We greet you today in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It is because of His great love for us that we are here today.

According to International Christian Concern (ICC)), seven Christians have been arrested in Nepal for spreading the Gospel by handing our Bible handbooks to as many as 385 students. They have been charged with attempting to convert people to Christianity in the Hindu-majority nation. This has been an illegal act since 2015. The arrested Christians include principals of two schools, along with five staff members from Teach Nepal, a Christian organization.

ICC, which reports on Christian persecution around the world, revealed that a relative of one of those arrested, said that police officers are cracking down hard on Christians. The police treated these Christians as if they were common criminals, placing them all in handcuffs. They were asked to sign a document admitting that the distribution of Biblical material is a violation of the law, and pledging that they will never do it again, but they all refused to sign it. Believers in the country have spoken out against the 2015 law, stating that it can be used to oppress religious freedom and the growth of Christianity in the South Asian nation.

Tensions have been high between government authorities and Christians ever since the 2015 law took effect. Last September, Hindu extremists warned all foreign Christian missionaries to leave the country, accusing them of corrupting the nation. The statement from the radical Hindu group stated as follows: “from today the Morcha declares Nepal a Christian-free Hindu nation. We warn all Christian religious leaders to leave Nepal, and appeal to all those who converted to Christianity to return home (come back to Hinduism).” Bur Fides News agency noted that Christian missionaries have defied those warnings and have pledged to continue “their mission of dialogue and proclamation of the Gospel charity toward all.”

Let us keep the Nepalese Christians in prayer that God would sustain them in this difficult hour. In addition, let us pray for the Christian missionaries who are resisting the scare tactics of the devil and his agents. “Nay, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.” (Rom. 8:37)
