A Friend Visits Manja in Prison


Nearly a month after the Nepali Supreme Court upheld the guilty verdict for our falsely accused brother Manja, many of you may wonder how he has been doing.

A GFA missionary in Nepal visits Manja's prison cell weekly. "Manja is doing fine," he reported. "He was sad [at first], but when we encouraged him and said the whole world was praying for him, he was happy again." This brother went on to report that Pastor Manja leads about 15 of his cellmates in worship every Sunday. Manja also helps in the prison medical department, "so he keeps busy."

Manja's wife graduated from a Gospel for Asia Bible college late last year and lives with her two children in another area of Nepal, where she is serving the Lord along with other co-workers. The children are enrolled in school and are well taken care of. Though the young sister doesn't get to see her husband often, she remains steadfast in carrying out God's call on their lives.

We appreciate each of you and your intercession on Manja's behalf. As we unite in prayer for Manja and his passion—reaching the lost of his native Nepal—may the entire country experience God's healing touch.
