Nepal: Miraculous Stories From Missionaries On Pioneer Fields

Nepal: Miraculous Stories from Missionaries on Pioneer Fields
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A completely unreached country until the 1950s, the Hindu kingdom of Nepal poses a significant challenge for native gospel workers. It remains closed to foreign missionaries from America, and recent political strife has inhibited some gospel work and endangered many Nepalese.
But despite obstacles, native missionaries continue to make advances for the cause of Christ. Recent reports sent by an indigenous mission's leader offer only a few examples of the way the Lord is working through native Christians.

One young student named Hira came from a rural village to attend Bible school in Nepal's capital, Kathmandu. Throughout his study, he planned to remain in Kathmandu after graduation and carry out ministry. However, at his graduation ceremony, he felt the Lord say to him, "You have to go back to your village." Hira obeyed, returning to a very difficult situation. No professing Christians lived in his home village, and his father was the local shaman, or witchdoctor. When the man discovered that his son had become a practicing Christian, he kicked him out of the family home and cut him off from all support.

Homeless yet knowing he was called to stay, Hira began living in a cow shed. While there, he won one person to Christ. The two men began to meet and pray for their village. Gradually their group grew; today, 200 believers gather regularly in this village. Hira has planted three churches and four smaller fellowships in the area. His father, once his persecutor, has also come to the Lord.

The mission leader also writes of a 50-year-old woman in another remote village who accepted Christ through the witness of native missionaries. After she professed her faith, her Hindu family, including her husband, began to oppose her. They blamed her for anything negative that happened in their village, such as a sudden disease that affected their goat. As they ridiculed and accused her, the woman laid her hand on the goat and prayed, "In Jesus' name, be healed!" The animal recovered, and the woman's whole family opened to the gospel. Now, all of her family members have accepted Christ because of this believer's simple faith.

Please pray for our Nepalese brothers and sisters spreading the gospel in their Hindu country. Pray for those coming to Christ daily, that they would remain strong in the face of opposition.
