| Dear Friend:
Thanks to the generous support of Christian Post readers and others, relief aid to Covid-stricken pastors as well widows and orphans of deceased pastors who succumbed to Covid-19 is already making a difference.
The World Evangelical Alliance (WEA) reports food aid, personal health kits, oxygen and hospital care are now being provided to our Christian family members in Nepal starting with the hardest hit rural areas. |
| THANK YOU to all who have donated to the Nepal Pastors Emergency Fund. If you have not yet given, The Christian Post and World Evangelical Alliance asks you to consider joining us by making a donation - together we can reach our $100,000 campaign goal to send urgent Covid-19 relief aid to pastors and their families.
Tragically, in the last weeks, at least 130 Christian church leaders have died, and the pandemic is getting increasingly worse due to poor health infrastructure, according to sources on the ground.
The Chairman of WEA’s national alliance member, the National Churches Fellowship of Nepal (NCFN), Hanok Tamang, said recently “many young wives have lost their husbands. Some children have lost their both father and mother. There are so many widows and hundreds of orphans, and many churches are facing a vacuum in leadership now.”
Rev. Hanok wrote to WEA leaders a few days ago saying, “Members of our team join me to thank you and appreciate for all that you have been doing to help the people of Nepal in general and the beloved Saints of the wider Body of Christ in Nepal in particular.” Quoting Galatians 6:10 he wrote: “So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.” WEA’s Nepal Pastors Emergency Covid Fund relief aid is reaching hard-hit rural churches and their communities in this Himalayan nation as Covid-19 continues to impact thousands. |
| “We are very grateful to you for taking your invaluable time to be the voice of many voiceless needy families who have gone through most difficult time caused by Covid-19 and most recent floods and landslides which killed many. The situation is getting worse horrendously,” he added.
Since 2017, Nepali Christians are experiencing increased pressure after legislation was passed that bans proselytization. Lately, defamation campaigns on social media against Christians have been denounced in the UN Human Rights Council of Geneva. WEA’s Global Advocacy Team at the United Nations has been working intensely for several years now on behalf of our Christian brothers and sisters and those of other faiths facing discrimination and persecution in Nepal.
Please join us in standing behind our brothers and sisters through their time of great suffering.
In partnership,
Rev. Dr. Brian Winslade
Deputy Secretary General
