Nepal

Nepal is among the poorest and least developed countries in the world with nearly half of its population living below the poverty line. Nepal is the world's only Hindu Kingdom. There is, however, a large bBuddhist population in Nepal as well. The constitution guarantees some religious freedom for other faiths and people are free to choose their religion but it is illegal to convert others.

The church in Nepal is growing rapidly. Our teams primary focus is to mobilize & equip the emerging church to reach many of the under-reached peoples among the Newars, Indians, Tibetans, Gurungs, Magars, Tamangs, Bhotias, Rais, Limbus and Sherpas. Our facilitative style of ministry is working well with the indigenous church.

United World Mission is actively working to field additional personal into this country as well as developing needed partnerships to complete field projects.

It is an exciting time here in Nepal.   After hundreds of years of closed doors and resistance to the Gospel, God is pouring out His Spirit and tearing down walls.   We are privileged to be part of what God is doing here - helping the growing national church catch a vision for Saturation Church Planting.   This involves training programs, partnering with existing agencies and mentoring Church Planters and Saturation Church Planter coordinators.   Nepal is fertile ground for church growth; the grace of God and the devotion of the believers encourage and inspires us.
