December missions
Spotlight
EC CHURCH OF NEPAL
Rev. Th. Janga and his wife, Mercy, lead our EC Church of Nepal. ECCN currently has 14 established churches and 8 branch fellowships. Two or three of the established churches are located in the Dharan area, with the largest having an attendance of 200 on Sundays. Since 12 members are required to constitute a church, groups having fewer members are considered branch fellowships. During the first quarter of this year, 21 people accepted Christ as Savior, and 17 of those have already been baptized. Proselytizing is forbidden in Nepal, which is primarily a Hindu nation, but it is not illegal to convert to Christianity. There is some regional persecution of Christians, though most of that comes from family and community, rather than from government officials.
PRAISE GOD!
The Evangelical Leadership Training Center was dedicated on October 24 with Rev. Janga and EC Missions Director Ted Rathman officiating at the ceremonies. During his visit, Rev. Rathman also conducted baptismal and ordination services. We rejoice that Lititz Trinity played an important part in financial support for completion of the ELTC.
PRAYER REQUESTS:
• Effective use of the new ELTC for worship and discipleship.
• Beginning of new fellowships in villages.
• Protection from persecution for believers.
