Missions to Nepal and Sri Lanka

Last month, Lynley flew from New Zealand to Nepal on a mission trip to teach the restoration of all things. As many of you know, some of our books and tracts have been translate into Nepali by our co-worker, Sanjeev. Sanjeev also knew a pastor in Sri Lanka and wanted to share the Good News with him and his congregation.

Nepal is north of India in the Himalayas. Sri Lanka is an island southeast of India.

So after holding some meetings in Nepal, Sanjeev and his wife, Kiran, and Lynley flew to Sri Lanka to introduce one particular church to the Gospel. This is Sanjeev’s report on this mission trip.

The Nepal Mission

As per prayers and plan, we (Mom Lynley, me, and Kiran) organized three big meetings in three regions of Nepal. The first place where we did three days meeting is called Kolhavi, Bara where Pastor Prakash Das called all the Pastors, leaders, and some enthusiastic believers for the meeting. There were more than 50 people who participated from different congregations.

The meeting started with praise and worship, and for two days Mom Lynley preached the message about the restoration of all things with very genuine Bible message. People were listening very silently, and Pastor Prakash Das was surprised that we got this message so late. He finally said that this message was for everyone—not for us only—and now I have responsibility to spread this message to many as much as possible. We also got an opportunity to preach a very simple message in the regular church fellowship.

Then we started our journey from Bara to Rautahat. We called some pastors in my house for the meeting and almost 10 members participated. After the teaching, some pastors raised questions and mom Lynley answered all their questions from the Bible, and they become convinced.

After the Rautaht we came to Mahottari and did two meeting places called Aurahi and Gorigamma with the same message of the Restoration of all things, three feasts and his plan to save all mankind. In Gorigamma one pastor named Shyam Kishor Yadav asked a question regarding hell, and Mom said that there is no hell. Then he became a little angry and a little confused, so mom suggested that we sit together for better understanding.

We had a good question/answer session together with three pastors, and after knowing many bibles verses, they understood the reality. He said that “I am 20 years old Christian but never realized that the deep truth of the bible verses. We always used to understand the surface teaching”.

Even though first time I called him in the meeting. After the meeting he understood this teaching for all the Pastors, and he forgave me as well because he had a wrong perception regarding our teaching and about me. He said to me that now I will blow one trumpet and will do meetings again in my place.

The Sri Lanka Mission

On the date of 16th March, we flew to Sri Lanka and met with Pastor Rajan, and on the date 18 March he organized the meeting in the Madampe Church. Pastor Reynolds interpreted the teaching, and there were 22 Pastors. The meeting went smoothly with the teaching of restoration of all things, and we distributed The Feasts of the Lord tracts as well. Even though Pastor Reynolds highlighted the same message in the Bible, during the time of teaching he came to realize the real meaning, but Pastor Roshan was surprised with the message. He sat with Lynley and found the related Bible verses to get more clear understanding, and at last he was convinced.

Ps Reynolds and Rajan got some of Gods Kingdom Ministries books, and they are reading it and they are contacting Sir Stephen through his website.

We have met Chathu from Sri Lanka, who has been translated our tract (The Feasts of the Lord) and asked her perception regarding GKM teaching. She is impressed with the teaching, and her English is good and is a good Christian, so she agreed to translate our tracts into Sinhalese language and will distribute to many Sri Lankan Pastors. At the same time Ps Rajan took us to meet with Rashika to share the doctrine and teaching.

Trip Conclusion:

The trip to Nepal and Sri Lanka was fruitful, with various meetings and interactions conducted successfully. The team effectively engaged with pastors and leaders, sharing important teachings and plans for the ministry in 2024. The team also had the opportunity to understand the perspectives of the local pastors regarding GKM. All travel arrangements were executed as planned, ensuring smooth transitions between locations.

Translation work is on Progress in Nepali and Sinhalese

Just recently Sri Lankan team had translated the tract (The Feast of the Lord) and printed it out on paper and distributed to the pastors who have attended the meeting. I have translated the “Who We are” and “Statement of faith” in Nepali, because when we are sharing the website people firstly searching the doctrinal belief. We are praying for a good Nepali/Hindi translator who has a heart for God and has better understanding of the Bible with good English.

1. Praise and thanks to our Lord for the blessed meeting with pastors in different region of Nepal.
