Mani and Dahn

A couple months ago Chris M. saw a Nepali man trying to salvage a large bookcase from a dumpster and bring it into his apartment. Since he wasn’t getting very far on his own Chris helped him out. The man and his wife, Mani and Dahn, were super thankful, but communication was very limited (could only use gestures) since Mani is deaf and his wife is mute.

We started praying for an ASL interpreter and about two weeks later God connected us with one. They went together to the apartment in order to get to know him and share the gospel, and they found that the family had been adopting many of the Mormon teachings, since the Mormons ministered there often. Mani and Dahn had been considering being baptized into the Mormon church, but they agreed to attend a Christian ASL church with the interpreter.

The couple, plus their 3 kids, have since rejected the Mormon teachings and are attending the ASL church to pursue the truth. Praise God! Please pray for this family, that God would continue revealing truth to their hearts and would use them, through their passion and transformation, to be a witness to other Nepali families around them. Also pray for God to bring someone into their lives who can consistently work with and disciple them. Thanks!
