2013 April May and June report about football, orphanage, school, church planting

My Dear Friend Brother
 Bible Distribution in Nepal
I bring you the ministry report of April, May and June. I want to, from the tips of my boot to the top of my hat, say thank you for your prayers, emails and financial contribution which has greatly helped me to expand the work of the Lord in Nepal.

Bible Distribution in football game in Bhojpur
We go around Nepal and distribute Bibles and tracts and this time it was in Bhojpur. Road was tough and dangerous. Just as we reached the town we planned to distribute gospel tracts and Bibles. So we found couple of believers who were happy to meet us and prayed for us. They distributed Bibles and tracts while we played the game. I want to say thank you to some beautiful people who donated us the Bibles. Gospel is being preached around Nepal, and it is fun to do with the sport.

Football training and sharing the gospel
Church Boys KathmanduThere were also other event where we share the gospel with others. This time it was in football training. There were around 35 players everyday in the football pitch where we mention them the importance of prayer, being truthful, spirit of good sportsmanship and knowing Christ. We used our Logo and its meaning and share the gospel with them. Our name of the team is Church Boys United, it is the only Christian club in Nepal which can play with any club in Nepal.

Church Boys Kathmandu in C qualifying round

Church Boys United Kathmandu participated in National 'C' qualification round that was held in Kathmandu. We lost in the very first match and was all disappointed. Some time you prepare well and the result is not in your favor, this reminds us of hard labor. We carry Philippians 4 : 13 in the sporting field, which says, I can do all things through Christ Jesus who gives me strength. We want to become the first division team in Nepal. Thanks to all the players who labor very hard for the Church team.

School in Dungdunge come to reality
After long process, practice and persuasion, we were finally able to start the school in Dungdunge in Nepal. We have 35 students and three teacher and almost no facility except the rooms where the students sit and learn. We want to thank all our supporters for helping us in the process of starting the school. Poor children of Dungdunge needs your help. They want to go to school and learn and be educated. School Children in Dungdunge
As you can see by the photos that a toilet is needed which cost 700 dollar, building of kitchen cost 1200 dollar and expansion of two more rooms cost 3000 dollar.

Church Building in Gelu in Ramechap
In some parts of Nepal, Church building is necessary because of caste system. There are untouchable, Dalit, Brahmins which they say is high caste like the Jews and Samaritans in Jesus' time. For new comer in the Church, he feels uncomfortable to stay with the community. People still say that Christianity is foreign Religion, and its coming here to destroy their culture. High caste people do not go to the low caste people's house and low caste people do not deal with high caste people. In this situation a common place for worship is needed. That is what we are doing in Gelu in Ramechap, so that who ever is coming to Church will not get offend.

Orphanage Building on progress
A great progress has been made in building of the orphanage in Urlabari in village. But we still need money to continue to work. Ground floor and first floor has been laid and when windows and doors are complete in this summer, prayer hall, kitchen and dining hall will be ready in ground floor and 6 rooms will be ready in the first floor as well as more work in the second floor.
For complete and updated images of the orphanage you can go here.

I want to use a verse to say thank you to you. And Naomi said to her two daughters in-law, 'Go, return each of you to her mother's house, May the Lord deal kindly with you as have dealt with the dead and with me.' I thank my God always concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus. Being remembered in such a nice way means a lot more then what a 'thank you' can say.

Church Boys Kathmandu lifts the trophy

Church Boys Kathmandu lifted the trophy in Adarsha Gold Cup in Jhapa in June, with cash prize, trophy, medals and certificates. People in Nepal are beginning to hear the Church Boys and why we play. We have many fans and people love Church Boys and speaks about us. Some people may not like the sport but we are using sport to communicate the gospel. Everywhere we play we give away Bibles and tracts.

Many have accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior through this sports ministry. We need your prayer for this ministry and sports materials. You can see more in www.facebook.com/churchboysunited

As I go for now, I want to leave some points to remember them in your prayer.

1. Meeting, please pray for our sub annual meeting of pastors and leaders in Ramechap in August. That God will give us wisdom to serve Him and His people.

2. Bible College, please pray for the Bible College in September/October that God will supply us the fund needed for the food, materials, lodging, T-shirts and others.

3. Orphanage, please pray for the fund to come in for the building of the orphanage. We need 6000 $$ for the month of July and August. Fund are needed for Windows and Doors, Furniture and Heating system, water purification system, and Kitchenware. We also need humble and God fearing staffs and volunteers.
4. School, we are looking for Christian social organization or Church who might help us extend the school for poor children in Dungudnge in east Nepal. We need volunteer teacher, volunteer workers and school supplies.

Thank you to all who donated Bibles. We really appreciate you for your time and labor in encouraging others to donate Bibles for Nepal. We have been giving away Bibles to needy Pastors, believers and to mainly Bible College students. Please send more, you can send to Rita Rai, GPO 2623, Kathmandu, Nepal.

It is wonderful to serve God and His people together with you. Thank you for your encouraging emails and prayer. Together we do a great work for our God.

Your brother and partner in Nepal

2012 Oct/Nov/Dec Ministry Report


My Dear Beloved Friend and Partner

Love and greeting to you from Nepal with ministry report of October November and December 2012. I send you update of Sports ministry, Bible distribution, Orphanage, Children camp, Students program, annual conference and village reports. In all these, your prayer and support played crucial part in every second. Without your prayer and support we would not have come to this far in 2012.
Football Tournament participation and Bible Distribution

People requesting gospel tracts
We had very good impact on the people because we played well and we distributed Bibles and gospel tracts in football games in Kakadvitta and in Biratnagar. Bibles were wrapped with the gift paper. Bibles worth 700 dollar were distributed to people who asked. Our players gave away Bibles to other players each time they played. We played 5 matches and it was huge crowd. Here is a link for the Bible distribution in the football tournament.

Orphanage Building
Orphanage Nepal Orphanage work slowly on progress but this orphanage needs your help. It is a long time vision for me to keep orphans in the house and raise them before God. My only hope is in God and secondly to you and friends. We pray to God to provide us 7000 US dollar for the first Six month in 2013 so that we can start taking the orphans to the homes. This will go toward the construction of the house. Click HERE for more photos.

Visiting Churches

During my stay in village I was able to visit several of our Churches and shared the gospel and encourage the leader for the work of ministry. Many of our leaders are in need of financial support for their family and ministry. I met disciples of our lord Jesus Christ in Ilam, Domukha, Kerkha, Inaruwa, Biratnagar and other places. Churches are thrilling and moving very fast and many people are coming to the Lord. Some disciples really need our consideration towards the clothing they were because they don't have sufficient cloths to cover up winter, less nutritious food, bed they sleep do not give much comfort. But their zeal for the lord is encouraging. Despite family persecution and problems, believers in Nepal are still committed to the Lord. Click HERE for the village ministry photos.

Children Camp

We had a wonderful and blessed children camp with 97 kids in Kathmandu. They sang, danced, made drawings, ate food together, answered the Bibles questions, and they were very happy. Children of our Christian communities are very important because they are the ones who would defend our faith tomorrow. Proverbs 22 : 6 Says, 'The Bible says train a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not turn from it.' Click HERE for Children Camp photos

Students Conference

We had 1st Open students conference in Kathmandu and many of them were very happy to be there. Most of the teenagers were never in this type of conference. They said they really learn so many things in this part and were spiritually uplifted. There were more than 75 students in the conference. It was time of worship, powerful message, student's presentations, dance, songs, and prayers, ministering, and getting to know each other. We are glad to host this program. Click HERE for Students program photos.

Pastor Ordination

In December we anointed and ordain Khamba Sing Rai, from Mukti Church, Kerkha, Jhapa, Padam Bahadur Parali Rai from Jiwan Jyoti Church in Dasami in Panchther and Pratap Praja from Apostolic Church in Hetauda to a Pastoral ministry under the Churches Network Nepal. We have proved their calling, their character, and power and according to the situation and need of the local church ministry, in front of the delegated authority and witness of elderly Pastors, we recognize them as Pastor in their Churches. So we want you to please remember to pray for these three new Pastors in the ministry.

Annual Conference

We had wonderful ministry report from the Churches in our 6th Annual Conference which was held in Kathmandu. I personally am very glad to see how God is working in our midst in Nepal. We hear the report of the finances, new souls, Church growth, and need for fund for the Pastors and Evangelists which are working in the front line in ministry.

Ramechap visits

I and some of my ministry leaders headed toward Ramechap in December which is east of Kathmandu and can reach there after traveling 8 hours in humping bumping road through the dangerous cliffs. There is no space for other bus to cross by because road is very small. If they have to give way for other they have to return back to some space and let pass other vehicle. Every moment life is in danger.

We witness the work of God in Gelu where our brother Pradip Rai (Ramechap) is leading the flock of God. There is Kedar who was raised back to life after death from more than 48 hours and Asmita who was demon possessed and was set free by the prayers of the believers who knew nothing about what is written in the Scripture. Because of their life and testimony, 9 other people accepted Jesus Christ as their personal and savior and were baptized in water, there. We have decided to plant a Church in this place because untouchable and Dalit can't come to other people's house. Untouchable system is still in force in village and we have to be very careful in maintaining relationship with Jesus and the World. You can see more of the PHOTOS here. The crowd that came to see the drama 'Life and Satan' was enormous. Hundreds of Children were gather there to see the songs, drama, action song, messages. Suntali Budhathoki gave her heart touching testimony of how she was beaten by villagers accusing her of a witch, how she was taken to police custody just because she became follower of Jesus. She is 68 and still walking very fast and healthy. Her report will be soon publishing in Radio and Christian newspaper soon for the encouragement to other believers who suffer like her in their Christian walk.
We went to Phulasi which they said is only one hour walking but to us it took four hours to reach there. It was top of the mountain and the cold really heat has hard. Water was running out of our Noses but we could see the Mount Everest from there. Be careful when you walk in the steps. These are the Cliff track that animal don't tread because path is dangerous. Don't drop anything; there is no chance of finding them. And disciples in this places walk 7 hours to get to the nearest Church gathering for the worship and they are happy. Sometime 5 minute walking is too long for us, how about theirs 7 hours?

After walking seven hours we reached a town called Manthali. We were waiting for the bus and decided to take snacks because we were hungry. We order meat eggs rice, finger chips, and water. We were eating and the bus, horned, Pop Pooop. We paid the bill and left the food. By the time we reach guest house we were more sick, our hairs were gray by the dust of the road in the bus, exhausted and tired. And the disciples there began to come and talk to us. We put blanket in, to take rest and they said we need to go for prayer for the sick. We went. In this Church there is a conflict, two church, two service and two offerings. Distrust upon the Pastor and matter of immoral relationship. They accuse each other. For this reason we were here so that we could unite and fix it. Next day we encouraged, share our love, rebuked and build up. They were again united and we had Lord Supper after 20 month. I miss Christmas time with my family. But I am glad this was wonderful Christmas experience. Back at home, Children were unhappy because I am always out of home in special season. Kids shouted Daddy doesn't buy us Jacket now it's very cold. I forget last time I bought coat for them was two years ago. I said each of you will get two piece of warm cloth in New Year, and all smile. Thank you for following my report.


Updates from the leaders

I wish you the best in 2013 and promise that I would be more responsible towards my calling in ministry and I will spend more time praying for you, for your family and for your ministry. I and my leaders need your prayer for strength to overcome the temptation and every kind of persecution in Nepal. Thank you so much for your emails, prayers and support in 2012. Thank you for your faithful support. You have been a great source of encouragement to all of us in ministries in Nepal.

Get to know what God is doing in the Himalaya


Get to know what God is doing in Nepal/Ministry report from 2012 July-Aug-Sept,

To all my friends
Jai Mashi in the precious name of our Lord Savior Jesus Christ.
I want to tell you what God is doing in Nepal. I also want to thank you for your prayer and financial support without which we would not have come to this far. Bible Distribution Ministry NepalAll Glory to God. Thank you for your continued prayed. We did these because of you supported us.
Bible Distribution Ministry
We are the one that distribute Bibles freely to needy people in Nepal. The number of request is overwhelmed. Just one month in August in 2012 we were able to distribute more than 500 copies of Bibles and we have new names listed for the Bibles. So we need Bibles.
Growing number of new converts, large number of students joining Bible Colleges to do ministry and awareness to the genuine translation of the scripture has made the huge demand for the Bibles in Nepal. We need partners who can provide us Bibles of any amount.
Nepali and English Bibles are distributed every Sunday in Koteshwor in Kathmandu. I want to give thank to all who have provided the Bibles for Nepal. We have been able to bless more than 1200 people in July August and September and still people are coming from around Nepal to grab their free copy of English Bible. What a blessing this is to share the word of God with them.
Children Conference in Kusunti, Kathmandu
We have never heard about Children conference in Nepal. We organized Children Conference in July and there were more children then we have expected. Most of the Children wanted to share Ministry R. Children conferencesome thing about what they feel with Jesus Christ. Some of them presented beautiful dance on the Christian songs. We emphasis on adult conference but ignore the children meetings who would one day shine like stars for Jesus. Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." Mathew 19:14. I love Children, orphans and the poor.
Prison Ministry in Bhimphedi
In June, we had a prison ministry in Bhimphedi, one of the old Prisons in Nepal. It was 4 hours drive from Kathmandu and we had a good meeting. Prison officer was so kind so he let us take some photographs inside the prison cells. I believe it was a special kind of favor from the Lord. We sang some songs through which many were touched, share the word of God and it was great encouragement to some Christian prisoners who were already there. We gave books, Bibles and book rack as a token of love to them. We provided them Basmati rice and fried Chicken to them and Soda and cool orange juice and everybody was so happy. Do you know where this verse is, "Remember those in prison as if they were your fellow prisoners, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering." I remember thatMinistry R. Prison Ministry in Nepal 25 years ago in Nepal, if one Christian meet with another Christian, they become so happy and treat the visitor just like he is treating to an Angel. Likewise, when we visit Prison Christian there treats us like they found an Angel.
Prison Ministry needs are the Bibles and books. One Nepali Bible can be purchase with 3 US dollar per copy.
(# If you are forwarding this report, please delete prison update, specially the photo, for security reason, otherwise we and the officer who gave permission to take photos will be in trouble.)
Christian Resource Materials in Nepal
I want to thank and honor Christian Resource International for sending us books, Bibles, commentaries and dictionaries which cost thousands of dollars to send them to Nepal. And I also want to thank each one who has contributed the resources for Nepal. Your books and Bibles are thankfully accepted and well read.
Bible School in Kathmandu
Ministry R. Bible School graduation9th Batch of Bible School was organized in Kathmandu from August 21-September 21. There were 18 Students from different parts of Nepal. They learn about Christian Life, Church Planting, Finances, and urgency of the gospel and fulfilling great commission of our Lord Jesus Christ, Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15. I look back to the School, and we found that we have already trained and sent 118 Students to the ministry field. Some of them are become Pastor, Evangelists, Bible Teachers, Youth leaders, and minister of the gospel. This is because you prayed for us and supported. Jesus said, "Everything is possible for him who believes." Mark 9:23. I came to know one more thing on this, Nothing is hard if we work together.
Apart from this subject, Students also learn how to make ministry movie, working in photos, how to write email and use facebook. They learn how to make blog and website. So it was also a great time of learning computers. They all were happy to be there.
Baptism and new converts
There were four people who were baptized in water in September. They are from my Church. Sudip Baptize 12 people, many more people are waiting to be baptized. More than 30 people gave their life to Jesus in August September. This is the result of your prayer and support.
The World Race and the home stay
Let me introduce you the World Race. World Race travels 11 countries in 11 month. Each country they go they help local church and ministries with whatever way they can, except money. But they pay for food and lodging. We also have home stay and people come to stay in our guest house. We accept only Christians.
Retreat Program 2012
We had 80 ex-students in the 2nd Ex-students retreat program 2012 in Kathmandu. In this retreat program, ex-students who are now in ministry shared their ministry report, their challenges, their problems and their victories. It was the time of sweet worship together, dance, drama, songs, and messages. Every one stood in the pulpit and shared their time with others. It was wonderful and emotional time of reunion. Ministry R. Dance at retreat program
Someone said after I went back from the Bible School I went to preach the gospel with friends and we brought 80 people to the Lord. Others said we baptized 12 people. Some other said I could not do anything like you did and he burst into tears. He said he has nothing like these to share in the sharing time. Some made plan to go to beyond the mountains where there has not been any gospel preached. The numbers of God's servant are growing. Harvest truly is ripe but the laborers are few. God is at work in Nepal. He is rising new generation of leaders from everywhere. This nation was in dark for thousands of years, now lights are beginning to spread and people are seeing it. Retreat program was the time of ministry report and what God is doing in Nepal. Even the students were very happy to be here in the retreat.
We have not yet paid all the bills of the retreat program. We need to pay it and we have not. Please help us.

Upcoming programs and prayer
We have some prayer request. The scripture promise us that Ask and it shall be given unto you. Whatever is impossible with men is possible with God. Prayer changes the heart of the people and also the situation. Please agree with us for the following programs and ministries.
Orphanage House
We are building the orphanage from October 9 and we need fund to continue the work. We need at least 7000 US dollar to finish the ground floor which is the second phase. We need to make prayer hall, kitchen, and a sitting room, and parking and bathroom outside the building. We hope to finish this before the Christmas 2012. If you are the new reader and visitor to this report and want to contribute some then please contact us. Orphanage is located in Urlabari in Morang in East Nepal and we have 8 Children waiting to come home that you would prepare for them.
Football and Sport Outreach
Ministry R. Bible School 2012 KathmanduWe are participating in 2nd Mechi Gold Cup International football tournament in Kakadvitta and in 2nd Duhabi Gold Cup Football Tournaments in Duhabi in Sunsari in east Nepal from October 14. We are privileged to be a part of this game. We have 20 thousand copies of gospel tracts ready for the events and some Bibles. Bibles are not enough though and we want to purchase some Bibles to distribute in this football game. Please help us buy more Bibles. Help us reach the unreached youth of Nepal with the gospel message of Jesus Christ. We are going to east Nepal on the early morning of 8th October. Name of our football club is Church Boys United Kathmandu. www.cbu.org.np, so please pray as we go for sports outreach.
School in Dungundge
We are building the School right now and we need fund to continue to build the school so that children can study. We will teach them about the Bibles. This school is located in Dungdunge in Ilam and needs your support. Children of this village live under the Kerosene lamp, with no electricity, no market, no transportation and no school. Nearest School is two hour in walk through the river which is very dangerous for the School Children. Some part of the School has been completed.
Pastors and Children Support
We have been supporting Pastors and leaders in Nepal. One Pastor can be supported per month just with 80 dollar in village. If we do not spend money we would probably not reach Nepal for the gospel. Anu Magar, Sumitra Magar, need support to go to School. Please pray and consider supporting these children with 20 dollar a month.
I want to thank you for your prayer and support once again. Without your help we would not have come this far. Please share with us what are your prayer needs and we would commit all requests to the Lord in prayer.
Co-worker with you

2012 May June Ministry Report


I do hope that you enjoyed the summer. Every time I think of you I give glory to God. In all my prayers for you, I always pray with joy. I would not have met you if I was lost in my sin. I am thankful to God for choosing me. I believe the Lord has called me to encourage and equip leaders for the work of ministry. We have been spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ and I must thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to serve the Lord in Nepal where the gospel has not been preached openly.
Football teamChurch Boys United Kathmandu
Our football team played matches in the national qualifying league in May. We were able to impact nation in sport by our prayer and distribution of gospel tracts and sharing the gospel with young people. It is a medium to reach people. We had a very good chance to share the gospel with them while they were as a team. It is not just playing; we share our faith to them. There are many worlds, and sports world is one of them, we must bring gospel to all of them.
Rita's Graduation
I am so glad to see Rita complete her three years Bible College from Jesus College in Kathmandu with B.Th. She has learned so many subject and things about God and the ways of ministry. She can be a good help now after. She needs your prayer and encouragement. She is hospitable. She ministers to the need of the poor and widows. Now she is going beyond this, she is leading the teams to share the gospel. Now we can do more together. Your financial help really help us do the work of the gospel in Nepal.
Program in Makwanpur
Nepal is divided into three major geographical landscapes. Plain, mountains and High Mountain. We were in Terai in some parts in Rita Rai Graduation 2012 KathmanduJune. Heat really made us very difficult to minister to the disciples. Bishnu was one of our first Bible School students in 2007. He has a new Church today.
Children ministry
We expected only few children in the children ministry for song, sweet, balloons, and game. But in moments there were more than hundred of children in this village and their parents gather around to receive sweets and balloons and see us how we preach the gospel to the Children. We told them Bible stories. Sweat in our body overflowed from all parts but children were very passionate despite the heat. They wanted something. We do not have children gospel materials but we can produce it if we get sponsor. Many Churches in Christians in NepalNepal do not have Children materials.
Clothes distribution
We distributed clothes in June to the needy Children in Pastor Reuben Church. The Bible says give and it shall be given unto you. We are not rich but we can't close our eyes when we see naked. Christian life is sharing life. I personally want to thank all people in home and in abroad who made contribution of clothes for the sake of the poor. Poor people in Nepal are not able to purchase new clothes. Many Pastors in Nepal has resigned because they are feeling pressure to feed their family and provide education. So this little effort of distributing clothes is a real blessing to Christian people in Nepal.
Program in Tatopani
We had good program in Hindi Church in Tatopani. We had a message from the word of God and more then hundreds leaders and believers were gathered there. Dilip Magar and Bigyan Shrestha, whom we support, are doing very good ministry there, leading people to Jesus, sharing the gospel through videos and Medias.
Bible Distribution
We were able to distribute Bibles to needy people. These Bibles are sent by friends oversees many of whom we never have met. Thanks to all who made contribution of Bibles for Nepal.
Home Stay in Nepal
We have started a home stay service in Nepal for Christian guests who are traveling to Kathmandu. They can 'Come and Stay with us' Acts 16:15. Just as 2 King 4:10 we have room, bed, table, chair, lamp stand, and more then that we have Kitchen, sitting room/meeting room, Internet, washing machine and dryer, big groceries store nearby.
I was inspired by this Shunammite woman who offers hospitality to Prophet Elisha. This guest house provides them rest, and Rita is busy cooking for them, like the Shunammite woman. She prepares best food in the world, come and tastes her cooking. I want to put one Laptop in this house so that Pastor can use Internet while they are here. Home Stay service is not for business, it is our desire to bless mission travelers. We want to be a small part in their ministry by providing rest for them. So if you know any one traveling to Nepal, kindly tell them about our home stay.
Bible Distribution Ministry in Nepal
Upcoming programs and prayers
Bible School 2012
We are called to make disciples. Member and Disciple is very different. Member stay, Disciple goes out. We are disciple who makes other disciples. In the Church, you can't be a proud member, you should be a proud disciple who go out and make disciple. That is what we are doing through your help. We are making disciples who go out and share the gospel and win people to Jesus. We all have call from Jesus Christ to go out and make disciples. We have 6th Bible School starting from August 21 and I 100 % believe that you would pray and share others who would be interested to pray for this Bible School. Together we can make disciple makers.
Conference in Barhabise Believers in Nepal eating food after the program
Christians in Nepal are hungry for the fresh teaching and fellowship. We are small group of people who emphasis staying together, just workers and Pastors. We have leadership conference in September and we want to request you to please remember us in your prayer.
Students Retreat Program
This Retreat program is for students who were trained in our Bible School. It is important to meet them, hear their report, testimony, need and challenges. We want to be a small part of their ministry by encouraging them.
And finally, there were 8 people gave their life to Jesus in May June. If you want to write something, please go here and write your comment.

Bible School in Nepal/Your prayer needed


Dear Friend

Before I send my monthly report, I want to send this very important request for prayer for Bible School 2012 so that you can share this to other friends around you that are interested to lift this school in prayer.
I believe that the Lord has called me to encourage leaders and to train and equip new leaders for the gospel. The greatest call I received from the Lord is from Mathew 28:19, therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father and of the son and of the Holy Spirit. And to open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, Acts 26: 18.

My nation Nepal needs Jesus. In this nation 97% people that are approximately 29 million people do not know Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and savior. Harvest is ready in Nepal, but laborers are few. No one will hear the gospel unless someone sends them. We do a great work together for our God. Nepal does not need many denominations it just needs messenger of the gospel. We can do more together then we can do alone. Today we have more than 16 Churches around Nepal and most of the Churches planted are the result of the preaching of the gospel by the local evangelists who were once in the Bible School.
We are planning to start 6th Bible School in Kathmandu Nepal and we hope to train at least 20 brothers and sisters who would later be in ministry in needed areas. This Bible school will have two phases, first one will be 8 days. We will teach our Pastors and leaders how to take benefit from the computer, email and others. I want to see Pastors serve the Lord in full swing. Then rest of the days we will share with them the word of God. We will Family life, Christian life, Church life, and many other subjects. They need to know all these. I don't know from where to start but I know we should start.
Please consider helping us send more laborers to the harvest field. Help us train more. We admit that we can't do alone. We need you.
