For many years Pastor Indra Binod often had dreams of God pushing him towards the rural villages of
Beltar
and leaving his familiar life
in Jhapa behind and in 1999
he took his family and went! In the beginning, it was very slow and very difficult even to
survive.
It was only him and his
family
to build the church.
In those days, most of the villages surrounding Beltar had no electricity, no transportation, no
communication,
and little access to clean drinking water. No one there had heard about the Good News of Jesus
Christ.
Pastor Indra, his wife and family, all struggled with persecution by neighbors and villagers,
threatening him and telling him not to build a church there or share the Gospel. Often times people
tried to
chase him and his family away from Beltar, but thanks to God and Pastor Indra's unshakeable
faith,
they kept moving from village to village, determined to tell them about Jesus. Many people were
saved and came
to faith.
Despite having few economic resources, Pastor Indra gave himself, day and night, year after year,
for the community
and villages surrounding Beltar - families,
children, widows, orphans, the elderly and the disabled. Pastor Indra and Darshan Church have helped
provide those in
need with
food, resources,
education, employment opportunities, a place to worship and most important, hope in tomorrow through
our hope in Jesus Christ.
And it all started with a dream!
Today, Pastor Indra manages 5 Branch Churches in Udayapur District and provides church services for
8
different villages
in the hills around Darshan Church. The Main Church has over 100 faithful believers who are
committed
to God and
spreading the Gospel and hundreds more are served in the local villages.
Sujan Ghimire serves as manager of Darshan Church and is responsible for keeping church operations
running smoothly, including fundraising and spiritual support for both Pastor Indra and the church
members.
Please pray for this ministry.
