Testimony of Ram S. Nepal

As a born and raised Hindu, Ram S. Nepal heard the Gospel at the age of fourteen when he was attending high school in 1975. Through an underground evangelist who gave him a Gospel of John and explained it to him, he accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior.

He committed his life unreservedly to Jesus knowing the persecution ahead of him. His family disowned him and his brother wanted to kill him because Ram was breaking the strong family Hindu tradition. He had to flee from his village and live by taking laboring jobs. In 1978 God called him into full time ministry while reading Jeremiah 1:4-5: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” He began to experience the presence of the Holy Spirit and God’s passion for the lost people of Nepal. He went to a Bible College in India for four years and in May of 1983 he came back to Nepal to start his ministry. He was imprisoned and beaten several times for becoming a Christian and preaching the Gospel in Nepal. God used him in prison, like Joseph, to minister and ease the suffering of others by sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ. He has led many people to the Lord, planted more than three hundred churches and trained leaders who are now the pastors. He is the President to the Evangelical Christian Alliance of Nepal.
