Summary

SummaryMy name is Rabin, and I serve in one of the most spiritually intense and physically dangerous environmentsβ€”Nepal. Despite the anti-conversion laws, I continue delivering training and encouragement to persecuted Christians. Each time I leave home, I carry the emotional weight of leaving my family behind. The fear of government intervention is real, and I’ve seen it happen to fellow partners. Once, my partner and I trekked six hours into a remote part of eastern Nepal to train believers through a β€œPersecution Preparedness Program.” The transformation I witnessedβ€”especially in a woman named SAA who chose to forgive her persecutorsβ€”was worth every challenge. On our return, we took a steep path. I was physically brokenβ€”my legs trembled, a leech clung to my leg, and I was overwhelmed. But then, God whispered to my heart: β€œYour labor will not go in vain.” Strength surged back into my body. Through every step, God reminds me that He equips the persecuted body of Christ through us. My mission is to stand firm and help others stand. β€œAlways give yourself fully to the work of the Lord…” πŸ™πŸ—»πŸ”₯πŸ’ͺπŸ•ŠοΈ

Christian activities in Nepal are being more closely monitored and anyone caught proselytising may be fined and even imprisoned. But Open Doors partner Rabin* undertakes risky journeys to deliver training and support to persecuted believers.
