Nepal

The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) has been in partnership with the United Mission to Nepal since the mission began on March 5, 1954. In the midst of a vast Hindu majority we work with the Christians in Nepal through mission personnel and partner church relationships. Our ministry together consists of church empowerment, community development, health ministries and leadership development. Ecumenism in the Church of Nepal is still under formation. The country is being torn apart by political instability due to an eight-year-long Maoist rebellion. With our Nepalese partner we feel that neither this, nor any other barrier, is insurmountable.

The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) celebrates 50 years of ministry in this South Asian kingdom.
