NEPAL

Go Back

Nepal is a country in South Asia that lies along the southern slopes of the Himalayan mountain ranges. Kathmandu is the nation's capital. Nepal is a landlocked country located between India to the east, south, and west and the Tibet Autonomous Region of China to the north. Wedged between two geopolitical giants, Nepal seeks to keep a balance between the two countries in its foreign policy—and thus to remain independent.

As a result of its years of geographic and political isolation, Nepal is one of the world's least developed nations. The large-scale migrations of Asian groups from Tibet and Indo-Aryan people from northern India, which accompanied the early settlement of Nepal, have produced a diverse linguistic, ethnic, and religious pattern.

Additionally, Nepal is a young country, with more than three-fifths of the population under 30 years of age. The birth rate is about the same as the world average, while the death rate is lower than the world average. These factors provide the church in Nepal with an opportunity to raise up a generation of Jesus followers in Kathmandu that are sent out into the many unreached tribes throughout the countryside.
