(Nepal)–Maoist rebels interrogated a pair of Nepali missionaries following their visit to two mountain villages. The team was looking for ways to help one village recover from a devastating hailstorm, while the other has no meeting place for believers. Despite the threats of Maoists rebels, the men were released on the condition that they ask permission before entering the area again. Christian Aid continues to find ways to meet the physical and spiritual needs of the isolated mountain people.
