Iris Global Nepal COVID-19 Update

Written by Joel and Tammy DeBortoli

Blessings to all of you from Nepal!
We pray that all of you are well and are maximizing this amazing time in history for the glory of our God! We pray that you are all using this time to grow in intimacy with the Father through His Holy Spirit.

“Arise, shine; for your light has come, And the glory of the LORD has risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the earth And deep darkness the peoples; But the LORD will rise upon you And His glory will appear upon you.” Isaiah 60:1-2

We are doing well here in Nepal as we are entering into our fourth week of ‘lockdown.’ Even though we should remain in our houses, the police and army in our area have given us favor to be able to visit our kids home, our rehab, and get out to feed our street friends who are really struggling to get food. There are only a handful of confirmed cases at this time here so COVID-19 hasn’t really affected Nepal...we are thankful for that. We are able to still hold fellowships in three places: our kids home, our rehab center, and our guest house. Last week, a single mother who came to our rehab fellowship with one of our staff got healed, delivered of demonic oppression, and gave her life to Jesus!!!! His kingdom cannot be ‘locked down!’

God has indicated to us that we are to encourage the believers during this time so we are going to post 10 of our most memorable testimonies during our time in Nepal so far on YouTube. We want everyone to know how amazing, how powerful, and how loving God is and to be expectant for Him to do miraculous things in and through you. The first one is here:


Please check back to our YouTube channel daily to see the newly added testimonies.

One last word of encouragement:

“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God.” Romans 8:18-19

Creation is waiting for us, as children of God, to reveal ourselves to the world!

Love, love, love!
