Thanks for those who prayed after the tragic bombing on Saturday May 23 which unfortunately claimed a 3rd victim when the mother of the young 14yo girl who died on the day also succumbed 1 week later. A Hindu extremist group called Nepal Defence Army has claimed responsibility for the blast.Hundreds of Christians joined in a protest rally last Sunday (May 31), marching through the main thoroughfares in central Kathmandu calling for guarantee of religious freedom and demanding action against those involved in the bomb blast. A 27yo woman has just been arrested, apparently having admitted that she left a bag with a pressure cooker bomb in the Church premises while the morning prayers were underway. Police are still looking for the leader of the Nepal Defence Army suspecting his involvement. Keep praying about this situation that believers will act in a responsible and forgiving way.
