Sponsor a Nepali child There are about three dozen children cared for outside of Kathmandu by Nepali partner ministry SARA. We support SARA and these children through Project 1:27, which is based on James 1:27 (“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”). You can sponsor an orphan for US$50 a month. This will provide food, medicine, and clothing. But even more, it will show the love of Christ to a child and answer His command to “look after...

Remembering visits with joy By Gary Fallesen, founding president, Climbing For Christ The church at Korchabang in worship. (Photos by Megh Gurung) I better understand now Paul’s letters to the young church of his day about longing to see them. In 1 Thessalonians 3:6, he wrote about Timothy’s return from the church at Thessalonica: “He reports that you always remember our visit with joy and that you want to see us as much as we want to see you.” In July, our Nepali kingdom worker, Megh Gurung, went to see the body of believers God has used us to help build up in th...

Thriving through challenge Visiting the house church at Ghapa during Mission: Nepal 2017. (Photo by Gary Fallesen) Pastor Dulsar and the church at Korchabang planted a church in nearby Dharmashala in the remote reaches of Nepal’s Mid-West district of Rolpa. Climbing For Christ was blessed to help both villages build houses of worship. As the Dharmashala church was under construction we were introduced to another church plant in Ghapa. This house church has grown to 51 saved souls. Dulsar, a former Maoist, has been busy since we met him in 2012. CLICK HERE to read the story &ldquo...

(Photos by Megh Gurung) Enjoying a spiritual feast in Humla By Gary Fallesen, founding president, Climbing For Christ Megh Gurung desired to take flight and leave the Humla District. But God had other plans. “I did not get (my) flight,” he explained, “and spent time with Kali, Thana, Hari, and (Pastor) Harka’s family. We prayed.” And prayed. And prayed. The group spent two hours together at the church at Simikot. “We prayed for the Humla District and for...

Following in God’s footsteps By Gary Fallesen, founding president, Climbing For Christ Our team treks past the church at Yarsha. (Photos by Gary Fallesen) Wherever you GO, there God is. Moses instructed Joshua not to fear: “The LORD himself goes before you” (Deuteronomy 31:8). Then Joshua heard it from the LORD Himself: “Your God is with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9). David recognized there is nowhere in the universe that God will not be present: “If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!” (Psalm 139:8)....

Mission: Nepal 2019 (Part 1) By Gary Fallesen, founding president, Climbing For Christ Friday, Feb. 22 Clouds hung over the valley as we ascended into the Manaslu area. (Photo by Gary Fallesen) We were in a Middle Eastern airport early this morning when the call to prayer rang out. I was again reading about Jesus giving us the power to “bind and loose” as found in Matthew 16:19 and Matthew 18:18. These commands have come up time and time again in recent weeks and they remain my prayer, first for Nepal and then for the other areas where God is sending us. T...

Soldiering for the kingdom The revered Gurkha soldiers have roots in the region. Soldier for Christ Megh Gurung dreamed of being a Gurkha when he grew up in the area, a place he says “is very rich in culture and heritage.” It’s also steeped in high mountains, Hinduism and Buddhism. Climbing For Christ returns to the Annapurna Region in 2019; this time exploring the Manaslu area, where the world’s eighth-highest mountain looms at 8,163 meters (26,781 feet). “I hope we can open the door to hearts in those areas,” said Megh, our kingdom worker in Nepal. He p...

God’s math doesn’t add up; He multiplies Story and photos by Gary Fallesen, founding president, Climbing For Christ “The seeds that fell on good ground are the people who hear and understand the message. They produce as much as 100 or 60 or 30 times what was planted.” – Matthew 13:23 (CEV) God’s math is multiplication. We do addition and subtraction, but God is about multiplying. We calculate 1+1+1, while God uses power to produce exponential numbers. See the story about the farmer in Matthew 13, where seed is scattered in a field – some falling on ...

Mission: Nepal 2018 By Gary and Elaine Fallesen Sunday, April 22  Pastor Tej Rokka and his wife, Bidhya (left to right); Gary and Elaine, and Bhim and Megh Gurung. Elaine is holding the C4C birthday cake our Nepali brothers and sisters presented us on April 20. We read a devotional on our flights back to the United States called “Ending Well,” which correctly stated: “it is a travesty for any follower of Jesus to arrive at the end of their race with strength to spare. We are to be poured out, spent, and exhausted on the Gospel.” Amen! The same...

The anatomy of the church The newly built church at Dharmashala. “And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”  – Ephesians 1:22-23 (NIV) The church – the body of Christ – is said to be growing faster in Nepal than anywhere else in the world. In the Mid-West district of Rolpa, the church at Korchabang went out (just as Jesus directed in Matthew 28:19 and Mark 16:15) and planted more churches. What began with one believer...

The newly built church at Dharmashala. “…and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” – Matthew 16:18 (ESV) Dharmashala is the fifth house of worship we have been blessed to help build in Nepal, dating to Dapcha in Central Nepal in 2011. We built the church at Dapcha with ministry partner SARA (Savior Alone Redeems Asians) and then helped build the main SARA church in Kathmandu in 2014. Dapcha, Korchabang and Kathmandu were followed by the building of the first house of worship in the remote Humla district in Nepal&rs...

Construction on the church at Dharmashala in Nepal’s Mid-West district of Rolpa had been delayed. But work sprang into action again last week and brother Megh Gurung (C4C’s missionary to Nepal) reported it soon would be completed. “Dharamsala is a beautiful church!!!” declared C4C Canada coordinator Brandy Fisher, who along with her husband Matthew (both Mission: Nepal veterans) helped us fund this building. “That brings me great joy to see!!! GOD IS SO GOOD!!! He is taking back the high places for HIS glory – places that were not glorying to Him, now will ...

Building another house in His name Looking over the land where God will be praised. (Photos by Megh Gurung) Work has begun on the house of worship for the church at Dharmashala in the Mid-West district of Rolpa. Brother Megh, Climbing For Christ’s kingdom worker in Nepal, said the church will be built in a month and then worship will be held there. “All the leaders arrived at the spot (where the church will be constructed) and prayed and I talked with all of them,” said Megh, who visited Rolpa with his wife. Interlocking compressed earth blocks for the building ...
