News of a Nepalese ministry reaches the church body in the West.

Nepal (CAID/MNN)–A ministry that operates chiefly among ethnic Nepalese reports continued success in evangelism and leadership training through December.

According to Christian Aid Mission, the report received last week indicated that the ministry, headed by a former Hindu priest, saw 12 new believers baptized in western Nepal in November, and
another eight converts baptized in a newly planted church in the central part of the country in December.

Meetings across northern India and in Mumbai (Bombay) brought the gospel to hundreds of ethnic Nepalese. In addition, 68 men and women attended an eight-day discipleship training course in central Nepal in December.

Participants must complete a Bible correspondence course and show exceptional promise of wanting to become effective witnesses in their communities. To date, more than 290,000 Nepalese have enrolled in the basic course designed to introduce Nepalese of Hindu background to Christ.
