Although the month-long evangelistic media campaign ended in January 2011 the crucial follow-up ministry continues strong in Nepal. The call center’s toll free line is still operational and dozens of calls have come in every month. About twenty thousand hits have been recorded on the specially created campaign’s website each month.
It is remarkable to note that the evangelistic campaign book continues to minister to people in Nepal. For example a church in the district of Chitwan had contacted two hundred people who called the call center during the campaign and gave each one a copy of the book. At the time of this writing eight of those people have accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior, says Pradeep Jha, Nepal’s campaign coordinator.
Although the campaign was targeted at Nepal’s capital city, Kathmandu, it was felt in neighboring India as well. —One man traveled to the city of Pune taking with him DVD’s and many copies of the campaign book. Now he is sharing the Gospel on his own time while he is there.
Book goes to construction sites and the army
The testimony of Bhim Deuwa, an ex-Maoist, is featured in the campaign book that contains life-changing stories. He gave 90 copies of the book out to construction workers in town. They were astonished to meet this man whom they recognized as a Maoist member who had killed many people in the past. This resulted in the chief of security at one construction company who immediately accepted Jesus as Lord.
160 campaign books have been delivered to the Nepalese Army base in eastern Nepal as well. This has resulted in a new harvest field for souls. A prayer group has now been established at the base where newborn Christians receive counseling and instruction for their new faith in God. Next they plan on showing the life-changing stories that were featured on TV during the campaign to the soldiers. —This type of response is a source of great blessing to us, says Pradeep Jha.
