CHURCH PLANTING in NEPAL I
n 1998, our first Missionary couple, Rev Erick Tan and Shanti, with a baby in tow, arrived in the land of Nepal. They had responded to the call to bring the gospel to the unreached people in Nepal. The church planting work has since grown steadily. Currently, there are 12 Methodist Churches and Preaching Points in Nepal.
