2015 ANNUALREPORT

A NOTE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

I’m excited to share this report with you as it reflects increased growth and sustainability, but even more so as there’s a personal story behind every single number. I’ve been able to meet almost every pastor, child and family in our programs. For over a decade I’ve travelled to India and Nepal and have witnessed personal transformations, hope restored, healing, education, financial empowerment and so much more.

This last year we’ve shared amazing stories about what God has done. Pastor Kamal brought earthquake relief to his village and provided 44 families with shelters. Little Sujata was given a new family on her 2nd birthday. Tulisara’s small loan has resulted in two thriving businesses.

Your investment and partnership makes these success stories possible, and I’m so thankful for you. Now please join me as we celebrate all that God has done this year through our partnership.

Thank you,

Adam J. Nevins

GlobalCommunityBeing the most predominantly Hindu na-tions in the world, India and Nepal are dif-ficult places to share the gospel. Despite India’s rapid economic growth, women, children and low caste members often struggle against oppression. Nepal is still developing its national infrastructure, re-sulting in a lack of civil support that further marginalizes the poor and uneducated. For over 20 years ServLife has part-nered with passionate Indian and Nepali leaders to empower the oppressed and share the hope of the Gospel.

TransformedCommunityYour support for pastors in unreached areas of India and Nepal is transforming communities. Pastor Kanaya’s church in west Nepal is sharing the Gospel of hope with their troubled community and experiencing the life-changing effects. “[Our neighbors] are leaving their idol worship and prostitution,” He says, “they are becoming aware that a drunken life-style is bad for them. They are improving their lives with the help of the Gospel.” Pastor Kanaya believes that God’s love will continue to change his community.

RestoredFamilyThanks to your help, Sujata received a new family to love and care for her. Sujata lost her mother in their collaps-ing house during the Nepal Earthquake. She was only one year old. Her grief-stricken father and older brother could not continue to adequately care for her. So, on her second birthday, ServLife’s Kathmandu children’s home welcomed Sujata with open arms. Now, she runs the place. Her happy loving personality has completely won over everyone, and she is thriving with her restored family.

BrighterFutureBy funding micro-loans you are hav-ing an incredible impact. Tulisara was a farmer in remote Nepal. Her family could not even afford to send their children to school, but their lives changed when she received a small business loan to begin breeding goats. Tulisara built up the busi-ness until they could sell some of the goats and buy a sewing machine. Now, they run a tailoring shop and earn more than twice what they did before. They are able to send their children to school and save for a brighter future.

RepairedWellbeingOn April 25th, 2015 a powerful earth-quake hit central Nepal. “All the houses in our village collapsed.” Pastor Kamal explains, “We can’t go back to our village because it’s very dangerous.” Your sup-port provided long term shelters, food, and water for all 44 families in Kamal’s village, as well as relief for multiple other villages. “Before the earthquake, lots of our neighbors did not like Christians,” he told us, “but after the relief we received they have changed their minds. It has opened a way for the gospel.”

PassionateSupportWe at ServLife are so thankful for our passionate supporters. You are mak-ing a difference! Landon Haffner is a great example. When 8 year-old Landon heard about the earthquake in Nepal he was very concerned. Even though his sponsored child, Sandhaya, was safe he knew others in Nepal weren’t as lucky, so he decided to do something to help. He wrote a letter asking his friends and family to support ServLife’s relief efforts. His goal was to raise $100. But he end-ed up raising about 10 times that!

“A lot of people got hurt. Some

Mommas and Daddas like mine aren’t going to be able to tuck their kids

in bed tonight. It’s sad. So, I need your help to help Nepal’s people recover

from this terrible earthquake.”
