Text from this PhotoShow:

After Namisha Chettri came to Christ, her high-caste family formally rejected her, believing that as a Christian, Namisha would lower her family’s status. She was alone until she found fellowship at a Gospel for Asia-related church.
Today, Namisha knows there is no caste in the body of Christ. She actively serves the people there, who have become her family.
Her walk with the Lord is close, as He is all she has to depend on. Namisha keeps tracts and literature with her to share the Gospel each time she has a chance.
She has to make a living herself. Since she came to know Christ, her family no longer cares for her. She sells trinkets in an open-air market.
Whenever customers come, she offers them tracts.
She also joins teams for outreach. Many people listen to her testimony. They can tell she is from a high-caste background, and they want to know why she wants to talk to them.
Young women from her church sometimes drop by, and she takes time to share with them from the Bible. God’s Word was Namisha’s only source of comfort after her family rejected her.
She puts high importance on helping the women in her church learn to read, since tracts and her Bible played such instrumental roles in her life.
“Her life is a blessing in our ministry,” said the pastor of Namisha’s church. “Because of her testimony, many women are learning how to stand firm in their faith.”
