Each year for the past 5 years our church has hosted an international conference for church leaders around the world. This year close to 100 leaders from around the globe are coming to Ames for two weeks! Ames couldn't host everyone so a few got shipped out to the Des Moines area and for the next two weeks we are hosting a man from Nepal (between India and China.) Raj (his name is much longer, but he is gracious with us since we can't pronouce the whole thing!) arrived this weekend after traveling three days down to the plains of Iowa from "The top of the world!" (Nepal is home to 8 or the worlds 10 highest mountains.) Raj speaks English very well, and Jonah's world has been broaded to the fact that people speak more than just English and Spanish! Raj is a pastor in the capital city of Kathmandu, a city of about 5 million. His church there runs a ministry helping children caught in sex trafficing to India. He will spend three more weeks traveling the states fund raising for his ministry before returning to his wife and two kids in Nepal!
