Nepalese Revival In Nashville
A group of around 20 Nepalese who had recently immigrated to Nasvhille and were living in an Apartment complex within a mile or so of Christ Church recently walked to the church office one day.
Pastor Dan Scott thought they were probably there for assistance of some kind but it turned out that one of them, an elderly woman, had been witnessed to in a refugee camp overseas and had given her life to Christ.
However she, and the others who were not Christians, had never actually been in a church. They asked about Christ Church and they were shown around and told about the church.
They decided to attend the new Sunday night service held in the Wallace Chapel that is more contemporary in style of worship, etc.
Now a few weeks later it was announced at church today that next week 15 of them are being water baptized !!!!
I believe all except the one elderly woman that had already been converted were practicing Hindu's before now.
CC is experiencing a revival of immigrants lately. Pastor Dan told of one Adult Sunday Scool class that recently had over 80 people in it and the woman teaching it had to have interpreters to translate into Nepalese and Swahili.
Pray that this revival continues!

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
