Challenge for Prayer
Freedom of religion is guaranteed by law, but only in limited measures. Non-Hindus cannot proselytize. If they do, they risk fines, imprisonment, and, in the case of expatriates, expulsion. Despite this law, the Church in Nepal grows because of courageous evangelism. Pray for perseverance for believers, that neither laws of man nor threats of violence deter them from sharing the gospel.

Answer to Prayer
There is a church planted in every one of the 75 districts of Nepal. There are at least some believers in almost every people and caste group.
