Multiplying Nepali Disciples

Almost 2 months ago I (Jacob) had the privilege to start discipling Santa, a Nepali man (about 23 years old) who grew up in a Hindu family. Up until about 8 months ago he spent most of his time hanging out with his friends, drinking and partying. But God placed a few Christian friends in his life who convinced him to join a Nepali church in the area. The Spirit changed Santa’s heart pretty radically, and within a few weeks he had given his life to Christ and stopped drinking, smoking, partying and hanging out with his old friends.

Even without anyone telling him to do so, he had a desire a be in God’s Word daily and started reading through the New Testament. He also led his Hindu mother to Christ (though his dad has yet to renounce his Hindu beliefs). About 2 months ago, then – by God’s leading, no doubt – Santa randomly came across Sabisua (my disciple since December). Sabisua told him how God had similarly transformed his life after becoming my disciple, and he encouraged Santa to get connected with me.

So I met him and began discipling him. At this point he’s finished the New Testament and is up through Exodus in the Old Testament. Santa was praying daily for a disciple for at least a month, and I finally had a chance to join him in visiting one of his friends a few weeks ago, a Nepali man, Buddhi Man. That night, after we shared with him God’s heart for the nations, Buddhi Man excitedly declared he will be a disciple and help us finish God’s work! Santa has been discipling him since.

That said, we now have 4 faithful adult men in Los Arcos: my main disciples are Sabisua and Santa – Sabisua is discipling Kharka and Santa is discipling Buddhi Man.

I believe these men are the result of much prayer, both from our team and from prayer warriors such as yourselves, as well as from those that have come before us. Please continue to lift up these men, as well as the Los Arcos Nepali community in general.

Please pray Santa would effectively disciple Buddhi Man, and that Buddhi Man would grow to be faithful and hungry for the presence of God. And please pray that these 4 men would continue to multiply in the coming weeks, especially reaching into the Hindu population of the Nepali people. Thanks guys!
