Why Nepal Needs Hope
Nepal’s breathtaking landscapes hide a deep spiritual need. With less than 2% of the population identifying as Christian and strict anti-conversion laws in place, sharing the gospel here is a challenge—but God is opening doors.
Through radio broadcasts, leadership training, and digital outreach, Words of Hope is equipping indigenous pastors and ministry leaders to share the gospel within their cultural contexts and in their own languages. This ensures that faith takes root in a way that is meaningful and sustainable for local communities.
The Problem
Nepal enforces anti-conversion laws that can result in imprisonment for evangelism. Christianity is often viewed as a foreign threat to the culture, and Hindu extremists sometimes attack Christians and churches. These pressures, along with limited resources, make it difficult for believers to gather openly or for the gospel to spread.
Our Strategy
Share the gospel through radio programming and social media.
Initiate church planting efforts, using media ministry as a key starting point for new congregations. When listeners respond from a particular location, follow-up teams visit to see if a small fellowship can be formed.
Plant one effective, Bible-believing church in each of Nepal’s 77 districts.
