How to Pray

Geographic barriers exist due to remoteness, lack of infrastructure, and the world's highest mountains. Persecution is significant due to the lack of distinction between ethnic and religious identity. If you profess Christ, you are stripped of your enthic identity.

01
Pray that many gospel workers would be sent to the remote villages of the Himalayas. Ask God to strengthen their hope and resolve in this difficult part of the world.
02
Pray that God would bless the witness of local believers in Nepal and strengthen their churches.
03
Pray that God would provide food and clean water for all citizens. Ask him to open doors for Christians and churches to address these needs for the sake of the gospel.

Unreached people groups live in areas where Christ is unknown and there is little to no local church presence.
