We participate with
the people of Nepal and India these days. Praying for them constantly. Again we are
reminded of the 4 parts of Catastrophes.
We as Church and Mission can (and should) take part in all four parts. We must not forget the 4e: Trauma Care part. Many of Nepal's 26,494,504 people (in 2011) + tourists + many millions in India find
it difficult to sleep these days. Filled with worry, fear and trauma.
We can now help with the relief and rehabilitation, but my experience is that the Trauma Care must go hand in hand even from the beginning. Not only after 5-6 months.
We hope and pray that
much material support will help the people of Nepal right now but also at the
same time even now from the beginning, the peace of God will be there, directly
from God and through God's People in Nepal. Ingvar
