Earthquake Damage

I have had many people ask about the earthquake damage. It really depended on what neighborhood or village you were in if there was any damage.

Some were huge cracks, some crumbling bricks and other whole houses that were collapsed.

A famous tourist attraction- Durbar Square completely devastated by the earthquake.

There is a lot of fear still in peoples hearts.
They are afraid that there will be another earthquake (there was about 5 aftershocks while we were there). They are afraid that they wont be able to find a new house or even afford it.

One of the houses in the neighborhood we stayed. Our friends were near in when the earthquake hit.

We went to a tent city run by the military for ministry our first two days in Nepal. We sat in many tents and heard many stories. They were all stories of fear. Stories of lost jobs. Stories of hopelessness. So many people displaced without someone (God) to cling to when times are hard. No one to trust in. No one to comfort them. It was hard to hear the stories and know that they don't have The Lord on their side helping them and fighting for them. We prayed for them and encouraged them and let them know that they aren't alone, that people even half way across the world are thinking of them.
