Pastor Dev Shrestha of NIGAH Mission Church has asked us to return to Nepal and bring a mission team to teach the Word of God in several small and growing churches. Pastor Dev mentors these young churches and has requested that we offer teaching to pastors and their wives, as well as lay leaders, in the following areas: discipleship, stewardship, biblical leadership, how to engage Jehovah’s Witness and Mormon teachings, and how to face persecution. The church in Nepal is still relatively young, having been “born” approximately 75 years ago. The majority of pastors and leaders have only basic school-level studies and need further biblical training. Pastor Dev faithfully works to train these pastors, and it is an honor to be able to support how the Lord is building His church in Nepal! We've had the honor of working with and supporting Pastor Dev for over six years. We will also spend a few days working with Change Action Nepal in a Christian safe house in the southern part of Kathmandu for survivors of human trafficking and at-risk situations, where we will help the girls with their Nepali homework, share meals together, teach the Word, and lead worship. We will also be doing street outreach/evangelism in the vibrant and spiritually dark tourist district of Kathmandu, called Thamel, as well as a few historic sites.
