| | COVID & DISCRIMINATION DEVASTATING NEPAL & MYANMAR FAST-GROWING CHURCHES | | Dear Webmaster220:
Nepal is an amazing case study of how the Christian gospel spreads.
In the 1960s the number of Christ-followers numbered a handful at best.
Today, in the space of two generations the number of Christians is estimated at around three million – roughly ten percent of the entire population.
Nepal is arguably the fastest growing church in the world, and largely without the imposition of foreign mission agencies and denominations exporting their models.
The situation is not that different in Myanmar where a military coup has forced Christians into hiding while their churches thrive.
Right now, evangelical churches in Nepal and Myanmar are in serious condition.
The combination of ongoing persecution and the covid pandemic has put the church in a precarious position.
With one person dying every 5 minutes, the bodies are literally piling up. Those of Christians are often treated even worse. My dear friend's body was bagged, tied up with rope and incinerated by the army. And Christians can be last to receive what little vaccines are available. | | Nepal Churches are mourning the tragic loss of pastors like these. Learn More | The apostle Paul encouraged us in his seminal description of the body of Christ, " If one part suffers, every part suffers with it." (1 Corinthians 12:26) | Food aid, personal health kits, oxygen are being distributed by evangelical churches including hardest hit rural areas of Nepal and Myanmar. Learn More | So, we've established the Nepal & Myanmar Pastors Emergency Fund. We're rushing to get funds to: - provide Covid-19 health kits of masks and antibacterial soap
- provide food to families including those who've lost their father and only bread winner
- provide medical care – oxygen, medicines, doctor and ambulance fees
You can help with as little as $34.
These are your brothers and sisters. Please CLICK HERE to send a message of love and hope. You WILL make a difference in the lives of pastors, their families and their communities. But also in protecting the work of the church in Nepal & Myanmar.
God bless you,
