Kathmandu capital and surrounding areas. Relief organizations quickly spread throughout the surrounding areas to assist with the clean-up and relief. Although promises were made to help those in the mountain areas, little assistance was provided. The “Friends of Nepal” suddenly found themselves with the opportunity to truly meet goals and Reach the Unreached as never before.
During the next few months, thousands of dollars were raised by concerned Christians for the purpose of sending food, medicine, blankets and plastic sheeting for make-shift dwellings to provide temporary housing from the cold, snow and rain as virtually all buildings were destroyed in the quake. During this relief effort, many new contacts and villages were discovered and with them many new needs. The goal of the group was and continues to be to Reach the Unreached in the mountains as the Nepali government and International relief organizations have continued to be focused on the more densely populated plains area of Nepal.
Mr. Ghale, with the assistance of Bethel Christian Center and some caring “Friends of Nepal” has been working on obtaining a PhD in Business Administration for the purpose of documenting and building assistance methods for the Unreached in the mountains of Nepal. As he nears completion of his degree and the scope of the needs continues to grow, a decision has been made to begin a Nepali based non-profit Non-Government Organization (NGO) to handle the finances and relief/developmental efforts within Nepal. This organization is named Reaching the Unreached.
Bethel Christian Center and the “Friends of Nepal” supports this organization through the offices of Reaching the Unreached, NGO, by raising funds and awareness of the physical and spiritual of the congregation who in turn provide assistances to all the people in the Barpak area regardless of any religious affiliations. All funds raised via this ministry is forwarded to the Reaching the Unreached organization in Nepal for distribution. All administrative costs are born by the support group in the United States and Europe through Bethel Christian Center.
The financial needs to support this organization is immense yet each day we see tremendous needs met. We invite you to join us in donating to support this cause.
