Raj was born into a prominent family of high caste. He believed in many gods, often spending time in the local temple. Yet, Raj sensed a profound void.
Raj’s mother, Prabhina, was secretly a Christian and had previously experienced a miraculous healing upon committing her life to Christ. She knew that if she were to tell the family of her faith, she would surely be rejected and kicked out of the house. But courage filled Raj’s mother that day as her son asked her about the image of Jesus, her Savior on the wall. “He is the true living God,” she said.
This revelation sparked an insatiable curiosity within Raj. For the first time, through the testimony of his mother, he encountered a God who answered prayers. Despite the risk of familial rejection, Raj began attending an underground church, seeking answers from the pastor after each service. Two years of introspection and learning culminated in Raj’s decision to commit his life to Jesus—a decision that filled the void he had felt throughout his upbringing.
Today, alongside his wife, Raj serves as a church planter in Nepal, driven by a mission to bring the Word of God to diverse linguistic communities through audio Bibles. His wife reflects, “We come from generations of people who hear things and learn.” Audio Bibles honor Raj’s cultural heritage.
Join us in prayer as we lift up the ministry of Raj and his wife. Ask God to multiply the fruit of their work and that more people would come to know Christ as they gain access to audio Bibles. Lastly, pray for believers in Nepal, like Raj’s mother, to boldly declare the Good News as they are strengthened by God’s Word in their native tongue.
