“My Favorite Part” – HSC Nepal Testimony by Jacob Tacher

Hope Worldwide • December 31, 2015

Since my return from the HOPE worldwide Singles Corps trip to Kathmandu, questions like, “How was Nepal, Jake?” and, “What was your favorite part?” are pretty much all I’ve heard. It’s nice to talk about how great my experience was and all of that, but I’m starting to wonder if my experience is what really matters.

The two weeks I spent in Nepal were maybe the best of my life. It’s not hard to believe that spending time with 30 incredible disciples would be life changing. Add in that we did nothing but serve the needy, share our lives, and discuss the Bible in one of the coolest and most beautiful cities in the world. So yeah – Nepal was pretty incredible.

However, I’m not the center of this narrative. Jesus is, and here’s the real story.

Our group of volunteers served at HOPE worldwide’s Asha Vidhyashram School, which offers free education and meals to impoverished children in Kathmandu, Nepal.
