Quick Requests for Prayer in Nepal

Hello Friends, We hope to send a more thoughtful reflection soon on the challenges and joys of our weeks in Malaysia and Bangalore, but we are reaching out for prayer as we are in a particularly challenging leg of our journey. We're in a remote corner of Nepal. Many things about it have already been inspiring, touching, and joyful, like the baptism of several church youth, many of whom have been faithfully attending Rich's Zoom classes for months. These teens inspire us and fill us with hope for the church here! But here are the challenges:
Air Quality: For those not familiar with AQI numbers, a healthy range is 0-50. Above 150 is "very unhealthy." We hit 419 today, and the lowest it's been is in the 200's. It's a poor region without city trash services, so folks burn their trash, and then ride motorcycles on dusty roads that have not had rain in weeks...it's a pile-up of reasons, but the upshot is that we're depleted. We ask your prayers for all of South Asia as the air is terrible over most of the region, and for us as we strive to teach with energy.
Stiffness: We're getting older, and it took an entire day of flights to get here. The next day we piled too many people into a small car and drove two hours each way to visit a traditional village--a well-intended outing that left us both with knees stiff and sore.
Uncertainty: We continue to be so excited for the team coming from our church in North Carolina, Triangle Grace, to build the partnership with women we got to know during their year at Duke. Visits to both of their locations have complexity and we have spent hours trying to puzzle out the best routing, navigate needed travel permits, and meet the hopes of seminary deans and local pastors, etc.
Today (Thursday Jan 29), in an hour, we begin two days of training for pastors and lay leaders, with an expected 150-200 attending today. Please pray for these days of training and for those whose ministries will be encouraged and strengthened.
That's all for now. We're so grateful to know that we have a team praying for us as we have hit a challenging stretch of this (dusty) road.
In Jesus, Lisa and Rich
