I'm so sad to have to report that another quake hit Nepal today. This doesn't appear to be an aftershock. It registered 7.3. Almost as large as the first major quake 3 weeks ago. More people are dead. More are injured. More are homeless.
Our partner Dan and his family were up in Kavre working with their shelter team. Kavre happened to be right in the middle of the epicentre. They are physically fine; but they are as busy as ever.
Your donations have gone to pay for food, clothing, shelter and medical expenses for victims of the quake. Boutique non profits like Conduit, working directly with people on the ground have been very effective in getting relief to people.
Thank you for your support. We are sending 100% of your donations as we receive them. We are thankful that you are trusting us to be a conduit of your generosity.
Please continue to pray for our friends in Nepal. We will update as we have more information.

The photos below.
1. The picture of the mountain was taken seconds after the quake. The plumes of smoke are actually plumes of dust from collapsing structures.
2. Dan and his family are helping to build temporary shelters for the wounded and homeless. This photo is of a family who lost their home and are recovering from serious injuries. From Dan "Half our team is putting up a new shelter for a family whose tent was shredded in a windstorm last night. We are taking shelter from a pouring rain near Sinderpalchowk. This break is giving us a chance to catch up with a family we helped a few days ago. Landslide risks are great up here. Please pray for these dear people"

The photo below is Salina's great grandmother. Salina was the little girl pulled from a pile of rock. Her grandfather carried her to a hospital where she was operated on by a CNN reporter/ surgeon. Here she is coming back to the community center (since her home was destroyed) We anticipate that they may have an influx of kids at the children's home, considering some list their parents.
These are photos of children who are being helped and loved on by our friends at Guardian Village. They told us today that they are using your funds to purchase necessities for the hundreds of people who are living in the courtyard of Guardian Village.
People are coming to Christ. The guardian village community has a whole new circle of influence. They went into the villages before, but now those in the villages are coming to them.
Guardian Village has been a place to protect women and children from being trafficked. The kids have a safe and loving environment to grow up in and the women earn a living wage making handicrafts.
There are traffickers posing as earthquake relief workers who are getting women to come with them and are taking them abroad to work in brothels. There are Nepalese people who are terribly vulnerable right now. Sex traffickers flood into disaster areas like this when the population is dispersed, oppressed and separated. It happened in Haiti. We can be certain it's happening here. We are making every attempt we can to create safe environments.
Please continue to pray. Continue to share. And if you can, please donate. Your funds are needed and going directly to assisting people like Salina. 100% of your donations to Conduit are being sent directly to assist in the relief efforts. Thank you. Read less

Fellow Conduits-
Things are moving very swiftly here at Basecamp Conduit Mission. Your unbelievable response to our call to action yesterday has had everyone racing to facilitate the outpouring of grace and mercy. Well done. We crested the $11,000 mark in total charitable giving to the Guardian Village in Nepal. I wanted to personally say thank you, and please, PLEASE keep the ball rolling. We need you to continue liking FB posts, forwarding letters, and re-tweeting updates. We thank you in advance for continuing to partner with us as we open up the Conduit and continue getting resources to Nepal.
I want to share with you from my heart for a moment. Can we be very real and raw with each other? I want you to know that we absolutely applaud the work that is getting done, but I want you to know WHY. Why we are so encouraged. Why we are so engaged. And why we are so tenacious.
I want you to know that we are very deliberate about the things we are sharing with you. The news, the internet, the headlines, …they are full of stories of destruction, loss, and pain. But I want you to know that you are not giving to destruction, you are not giving to loss, and you are not giving to pain. Yes, those elements are present and we are all fighting the unsettling in our spirits that may leave us just below the threshold of crying… but even in these times, what we have is what separates us from the fate of the world. We have HOPE. And by giving, we are sending HOPE. And we are sending HOPE to fellow Conduits who are administering HOPE in the face of danger and circumstances we frankly just do not comprehend.
I want to share with you some recent updates from Guardian Village:
“We saw amazing things worked by God yesterday. We have been able to move critical patients into a caring environment. They are going to live! One family was brought directly to our Community Center from the worst hit spot in Nepal. The mother and child were badly wounded. I drove them immediately to our newly discovered hospital that is helping in awesome ways. I had one of our team monitoring the unresponsive baby’s pulse as I sped through the city. When I had to stop the jeep and run around to do CPR we were all speaking life in Jesus’s name. The baby woke up and we got him into ER where we had team members and doctors standing by for us. God is Good!”
And another:
“Please check out CNN from yesterday. We prayed (especially Kristi) this little girl, Saleena, alive one long night when she was comatose. The doctors, in what I used to consider one of the finest hospitals in Nepal, told her grandfather to take her home and let her die!! We prayed, as you were praying, and God saved her life. I believe he is going to save her dying grandfather as well. Check out the story HERE and see the teddy bear Kristi gave her before she went unconscious the first day we met her. She woke up from surgery asking for Kristi. God is Good!!”
Friends, we subscribe to a message of HOPE. These stories, and many more to come, are beautiful examples of how the Lord redeems and turns what the enemy means for destruction into stories of unimaginable triumph, redeemed souls, and miraculously saved lives. In fact, reports are coming in from Guardian Village we literally can not keep up with posting them all! Our God is in the business of delivering HOPE in the face of all that is evil. God is Good!
So thank you for partnering Conduits. You are the tribe- you are our tribe. And we are thankful to stand shoulder to shoulder with you, and shoulder to shoulder with our fellow Conduits in Nepal…delivering HOPE. Even as I type, my inbox is dinging- more donations coming in. You’re encouraging. You’re engaged. You’re tenacious.
Thank you with all the sincerity in our hearts. And again, we ask you to keep going. Keep posting, liking, and retweeting. Keep asking for others to share, donate, and connect to the Conduit. But remember WHY. And remember the many, many beautiful people in Nepal.
David Christopher, Conduit Mission

Sweet 9 yr old Sun Maya, orphaned, dug out from rubble after many hours and airlifted to the hospital where we have the majority of folks who need surgery. The majority of her large bones are broken. We've been by her side since she arrived. In OT now. Please pray. This little dear managed a little smile about the teddy we brought her.
