Application

PRAY: Nepal

The government of Nepal is taking an increasingly strong stand against religious conversion. Despite the 2015 constitution that guaranteed religious freedom, Parliament criminalized converting someone to another religion. 81.3 percent of Nepalis are Hindus. Nepal is a collectivist culture in which significant decisions are made by the head of the family or the community leader; decisions by other individuals are unacceptable and opposed. Christian communities are small, but they boldly witness for Christ despite harassment and risk.

Pray for the Nepal Mission Team (Joe Chao, Louis Chu, Hebi Li and Jennifer Liu).
