We’re eager to hear from our friends who are willing to serve the rural poor on Medical/Dental teams. Not a Dr? How about coming to help us make blocks & build some walls?

Praise God for his faithful provision! As we close-out the 2010 budget and move into 2011 would you pray and ask God about giving to Studio TEN? A gift of $20 will provide a daily serving of fruit for one of our children for 3 months. The “Donate” button above will take you to a page of projects that need your partnership. You can click on any one of those items to give using your credit card. Or send your tax-deductable donation to the U.S. based ministry office who will apply those funds directly in Nepal: Studio Ten Ministries, PO Box 101, Bremen, IN 46506

Dear Friends,
GOD is working miracles for some of the world’s poorest families!

Many thanks to you who have joined with the Naya Geet Church and Studio TEN Ministries to provide clean drinking water and quality education for the Nepalese families within the reach of our Kathmandu Community Center. We are excited to announce that the last payment for the land has been wired on-time to make the August 28th deadline!

The Lord’s hand is so evident in the details… It is our joy to report that nearly 20% of the total finances needed was given through those who live in the second poorest nation in the world. Our God is not limited by the condition of world economies.

Behold, the Lords’s hand is not shortened, That it cannot save; Nor His ear heavy, That it cannot hear. Isaiah 59:1

We praise the ONE who sees, hears and moves on behalf of the poor and needy. It will be awesome to hear the testimonies from those of you who gave generously and sacrificially to purchase this land for the Community Water Project and Guardian Academy. The promises of God are true and sure. Proverbs 28:27 is no exception:

He who gives to the poor will not lack,
But he who hides his eyes will have many curses.

We’ll keep you informed as we are in contact with many organizations who are working to drill wells for those who are in need of clean water. You can help with this! Spread the word… be an instrument of blessing by getting involved in the next steps. Let’s praise GOD together in what He is doing to bring attention to His great love for so many who need Him in Nepal.

There are still 10 student educational scholarships ($28/mo) that remain unfunded for the Guardian Village kids, some new staff to pay, and some shortfalls in July giving have left us a few thousand short of our monthly needs. But August isn’t over and God sees all — His hand is not shortened. Thank you, LORD!

Rejoicing in our loving Father’s great mercy,

Dan, for all at Studio TEN

We had to really dig deep and wipe out our ministry accounts to make the 3rd payment — but it was paid on time! God is good and HE is going to bless your efforts to provide some of his poorest loved ones with a plot of land for a community well and educational facility! Only $24,000 to go by end of August!

Only 2 more payments to make on the Community Well/School land! The next needs to wired by July 20th and we will have the privilege of seeing God provide $13,300 in the next few days to supply that need. Are you ready for a miracle? Just watch what God is about to do for some orphans, widows and poor that are very close to his heart!

On second thought… why not be a part of the solution and open the floodgates of blessing in your life? Proverbs 28:27 promises that “He who gives to the poor will not lack…” with the stern warning “But he who hides his eyes will have many curses” God is so good — and so faithful to those who love what He loves!

We are giving glory to God for providing half of the money for the land purchase already, through you who have sacrificially given! We still have half way to go, and we are confident that the Lord will do this!

In July and August the last two payments of $14,300 each are due. The time is approaching fast. If you’ve felt the Lord urging you to give, now is the time. We have seen sacrificial giving from many places, including in our own local church body here in Kathmandu.

Several weeks ago one of our widows gave some of her prized gold jewelry that has strong meaning in this culture. It represents savings, and wealth. She gave out of her need, and we are praying multiplied blessings in her life. Glory to God.

Thank you for your generosity and for obeying as you hear the Holy Spirit speak.

-The Studio TEN Ministries Team

As 100 of us partner with Studio TEN for $143/mo for the next 4 months, a great need will be met. This is a tremendous opportunity to purchase land and give the gift of water to so many who are suffering without it!

In our homes alone, 5 of our children and widows have contracted serious waterborne diseases in the last 8 months. This Community Water Project on the new piece of land will provide pure drinking water for everyone in the surrounding community too!
See our last post for more details about this land.

The Lord has worked awesome miracles to draw people to himself over the last 10 years. Again He is asking us to swim to the deep end of the pool – but this time it’s financial – $57,200 to be exact. (Go here for giving options!)

God has clearly thrown the door wide open for the Kathmandu Community Center to purchase a piece of land that provides access to a road.

1) We haven’t had a drop of city water for the last 9 months! Massive urban sprawl and a morally bankrupt political system leaves no relief in sight. But we can bore a deep well on this land!

2) A road will permit the surrounding community to easily come and collect the clean water that we are going to provide for them at our cost of pumping it. Additionally, a trustworthy bottled-water company could provide jobs & generate income for our women’s co-op to make loans for other critical micro-business ventures among the poor. The Church giving what the community needs to stay healthy. YES! Blessed to be a blessing in every way!!!

3) Pure water means health and clean clothes for the children and widows of Guardian Village! We can’t properly bathe or flush our toilets regularly. But our God is wonderfully providing for that need through this project!

4) Water means that we can start our long-awaited aquaponics project. Quality organic produce and fish protein for our Guardian Village family and a potential for income generation. It’s all planned and paid for – just add water!

5) Road access and additional area will enable us to start the Guardian Academy at the Kathmandu Community Center! Guardian Academy will eventually be 2 schools in one: One international school by day for those who can pay tuition. And, one in the evening for the average Nepali who has been deprived of an education. Illiteracy among women is 76% and 40% for Nepalese men.

The LORD is opening doors and HIS zeal will accomplish this!

There are 15 days remaining to make the first $14,300 payment (x 4 mo.)

God intimately cares about your faithful investment of prayer and financial offering – extending justice to the poor! And, for our part, we are ever mindful and extremely grateful that you are full partners in the abundant blessings of serving these precious ones.

Partner with us to provide clean water to a community! Your gift will go towards the cost of digging a new well with a filtration system so that clean drinking water is provided to a community in need.

“Unsafe water, inadequate sanitation and the lack of hygiene claim the lives of an estimated 2.2 million children under the age of five every year,” said Dr. Maria Neria, WHO Director of Public Health and the Environment. “The impact of diarrheal diseases [alone] in children under 15 is greater than the combined impact of HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis.” Full Article
