You can support Missions in Nepal

The Poor and the Orphaned

Nepal is among the poorest and least developed countries in the world, with 42% of its population living below the poverty line and an unemployment rate of 47%. Further, the restraints of the caste system and the violence caused by the Maoist insurgency contribute to the loss of housing, jobs, and family. Through monthly gifts, the lives of young children and elderly people are transformed. A loving home, food, clothing, education, and Christian discipleship make such a difference! Give a child or elderly person a better life for as little as $30 a month.

National Churches and Evangelists

Although the number of Christians in this predominantly Hindu kingdom is growing (an estimated 450,000 in 2004), there are significant challenges to accepting and walking with Christ. Most villages are isolated and can only be reached by trekking rough terrain.

Though there is freedom of religion, it is illegal to participate in converting others to Christ (“proselytizing”). Gifts to national churches and evangelists help to support their work in sharing the Gospel in the most remote areas to peoples yet unreached. Give toward a church planting or project (any amount), or sponsor of an evangelist ($75 a month).

Education

Nepal has a literacy rate of only 45% (63% of men and 28% of women) and is unable to offer free public education to its young people. It’s very difficult for children to gain any vocational or professional skills and, therefore, a hope for a better future. Gifts for education promote leadership, as well as technological and other necessary skills for the children who are the key to Nepal’s future. Sponsor a child’s education ($10 a month for tuition, uniform, and school supplies) or contribute toward the continuing education scholarship fund (any amount) so that older children may attend college, Bible school, or vocational school.

National Ministries and Outreaches

National ministries in Nepal desire to be self-sustaining or less dependent on Western funds. One effective method begins with opening children’s homes and other hostels or centers where vocational training is provided, such as fish farming, jewelry making, and gardening. Other viable ministries need outside funds to jump start specific projects that reach out to women rescued out of prostitution, street children, those trapped in poverty and addiction, and those who don’t have the word in their dialect. Purchase handcrafts made by Nepali Christians (contact EquipNepal) and contribute to other worthy ministries and projects (any amount); help Nepali ministries grow and deepen their impact for the kingdom of God.

EquipNepal is a ministry of Mission LINK International, a 501(c)3 organization registered in the state of Virginia and Montana.
