Nepal

In 2007, the former Hindu kingdom of Nepal became a secular nation. Christians now have the freedom to attend church, but anti-conversion laws introduced in 2017 prohibit evangelism. Persecution of Christians is a reality many face, with new converts ostracized by their families and pastors at risk of imprisonment for proselytization. The nation remains predominantly Hindu, with about 81.2% of the population practicing Hinduism, while Christianity makes up only about 1.8%. However, Nepal has one of the world’s fastest-growing Christian populations, and the faith is quickly spreading across the nation.

Derek Prince Ministries is a lifeline to pastors and Christian leaders in Nepal. Many people live in mountainous, difficult-to-reach areas and lack access to Bible teaching materials, while others cannot afford to buy them. False doctrines also pose significant challenges. Derek Prince Ministries plays a vital role in equipping the church in Nepal by holding teaching seminars for pastors and Christian leaders, gifting packs of Derek’s books to them and Bible college graduates, and facilitating extensive book distribution throughout the nation. Freely available online resources also play an important role in encouraging and teaching Nepali-speaking Christians in Nepal and other nations such as India, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Korea.

Through these efforts, Derek Prince Ministries ensures that Nepali Christians receive sound biblical teaching, strengthening their faith and enabling them to stand firm in the face of persecution. Our mission is to support and equip the next generation of believers, ensuring they have the resources and guidance needed to spread the message of Jesus Christ throughout Nepal and beyond.
