Church Building in India & Nepal
Work is continuing on the building of 2 new churches in Siliguri, India and Biratnagar, Nepal. Construction is progressing. India is about 70% complete and Nepal about 50%. However, we are experiencing cost overruns due to the US-Iran conflict. Prices for building materials have significantly increased (concrete, rebar, blocks, etc). We will probably need another 7-10k to complete both projects. We are also approaching the rainy season soon so we are up against time. If you w

Pilot Program Discipleship
Pastor Tim Potter of Arch Ministries took about 30 hours over 3 weeks to go in depth on the subject of Discipleship with our India-Nepal pastors. The teaching was well-presented and well-received. You could almost visibly see these men soaking up the Word and growing in each session themselves. Our goal is to train 7 men who understand English fairly well so they in return can train others in their own native tongue. 3 discipleship groups are already underway with around 35 p
