When GFA missionary Chhiring Tamang first received Christ, he was the only Christian in his village. He had no fellowship with believers until he led two friends to Jesus.
At that point, he probably didn't dream that his village would one day need a church building—or that he would be the one to build it.
Chhiring grew up in this area of Nepal. A traveler first shared the Gospel with him during his high school years. After God burdened him to become a missionary, Chhiring chose to bring the Gospel back home, where almost no one was Christian.
Chhiring can relate to people, like this man, who don't know Jesus. "In my village, there was a temple," Chhiring said. "One day, I asked a few of the villagers why they were always going there, but none could give me a satisfying answer." Now, Chhiring shares with villagers the answer he found in Jesus.
God began doing great things through Chhiring's ministry. "Once I met a lady who was lame," Chhiring said. "I shared the Gospel with her and prayed for her healing, and the Lord healed her completely. Praise the Lord!"
Besides working in his own village, Chhiring reaches out in many surrounding areas and to many people groups.
Chhiring's wife, Shakita, helps her husband. They held church services in their home until the new believers simply couldn't fit there anymore.
After years of cramped meetings, like this one, Chhiring's congregation began praying to the Lord for a church building.
Here, Pastor Chhiring stands on the plot of land God provided for his future church building in answer to the Christians' prayers.
God provided money for a two-story church building that will hold 400 people.
"Today, Chhiring's district is known as a Christian district," GFA's correspondent wrote. Chhiring has started an amazing 80 fellowships in his previously unreached area.
As his church nears completion, Chhiring rejoices in what the Lord is doing.
