Kapil Sharma, Executive Director of HDCS, Nepal, will be in St Brigid’s, Glengormley, on June 29 to speak about the mission and development work his organisation is pioneering in Nepal. 

The country is famous for its mountain ranges, friendly people and rich cultural history, but it is also striving to overcome some immense social welfare needs. HDCS is at the forefront of this struggle, running schools, hospitals and community radio stations delivering its vision to be a living witness of God’s love and to transform communities – LEARN MORE.

The Rev Jacob Mercer, rector of St Brigid’s, visited Nepal last year, meeting Kapil and his team, and seeing for himself some of the projects HDCS runs, including the ABBS school for children with special educational needs in Kathmandu, and the Namuna Community Hospital, Lamjung. His visit was reported in detail in the Spring issue of Connor Connections.

Jacob is hosting a return visit from Kapil, facilitated by CMS Ireland. During this, Kapil will spend four days in the parish and share his story at this special Global Mission Night on June 29, with the event starting at 7.30pm. 

Jacob said: “Nepal is a beautiful country with a beautiful church. I was so moved and inspired by all the practical ways Nepali Christians serve their community.

“I am very pleased that Kapil is now coming to us. His message is bound to inspire and impact those who come.”

The event is open to all. Refreshments will be provided.
