In the early 1990s about 113,000 Bhutanese people were forced to flee their nation and settled in refugee camps in Nepal. Most of them have been resettled around the world, but 7000 remain in Nepal. Some of these people have stayed because they have long been calling Bhutan to agree to their repatriation. The UN has said it will be closing these last camps. Some of the receiving nations have closed their doors to further immigration, and there has been no move from Bhutan or Nepal to agree to repatriation.
Pray for a resolution for these people.
Pray for miraculous revelation of Jesus in these camps (The Bible, Luke 2:32).
