More People Turning to Christ in Nepal, Which Now Hosts Over 1 Million Believers and 8,000 Churches

More and more people in Nepal are turning to Christianity ever since the predominantly Hindu nation in South Asia went secular in 2008.

Nepal has over one million Christian converts at present, with the number still rising, the Nikkei Asian Review reported, adding that the country also hosts more than 8,000 Christian churches.

In particular, Christianity has found a growing appeal among Nepal's hill tribe minority groups, such as the Kirats and the Dalits, or those belonging to the lowest "untouchables" caste.

The amazing thing is that it was not that
many years ago that Nepal was completely
closed to missionaries coming into their
country and sharing the gospel. Lance
Lambert shared that the breakthrough
came through intercessory prayer for Nepal.

"Though it has been one of the fastest growing churches around the world. May God continue to add to His Church daily those who will be saved."

Here is another interesting article on Nepal that gives good information concerning the history of the region, and the spread of Christianity in that nation.
