My
Sabbatical Year in America
(Perhaps
my last trip, since I am not getting younger)
Part 1
“ Six days you shall
work, and seventh day you shall rest.” Yes, I worked for 60 years and now I am
in 70th year and my Sabbatical year when I am experiencing not me
walking with God but God is walking with me even as my every moment is becoming
His movement while still procuring the mark of the beast ATM-any time mortal.
I came to America in
June to attend the General Conference of Seventh Day Adventist Community or
movement having a lot of entities to serve the world while the church is the
heart of the community. The delegates from entity leaders including the church
from the over 200 countries attended, which I was the least of the 2400
delegates. Since I did not come to see
thorns, I saw thousands of beautiful flowers of the Lord which will fade away
in eternity to live forever with the Lord. There were over 60000 in the
convention hall during Sabbaths, which is the replica of Sabbath scene of New
Earth. It was the beautiful moment in my life to see the sworn enemy of Ukraine
worshipping together with Russians, Chinese with Taiwan and so on, under the love and gracious
banner of Jesus Christ. I wait for the eternity to describe the beautiful
moments of my life. Not wishing you with details, I would like to share just a
few glimpses the joy of my Sabbatical leave.
 We voted for the new president to lead the
world SDA Community. We are the distinct people but refused to be in distance

 Big crowd
from different parts of the world besides millions watching the program on
live streams |
 With delegates from Mongolia, once closed for the
Gospel, the first missionary was the late Pr. Gerald Christo as I remember |
 With
delegates from Africa |
 Along with the delegates from Ukraine |
 With amazing Albanians, the country once sent the
Christians to the underground |
 With Koreans |
NSD delegates  |
 With China |
 With Nina Aitcheson the
author of 2026 2nd quarter lesson which I am translating |
 I got the voice for the world church. If one does not
practice Mt 5-7, no one has a right to call himself a Christian, and also be
serious about teaching and learning the Sabbath school lesson, the flagship
of Adventist teaching, and not just brush over it. This clipping was sent to
me from Spain |
  “You are
still young,” saying he handed me his book understanding Daniel and
Revelation giving me the verbal permission to translate it which I began |
 No matter where I go I am proud to be a Nepali, not by my
choice but by birth |
 Meeting pastor Phillip and Roshan, the spirit sister
Madhu and sharing the golden nuggets of God’s word from my brain was the
highlight of trip. |
I traveled
10,000 miles to share the Biblical meditation go Madhu, which I don’t get
that chance in Nepal.  |
I am in Christiansburg with my fatherly
son Jitendra, working back to be with my computer sister, getting myself busy
with translation work with a hope that my Nepali brothers and sisters be
translated when Jesus come as a result of knowing Jesus through Adventist
education which is the step beyond belief for one can be with Jesus now and the
future just based on belief, even the Devil can be with Him, for he believes in
Him. I believe to know Jesus now and experience heaven now in His presence is a
prerequisite to be the part of the citizen of
Universe and the coming kingdom of Jesus for what is the use of His
first or second coming if He is not in our heart now (2 corn 13:5, Gal 2:20, Eph 3:17, Col 1:27+. Jesus did not come to
establish a religion including Christianity
but the relationship and Yasuniti-the ethic of Jesus.
