The Cave Pastors Of Nepal

For many years, I have had the privilege of preaching for an astonishingly fruitful church planter in Nepal named Samuel Rai. Trained by the London pastor of the Metropolitan Tabernacle (where Spurgeon once served), Peter Masters. After his conversion to Christ out of a life as a Maoist revolutionary, he has to date established an astounding 350+ Baptist churches in his region, with many congregations located in almost inaccessible Himalayan valleys at altitudes most of us could not deal with.

     Attached is a PDF featuring the testimonies of twenty-one of these mountain pastors of small congregations who live in valley caves in the highest mountain range in the world!  Though I could never remember their names, I recognize a number of their photos from having preached to them at various conferences over the years.

     Please download and carefully read their testimonies and prayer requests, and then consider presenting them to your congregation to provide short-term support (two years) for one or more of these Baptist pastors.

     Nepal is a communist country, yet it is there that the fastest-growing Christian community in the world is located. These preachers live way off the grid and away from any modern conveniences. Your prayers and short-term support can provide much-needed encouragement and aid them in establishing more churches.

     If you'd like, I can provide you the names of preachers in the USA and the UK who have traveled to Nepal and can attest to Samuel Rai's ministry.  As well, feel free to text or email me to set up a phone call so I can answer any questions you might have about Samuel Rai and his ministry (I typically do not answer calls from callers I do not know).

Blessings, for Christ's sake.
