Matthew Chapter 5, Verse 9 begins, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” The recent massive earthquakes reminded me of a story from April 2015, one of the most devasting earthquakes in my lifetime in Nepal.
Traveling around the world and meeting people of different religions and studies, the most naturally peaceful people I’ve ever met were the Buddhist Monks. Judgement is quick and easy and many “Christians” who I’ve run across were very judgemental of my studies, practices and overall interest in these amazing humans who’ve dedicated their lives to service. They would have loved Jesus, they just didn’t know Him, they weren’t taught about Him…so are they LOST? They would only stay “lost” if we fail to become the shepherds we are commanded to become and answer Jesus Christ’s final wishe to make disciples of all nations in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Now you understand why I do this…we were commanded to by Jesus himself. Hanging around Christians at a church that becomes an Elks Club wasn’t what Jesus told us, he told us to go out and spread His message and gospel to the world.
Wherever non-believers live, we are to spread the Gospel. God has led me all over the world, even to the “far ends of the earth”, from small remote Caribbean islands, the Amazon jungle and all over South America, all over the United States, Mexico, Canada, Europe and Scandanavia. It’s been a QUEST…to find the peacemakers of the world who don’t know Jesus Christ.
Here’s one of the special outreach ministry stories about the beautiful peacemakers of Nepal, who are my fellow brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ and the ones who just don’t know Him yet.
Do YOU Want to help serve the world and serve others? Ask Jesus…”How can I reach them Father? For me, it was forgive others, surrender my life, sell everything and “FOLLOW ME” was the response, here’s my testimony – http://BibleBasedMeditation.com
On April 25th 2015 a 7.8 magnitude earthquake devastated Nepal. Many of the Kathmandu Valley’s historic monuments, buildings and temples were either completely destroyed or damaged and most tragically, it killed 9,000 people and injured 22,000.
As a fellow human, Christian or not, we were compelled to support how we could, beyond prayer and deep thought and meditation on how to help reach them with Jesus. ONE special temple jumped on eBay and started selling handmade singing bowls, artifacts and scrolls to raise funds. We purchased several things from them and then re-sold some of the items to donate more back. They were beyond appreciative and asked me why I did what I did.
This was my first chance to tell someone from another side of the world about Jesus Christ and why we do what we do. John 13:34-35 quotes Jesus saying, “A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so also you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another.” People, especially self proclaimed atheists and non-believers used to always tell me, “it’s not fair that the kid from the jungle doesn’t know Jesus, that he goes to hell” and I would reply, “it’s OUR job to go out and spread His Gospel, if they don’t know, it’s OUR fault, we were commanded to. Those were His last words…could YOU imagine if you knew the very second you were leaving this earth. Wouldn’t you be able to share your greatest wisdom, your most important message of all, right before you left? Of course you would…so did Jesus. After rising from the dead, nearly 40 days later, Jesus was just about to ascend into heaven as Matthew 28:19 reads, Jesus commanded us one last time “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, even until the end of the world.”
A NEW Outreach Ministry Fundraiser Album from “Meditation Orchestra” will be available on iTunes, Google Play, Amazon worldwide, which will continue to support many of the amazing temples throughout Nepal and allow our ministry to expand even further. We will be working on audio translations of the bible in future projects to assist with breaking through language barriers with loving kindness and respect for their beautiful culture.

BACK TO NEPAL…After the Temples were fixed, restored and back up and running, they assembled a special event and sang this, recorded it and sent us this prayer song as a thank you to share with the world. More than 300 monks and nuns from various different temples assembled together and sang this, the tone they create as a whole is something that needs to be experienced. Here’s our live audio from the center of 300. Mark 9:40 reads, “For whoever is not against us is for us.” The more accurate translations replace “unaparted” for “for us”. I never knew what it meant before I looked it up. “Seek and Ye Shall Find”
God Bless the peacemakers, wherever they reside and thank you for the missionaries and Christian outreach teams who minister in the lives of millions of people around the world, including Nepal.
