The Nathan Project

I was in Australia when this happened, but a young man named Nathan died before age 18 after playing a football game.  His parents started an organisation to provide Bibles for those who need one because the Bible was such an intergral part of his life.  "The Nathan Project" is actually a challenge to read the Bible every day for a year and talk about it in a group.

I am going to do this challenge while in Nepal.  However, meeting in a group may get a little tricky so my "group" to talk about what I am reading will be this blog.  Well, as much as I will be able to post with third world dial up speed internet and uncertain access!  Also, I will be in Nepal for 2 years so I may take the time to go slower through the Bible.  We shall see, but I do want to make sure I am relying on God and not my ownself.

I had been reading current volunteers blogs on occasion, but I have decided to stop because they have become more depressing.  I know I will have points in my life while there that will be as low as they have felt at the time of posting, but considering the fact that I'm already near that point myself?  Probably not a good idea to surround myself with more of it!

I do not want to come in with any expectations or imaginings.  My experiences in Australia really benefited from that, I believe.  There were no disappointments and I rolled with anything.  My focus now just needs to not be on what is going on around me, but on Jesus as the time for me to leave creeps up.
