Manja's Trial Rescheduled a Fourth Time
Manja's appeal trial before the Nepali Supreme Court has been recently rescheduled for January 23. A GFA missionary in Nepal who is serving his third year of a 20-year prison sentence for a crime he is not guilty of, Manja has watched as his appeal hearing was postponed four times.
Even as he waits in prison, Manja has not forgotten his calling-to proclaim Christ to the unreached of Nepal. God has used him to bring the Gospel message to his cellmates, and at least four have received Christ as a result. This brings to my mind the apostle Paul's declaration that his chains were "...for the furtherance of the Gospel" (Philippians 1:12, KJV). Let us pray that God will continue to use Manja as a witness to those around him. Pray also that He will release Manja from prison if that is His will.
