Hello all! For a little bit more than a year now, I have been leading and helping lead a bi-lingual Bible study for Nepali refugees in the Saint Louis area. Over the past year, the ministry has exploded. This has been largely due to the tremendous blessing of having a former evangelist, Gagan Gurung, come into the Saint Louis area. Gagan's presence has allowed for clearer translations and straighter teaching. Gagan is also familiar with cultural norms of which I am not familiar. Therefore, he has been able to reach people with the Gospel who we have not been able to connect with. Just this last Sunday, 21 of these Nepalese people were baptized at Ascension, my fieldwork congregation here in Saint Louis. A photographer from the LCMS was present at the baptisms and took pictures. Below is the link to photos he took from the service. Enjoy! Praise God that he continues to work across cultures!
