Mission Work & Impact
There’s a sweetness in the air in Nepal. It’s in the gentle wind, the subtle hints of revival that is stirring in the hearts of its people. Come with us. Join in as we humbly enter the throne room of God and partner with what He’s doing in this incredible country.
Friend, God desires you. He loves time with you. He is ready to run with you as you carry the Good News to the nations, and if Nepal is on your heart, Let’s GO!
Words from the field:
I had a sweet opportunity to share my story with a lot of people this month. I relate to a lot of the broken folks because I was just a “richer” version of them a year ago. I may not have lived in a slum but I lived in a private hell that was nastier than anything I’ve ever known. Brokenness is brokenness. Whether you live it out in a classy area or in devastating poverty doesn’t matter to satan. So naturally, as I shared, that darn devil tried to throw lies at me to knock me off course.
But God whispered reaffirming, it’s finished.
The shame, utter heartbreak, my old spiraling out of control self are no more.
God breathed “In the greatest exchange of your life, I took it.”
He took my brokenness and nailed it to the tree. And because of that, the suffocating chains of my past are nonexistent. The love I feel from Him is so undeniably thick that I can’t walk around without smiling. He has brought me here for such a time as this and His name has been glorified again and again and again. His love is limitless and His power is unfathomable. So I will continue to tell my testimony and if satan tries to throw lies, I will loose the hounds of heaven on his stinkin butt.
I stand on His foundation in complete awe of my Maker.
Here’s what ministry could look like while you’re in Nepal:
-
- Engage in heartfelt conversations over a cup of milk tea
- Work alongside a dedicated church planter
- Collaborate with a musical family ministering to a tribe
- Participate in social work, volunteer efforts, and disciple-raising initiatives
- Weave hope and faith into Nepal’s diverse landscapes.
- Embrace impactful opportunities like countryside evangelism
- Connect with the youth through soccer and youth camps
- Contribute to the spiritual and social enrichment of the local communities

God still does the miraculous. I so confident in this. I am confident that God loves people radically and furiously. Signs and wonders, miracles and healing are the display of His amazing, furious love in the world today. Let me tell you about His love in display in Nepal. – Chelsea Charles, World Race 2016

Let every moment of your life be a moment to serve Jesus and serve others.
Let your life be a ministry that reflects Jesus and the salvation He offers each one of us.”

Agape Mission International is engaged in outreaches to the slums, teaching vocational skills, combating human trafficking, and teaching the art of listening prayer.
Culture
Visitors should dress conservatively, especially women. If encountering a Nepali dressed entirely in white, it means that the person is in mourning.
Ask permission before taking photographs in temples. Do not step over people’s feet or any other parts of their bodies. To sit with feet pointing at someone is insulting, especially toward a monk or llama. It is also insulting to pat children on the head.
The left hand should never be used for eating, handling food, shaking hands. However, presenting or accepting gifts is always performed with both hands.
Explore
One of the highest swings in the world is located in Nepal. Take a day-long trip outside Kathmandu to a bridge suspended above a scenic valley and experience the heart-fluttering drop down into the valley below.
Make sure to eat a traditional Nepali meal, and drink a cup of chai!
Stock up on all your Nepali style clothing in the Thamel shopping alleys.
