Story number 3 for 2 Sep 2002

(Nepal)–In Nepal, that for so long resisted the Gospel within its borders, there are an estimated half million believers — mostly through the witness of ethnic Nepali Christians. Christian Aid Mission says finding church leaders for believers is a challenge, but a former Hindu priest turned preacher is now conducting training seminars for local Christian leaders. The ministry also offers three-year Bible correspondence courses that have attracted a total of more 225-thousand students.
