Christians in Nepal are rejected by their families and communities but remain faithful to Christ. Increasingly, pressure to return to traditional Hinduism in the country has grown as the influence of radical Hindu nationalists has crossed the border from India. Sister Rupa, a Nepali Christian, was beaten and cast out of her home for her faith in Christ. Front-line workers are helping her set up a small clothing business that will also serve as a platform to continue sharing the gospel. Sister Roshani was also rejected by her family for following Jesus. Despite hardship, she has continued to share Christ and disciple others. “Her courage is inspiring,” said a front-line worker. Pray for Christians like Rupa and Roshani in Nepal who remain courageous and faithful even at the cost of opposition and rejection.<\/p>\n
