1. Name: Mr. Rajendra Rana Magar

Age : 28 yrs Church : Bethel Church, Surkhet Address: Sahartara V.D.C.-7 Tuppatara, Dolpa District Midwest region, Nepal. Conversion story My name is Rajendra Rana Magar. I come from the remote Dolpa District in Karnali zone. I was born and brought up in a strong Buddhist family. I could complete the study of class five only at a local primary school and went to the District headquarters to continue my school education. However, I could not continue my studies, because of the poverty of my parents. I was disappointed a bit and left my home and came to Surkhet hoping to find a job. I was hunting for job and could not find one. In order to survive, I joined a hard working labor team. While working at one house, the landlord cared for me so much and I was really impressed by him. And he took me one day to the church. I liked it and accepted Jesus Christ as the LORD in my life and have continued to go to that church. My wife also accepted Jesus and went to the church. Later the church appointed me to work in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center. The church decided to send me to this training centre to be better equipped for the future ministry and the pastor wants to send me to serve the Lord in my village back in Dolpa District after this training. Thank you for your prayers for us and will appreciate your special prayers for me as I plan to go back home in Dolpa at Tibetan border after the completion of the training and plant the churches there which is not easy. 2.
