VOF’s 5th General assembly’s glimpse

Raising voice for the voiceless

Volume: 54

Voice of Fetus, Nepal

Dear Pro-life friend and families

The mission of VOF, Nepal is to strengthen & promote the value and dignity of unborn baby in a

mother’s womb. VOF, Nepal also seriously prioritizes women in crisis-pregnancy rather than overlook their problem. It assumes that

abortion can never be a genuine solution. Rather, it believes befriending, listening, loving and helping are all critical in the vulner-

able state of these individuals in a time of crisis. VOF believes that it is very essential to make public the harsh truth about abortion

and its possible complications to the issue related to a mother's physical, mental, spiritual wellbeing, and the implications for the

family. VOF is mindful of the necessity of dealing with post-abortive mother and the family often devastated by the trauma related to

abortion. Please join us for His service! Thank you.– Soman Rai (Elisha)

Pathway to sexual purity seminars in different dates and locations

On last 25th September, 2014

VOF had an opportunity to pre-

sent the teaching on abortion and

sexual purity among the youth in

Nehemiah Institute at Mahalax-

mithan. Mr. Simon Das had taken

the class very effectively. More

than 35 youths were benefited

directly. We would like to appre-

ciate Nehemiah Institute for the

vital initiative.

Similarly, in the time Desain

festival (on 1, 2 and 5th October,

2014) VOF played a vital role to

trained more than 100 teenagers

gathered in the youth camp or-

ganized by Teenstreet, Nepal in

St. Xavier’s school compound in

Godavari, Lalitpur. The teenagers

were taught about the sexual

purity in three different classes.

Thank you Teenstreet, Nepal.

Same way, in the eve of Dewali festival (on last 23 and 24th October,

2014) VOF was invited by the youth of Balaju Koinonia Church and

Dhading youth committee for the presentation regarding sexual purity

among their youth. So, more than 80 teenagers and young adults were

benefited in Balaju Koinonia Church and more than 200 teenagers and

young adutlts were trained in KhaniKhola Koinonia Church in Dhad-

ing. All the participants were really excited with the teaching and

they really interacted without any hesitation, because the teaching was

presented with non-judgmental and loving manner. They were chal-

lenged and made to be committed for the purity saying ‘Purity is

Possible through Christ’. Thank you all who made this event possible.

Therefore Choose life (TCL) –Church leaders training in Siraha-Saptari

On last 25th September, 2014 VOF, Nepal conducted TCL training among 135 Pastor and leaders from Saptari and Siraha. The training was happened in the meet-

ing hall of Orchid Cafe at Lahan, Siraha. Soman Rai(Elisha) initiated the training teaching about the sanctity of human life by ‘Wonderfully and Uniquely created

–WUC’ presentation and secondly, he presented teaching on Abortion, its methods and its potential complications by ‘Therefore Choose Life –TCL’ DVD. In third

session, the participants were taught about the sexual abstinence education in family, parenting and adoption as an alternative to abortion, as a church response to

abortion. The question-answers session was also came about and many pastor and women leaders were clarified with that. Some of the participants shared painful

experience of their past life with tears and some of them admitted that they were listening the teaching first time. So, all were prayed for the restoration and recov-

ery from the trauma and hurtful emotional upheaval of abortion. And at last, they were given LIFE Bag (trainer bag) containing DVD, leaders guide, brochures

produced by Gabriel International (GI) for the use of their ministry in church and community.

Voice for the Voiceless (VFV) training at Zero mile, Siraha

On 26th Sept, 2014 with the active coordination of the Believers Church in Zero mile, Siraha VOF conducted ‘Voice for the voiceless’ training in the hall of

Believers Church. According to our registration record 30 Maithili and Tamang women were participated in the training. The training was instructed by Soman Rai

(Elisha) and Ruth Lama was an assistant in the training. The facilitator initiated the VFV presentation with interesting manner saying the creation story. The

women participants in training took the teaching with great excitement. A local health volunteer lady named Phuldevi Mahora presented the yellow card very

effectively in her own language, which was the highlight of the first part of training. She also told that she is going to use the card among the women in her village

and area. The presentation regarding fetal development and abortion also remained extremely awesome. The women were excited first and gloomy later. A woman

shared that she was able to indentify that she has been gone through the hurtful emotional upheaval of abortion. So, she was prayed for her inner healing as well.

Two of the participants shared that their attitude towards unborn baby and abortion is totally changed and now they are hurry to tell other.

Pro-life Presentation in different Bible Institute and training centers.

VOF Nepal prefers to work in networking and collaboration with other institutions as well. So, on last 4th September, 2014 Nehemiah Institute

prepared a platform for VOF to present Pro-life education among 17 couples from the different churches in Kathmandu. The couples were really

serious with the teaching and shared their inner-feelings to us and we prayed for them. Similarly, on 14th Sept. 2014, the Lidya Institute for

young ladies in Bhainsepati also gave an opportunity to VOF to provide life-giving teaching to the 20 young women from different parts of Ne-

pal. After the teaching, some of the young women admitted their mistake in past and they were prayed for their inner-healing as well. And they

were also given the Life bags for the use of their ministry in their village. On 19th September, 2014, VOF again presented teaching among the 13

women leaders from Kathmandu in Nehemiah Institute, which remained really productive. Thank you Nehemiah Int. and Lidya Int for your nota-

ble steps.

Chose Adoption!

Just three months ago we met a Christian lady

who shared about a woman in crisis pregnancy.

According to the lady, the pregnant woman

tried many times to abort her baby using medi-

cines but she failed to do it. So, I promised her

that we are ready to help her with all confiden-

tiality. But the lady didn’t want to go hospital

for check-up. Later she gave birth to a baby

boy, but a tragic news was that doctor found

out syphilis bacteria in the mother and baby’s

blood. The mother and baby went under medi-

cation for ten days. Now, they are fine and the

baby is adopted by a couple who used to be a

participant in our training. They had shared

their desire to adopt a baby and applied to

VOF. Now, the couple is living happily with the

baby and the mother returned to normal life.

On 6th October, 2014 Equipping People Mission (EPM) in Hetauda conducted 6 days of school in Solidarity School’s hall and Shanti Church

in Bastipur, Hetauda. More than 200 people were gathered to learn in both places. So, in the first day of the school VOF presented teaching on

the sanctity of human life, abortion and its complication, adoption and parenting as an alternative to abortion. Rajesh Rai presented a Pro-life

song which was the attraction of the program. Many people received the teaching with tears and great excitement. Many hearts were healed and

many minds were transformed. We would like to appreciate the notable work of EPM and Bro. Ruben Rai.

Pro-life seminar in Damak, Eastern Nepal.

The Jyoti Church in Damak conducted a Voice of Fetus seminar among 100 men and women of

their church. Soman Rai (Elisah) gave 5 hours of class regarding sanctity of human life, abortion

and its alternatives. They were also challenged to be the voice for the voiceless unborn babies. I

really appreciate the initiation of Elder Mukti Thulung and church leaders.

Adoption! Adoption!
