God comes to us as a vulnerable human baby to an unlikely couple in an obscure place. And in doing so turns the world upside down. Jesus says: Stick with me even if I am different, confusing, or surprising. I have come, and I am coming to you today with love! Look for me. Listen. I am coming in an unexpected way.

During Advent, World Renew will post a picture, meditation, and word of the day. You are encouraged to participate and help create the Global Advent Calendar via social media. On Twitter and Instagram, tag your image/prayer #adventword plus the tag for the day. On Facebook go to the AdventWord Page and write on page using #adventword

World Renew is currently working on a shelter program in the Manakamana, which is in the district of Nuwakot. Our goal is to have 285 earthquake resistant houses completed by the end of July 2017!

95 year old Sanu Maya Tamang has been living in a tiny lean-to attached to her daughter’s house ever since her house was destroyed by the earthquake 1 ½ years ago.

Harry and Greta Hansevoort, International Relief Managers for World Renew, upon arrival in Manakamana, found her sitting in front of her newly constructed house, eagerly waiting the day that she can move in!
