Chanak Ram Chaudhary belongs to the Tharu, one of the most unreached people groups in Nepal. They used to be landlords of the far western Nepal but lost their possessions after their land was confiscated or they were cheated by the upper class people. Today, many of them work as a Kamaiya (servant) for the landlords.

Phal Bhadur Panche Magar from Sarlahi sensed that God has a great purpose for him. But he somehow felt hamstrung and unable to lead a victorious Christian life.
Phal Bhadur testified that he was also not able to actively participate in the church.

Dil Prasad Adhikari, 55, lives with his son and daughter in Sanosree of Bardiya district in the mid-western region of Nepal.
He has been living with HIV for more than nine years. After having been infected in Delhi, he returned to his village hoping to find moral support and help from his friends and relatives. Instead he was greeted with discrimination and stigmatisation.

The Bible says there are only three things that endure – faith, hope and love. And the greatest of these is love.
Providing a roof over someone’s head is an enduring way of extending God’s love. The National Mission Commission of Nepal (NMCN) is thankful to the Lord for enabling it to complete six earth-bag houses for victims of the devastating earthquake in Nepal last year.

The Lord has been gracious to our co-mission partner Milan Kumar Magar, giving him the strength to travel 14 hours to the western region of Nepal to help local pastors in mentoring sessions.
Since last year, he has mentored six pastors from Baptist, Evangelical, Pentecostal and Presbyterian denominations.
