I just wanted to know the status of what everyone is doing and how things are proceeding because next now if you see the Our timeline Let me just share that we have One submission coming up right submission. It is actually to do with Let me just share the screen so you can take a look Window I guess you can see that is it coming up. Yeah, okay, so we have one coming up next Tuesday Okay So, you know, I just need to reword this a little bit, you know Actually, what I've mentioned here is that you have to submit a draft of the paper With your current status. Okay, so it is actually a draft of your current status Okay, so it's not a draft of the paper. I realize that That you would not have started writing the paper as yet, right? We are still in the Maybe investigation stage of the report. You're still in the studying and putting together material So you may not be at that stage of actually starting to write which you may do You know probably by next month. So So what we will do is you just have to submit maybe a one-page writer about the status of your the current status of of your project work right so for example Let me so this is I hope this is clear. So it's on our before 9 a.m. On Tuesday the first of March, right? So so whatever the status is, you know Just wanted to know that So that we know what each person is doing. So I get to know what each person is doing so that if there is any You know guidance that's required if there's any course correction. That's required. I can share that with you so so you just need to give me An update on the status so you can include things like okay What is the material that you've been studying that you've been preparing? Just go ahead and mention that so you of course you put the topic right on the top and then you mentioned the the material that you've been Background material that you've been preparing whatever you've been reading whatever you've been preparing So that will give me an idea and maybe I can suggest Some additional readings or some things that that can be useful helpful some other resources on the topic so you could do that so you could also mention You know from where I don't know if there is any links internet links Please hype you mentioned that if any pages that you've seen any videos that you've been watching Just put the link so I can I can go through that I Can take a look at that I can just review that and see if it is useful. I'll be able to just skim through it, of course and The second part of it is if you've come to it for those of you who are like meeting with people What interviewing people just mentioned that okay? I've met so many people you know mentioned the number and also Kind of interactions that you had Or you've maybe you've called You know so many people and number of people so you mentioned that and say, okay, I've called So many people and this has been the outcome Or maybe you've been using questionnaires and you've been sending out questionnaires You've been getting responses. You could mention that also. Okay, and And and see what kind of responses that you've been getting you know in case of questionnaires if You know if it's it is satisfactory, right? If people have been able to respond with enough information then we could probably we could see if if you know the The right kind of information that you required is not you're not getting that so maybe we could relook and see you care How else can we you know, maybe we need to reframe things reword? things a bit so I mean the questions a bit so We could look into that. Okay, so so that is about your submission on or before March 1st 9 a.m. Tuesday, so then we can discuss that On on Wednesday. Okay, so that's about it But today I just want to know is there any any help or any Maybe each of us can take some time to just share where things are what you've been doing any difficulties faced How things are progressing. Okay, maybe Thomas, Conan, Dave, you know, you guys can just share and Yeah Probably Thomas you can start followed by Conan and then Dave So Thomas is a revival in Karnataka, right? So how's that going? How's the background work? background check What's the problem any update on the progress? Yes, first we can able to Contact with the person in one way or my soul only two districts can able to get some informations Okay, so we try to each other districts as well Okay, so all the other districts do you have contacts in all the other districts? That's the problem other districts. I don't have contacts. I'm searching anybody Somebody there to reach out like that. I see. Okay. Okay Because I think you will need to do that quickly Maybe a church there or You know Something of that sort, right? Maybe like each district will definitely have some church some But what kind of like contacts are you Getting in touch with like even these two Mandia and the other district, right? So like What kind of are they pastors are they? ministers No They're friends. They're churchgovers. I check with them. They're families Came to serve the salvation through a missionary long back the forefathers, okay That time they had a such a move of God where one street There's a church called Saudi Memorial Church. That's a church. Okay, that's the whole street There are a lot of Christians. I visited once that's why you called and check how the things are done Okay, so their parents sold everything Somewhere in the village and came to stay near the church just to attend the service and hear the sermon of Saudi the missionary So that kind of movement in that time So I called that person and they know the things and how the how the things work there Therefore fathers and all information but today only Just one or two independent churches are there and Tradition churches have become so tradition. They're not much work. So that is why the work has stopped Long before the what mysterious did today. We cannot see that progress because nobody taken that burden to carry forward Like that Amid the persons those are no very well like that Okay, so it will also. Yeah, this is first person accounts, right? In the sense of people who actually experienced the revival who are there, so that's wonderful So maybe you can check with them, you know, who was the pastor there or who? Who were the ministers there and who who else, you know was there around that time? So you can so it'll just help validate, you know their account, you know, whatever they have experienced and You know because it's just not one person saying it but you have two others Maybe, you know, like what of God says two or three witnesses, right? Every word is established. So I mean so just to get like three different or four different perspectives of the same event If they were there at that time, so that would be really useful so Yeah So it can be people who are there who are part of it people who I mean it'll be great if you know if Anybody from that family of that missionary if you could contact Any idea Thomas that mission he was there It's not family. I didn't know us because they're from, you know, London. They came here and preached I don't know there is here But the people who say from that missionary They're still living there as the generation after generation like that only I met that family I try to reach some of the pastors there Yeah, so maybe they interacted with this person, you know with this missionary who came down and When if you check online, maybe I mean you might be able to find out also like if you know from which church, you know, he came Like if it's some denominational church normally there will be a track there will be a record of Who served when and then You can even you know, maybe get in touch with the family Get in touch with some of you know, the next generation or the generation after that and then Who knows, you know, they will be able to give some valid information also that but also, you know Further add strength to whatever you're presenting right? Whatever you're putting together says and rather than just being you know one person one one person's Viewpoint it would be two three others and also people from the family so it'll be helpful so you can try that out Yeah, so so Thomas I let me just share You know about the districts, right so So you have all these districts, I hope it's coming on the screen. Yeah, so you have all these districts It's be there, you know Gulburgy, this Gulburga, Vijay Purag, yeah, so all these districts are there So you will have to move a little quicker in order to get the information right so I'm sure you will be able to get so, you know, if you just break it down. How many are there? I think 26 I am not sure one two three four five six I think 32 districts are Yeah 32 so so then you can you know quickly divided and say maybe in a week's time, you know, or maybe even quicker than that you can you know take Contact probably six to seven cover six to seven districts in a day and then you can finish that in a week So like if you do that then Getting that information is fine and then once you do that then you know, you can you can just follow up on that and Keep doing it But then you you try to you know have something like this in front of you These are the districts you list down the districts and And then you can list down okay in right show who are the you know, what is the church? Yeah, I'm sure you know the traditional churches the websites will be there You know CSI or AG and you can find out if they were there around that time Excuse me and Yeah, so something on those lines Um Yeah, but you'll have to you know get more into this right now. It's my sur and Monday. I said Right, right? My sur and Monday. Yeah, I should also once visit it But I'm trying to get the information their method is movement is very Very beautiful at that time, but I didn't know much Okay, okay, and maybe you know some some of these moves Whatever has happened would have been across Districts even you know, it may not be localized to one district. It may have you know being neighboring districts Also, people would have come and would have you know heard about the same kind of move of God and and so So that also would be there so you'll be able to cover things quicker. So but the thing is to find out, okay, I Mean if you don't know people over there Best thing is to you know, just to look into look online and see You know, what is the church? What are the You know, what is the church which is doing ministry and then and then try to contact the present pastor and and then you know They definitely they'll be able to give some information about who was there earlier prior to them and and so on So you can you know, take it from there and then move quickly and cover the rest. Yeah, so So I one thing that I would say is that you just do it regularly consistently and also Try to you know, quickly finish it Then at least the information gathering stage, then you can think about how to put it together right and and then you know, you're you're doing your Your your recommendations, right, you're doing a study and then so this information is very important so this needs to be you know Quickly gathered so that you can evaluate, you know, you're going to evaluate and see okay. What happens? So it's a lot of work So so I would suggest you know, if you feel that it's even right now I know you said Karnataka, but then even right now if you feel that okay It's too much you can restrict to South Karnataka or coastal Karnataka or North Karnataka You know, you can even I think those are the big chunks, you know central Karnataka So you can you can even do that, you know, like belgavi uttara Kannada Go to P Dakshina Kannada, Kodago, you know, all this would be the coastal That is a you know, the West Coast so you could you could even focus like that Okay, so so that you can go in depth into what happened rather than a very Superficial thing. So but I leave it to you. So If you feel that you want to break it up that way, that's also fine. Yeah That's a great suggestion past because it's quite difficult to go that and do the Study about this 32 districts. I can check out. How can I can do a South or Coast or not? Yeah, I think about it. I'll do that. Yeah, so I'm just suggesting this Geographical thing, but it can even be like, you know, in these 10 districts or 15 districts, whatever, you know It can like even if you're picking several districts from all over Maybe from North one few from South through from the same that is also fine So but you know, whatever way you do, it'll be good to go in depth and find out because that's going to take time you know going back back tracking to see who are there and then but it'll be a very Satisfactory fruitful work to find out and also to you know to recommend to the church saying this is what happened in our own You know in our own state. This is what happened. So, you know And and and things like, you know, whatever you've studied in revival visitations and habit, you know moves of God You can also, you know, ask those questions, you know, so what happened prior to that? You know, was there a preparatory thing? What happened prior to that where people praying where people really asking or Was it a sovereign move of God? You know, people are not expecting and just happened so those kind of things right and So what happened during that time, you know, where there are salvations where they have supernatural You know Encounters so you might come up with some I mean you might find out some very interesting things that would have happened And it'll be great to record those also Okay Okay, so yeah, Karan, can you share something about the work that you're doing? Yeah, yeah, I'm also collecting data about my project I Have a person who is there in new Greece So, he you know Very well about those about that community Which is that community again Oh Okay, yeah Okay, also he is a pastor. He is He have a contact with the pania pastures. So I can take help Yeah, but yeah, just start off, you know, if there are pastors and do the thing you contact them and then ask them and You know, when did it start what what is the thing but in the meantime side by side, you know Parallel II what you should do is also find out about more about that community. So has that work started like their beliefs their Culture For for for these informations. I'm I Found something on my chrome. Yeah, internet Okay Okay, yeah, so So if you you know if you can see there is one resource called the Joshua project It's more of Yeah, you've seen that. Yeah. Yeah, I said but that was very confusing. Is it? Yeah, I can I couldn't find Like Yeah, I could not find the this pania like particularly Oh, I see showing like a All pania thing Okay, I need only that particular group So there's one page called people groups and One second, let me just share that with you like off and I could just think of this I think it's coming up. Yeah So, yeah, it has people group list find a people group. Okay, let's try that Okay, so select a country yeah region Okay, wow, there's two threes and so a lot of information here So you'll have to do the focused Kind of research. I'm sure You said panias, no P. Yeah, okay Okay, let's just scroll down. Let's see. Okay. It's 2000. So I think it's quite a big list Let's just go down Okay And is it pun and no, no, no, no, okay. Pani car is there It's it's up there The top one paneer Man, no, no, no top one top one this one. No, that is pannier. Yeah. Ah, what? P a n okay, so you go through this pun and is there and then Panika Panikken So must be panion but Let's see. They are top one the Tamil Panikken. Yeah, we can take that one or else it will one more is there something like Okay Christian New Angelical Frontier. So information is here. It's definitely Tamil Nadu Okay, and some information here No, this is actually they say okay anyway, just go through this List and you could also maybe Contact them, you know and check with them. So And see what is the updated? I'm not sure how current this information is So you could find out so this is you know all the work that has done the resources that is there Okay So anyway, you you you have this link no current you yeah I have yeah, you have this. Okay. So so try this And maybe you know another which is also sounding the same. Okay, so you could do this Yeah, but but get that information badly, right? So To get information about the group and I think you need to find out as much as possible About this people group, you know Like the origins Not in the This one Josh a project a way simply search. No, they can find the Funnier yeah Josh a project will probably give you some information about what is the kind of evangelistic work Which was done mission mission work, which was done. Yeah, so that is a thing Yeah, if you can get other information cultural this thing their involvement and and also typically, you know Some of their customs some of the traditions and and also What are the challenges they face, you know, and so things like that, right? So how many numbers how many are there? What are their first done? How and of course you can come to the place of saying, okay, this is this is what they believe. This is how it is You know, whether they have the Bible in their language And and so on right you can do that Okay so but but kind of just like Like what I told Thomas you just speed up the work like speed up the work Maybe you can just take one day fully if you can or maybe two half days and just get all this information in about them and then And then, you know, put it put it aside You have all this information you've collected it and you need to you can't really copy paste, right? so you'll have to You know, put it together in your words so you can do that. Of course, you can mention the source You know with a which link which page so you can mention that But get that like out of the way. So you have it. You've already collected it and you can focus on, you know on the work Contacting the people finding out What work was done how they are continuing and you know, typically certain Challenges they might face is like the community is very strong and or maybe, you know for people who Yeah, like who who accept Christ, maybe they you know, they are excommunicated, right? They are they get alienated from the community and they're not allowed to be part of the community and so on so You know things like that or challenges like that. They might be facing or several other challenges so So you can get into those details and also find out what is it, you know in your addressing of how to reach out how to Be better at things. So these things can be addressed, right? So how to present the truth without really Break or even cultural thing, you know, how is how is Christianity perceived and how is the message of the gospel perceived? Is it seen as something foreign something, you know, like a Western? You know thing coming in something changing the culture something that is upsetting, you know, what is it? What is it seen as right? So because You know, so these kind of barriers Maybe those are really hindering the effort. So how can we present it in a way? Without these cultural barriers, how can we present it? In the language, how can you present it? In a way that's that's accepting, you know, that the the gospel is offensive We know that but we don't have to add to it by having all these, you know, the cultural barriers, etc We just can't present the truth and Without all this right so so you could find out right So speed up the work, right? Okay, right. Okay, Dave Any updates from the outside? Yes, yeah Just recently I've got an got an access to through to the look the library Christian library here Okay, just borrowed some of the books What I found out was that We don't have much writer for written Most local writers I found a book from Cindy Berry Cindy Albury two books from Cindy Berry, which might be a biological history of Christians History of the church in Nepal and Nepal is around the world and I found the the biography of The pastor who translated the Bible first Bible in Nepali Okay, I Did find a local writer But I was planning to interview with the pastor, but I found out that he's He's no more here and he's passed away already. So I don't think I can interview with the pastor about the book and And some other thing that I'm looking into it is from the internet and found out that most of the Actually I am yours most of many name in the U.m. And was one of the first I am here to come and Establish churches in Nepal Yeah, so I'm looking into all those things Okay, okay All right. So any missionary Like organizations that you're able to contact, you know, they might also be able to like missionary organizations Bible translation, you know work They also will be able to you know, they'll have a strong like a background historical information And also, of course, you're contacting these pastors Who else? Yeah, I mean the church that you're part of maybe that the pastor himself will be able to Yeah The thing is the most of the the gospel came to Nepal was from from the the eastern part of Nepal Where we're in in Darjeeling and and it's a king and and calling home It is already a part of India so The first influence was from there and because of the prayer and and and the work that they did the gospel could come into Nepal and and Very close to our search. There is a church from from from from the pastor was from from from India calling home, okay, but the thing is on the second Second wave of the quality we lost both the father and the son Yeah, so There also I couldn't be I wasn't able to But I'm still trying to find at least some Who I can at least in view and try to gain the first first hand knowledge Okay Anyway, so I'll also see if there's anything that I can get, you know, then I'm sure they must be some Some research or some papers presented On the subject so maybe we can check we have access to that I'll share that with you you can take a look at that as well Okay Okay, so yeah, so that is all that I wanted to share and also get an update sure if others were there we could have you know had a slightly longer conversation and discuss that also Okay, so we'll meet next week, right and but before that just give an update and also Let there be a lot of progress in the coming days, right Maybe over the weekend you can you can actually finish a lot of work in we're actually on Wednesday, right? It's it's midweek so you can do a lot more work cover a lot more ground and Then you can give an update. You can submit that update by Tuesday, right? Okay Fine, right. Thank you All the best. We'll we'll wind up now if there are no questions or any clarifications and we'll We'll stop here any any doubts or clarifications anything that I can answer It's fine. Okay. Okay Fine. Thank you. We'll we'll meet next week. God bless. Bye. Bye
