Religious Situation
Nepal
was known as the only Hindu country in the world. But now it's a secular
country. 80% populations of this country is Hindu. Temples are more in numbers
than the schools and colleges. 33 million gods are worshiped by the Hindus. They
worship idols in their homes and sacred places. Huge animal sacrifices are made
every years. Though Nepal is known as a secular country, it has Anti-conversion
law.
Christianity
Christianity
was introduced in Nepal in 16th century by western missionaries. Churches
were planted in the Kathmandu valley. But later King Prithivi Narayan Shaha
expelled all Christians including missionaries out of country. After this doors
for the evangelism in Nepal was closed nearly for 200 years. No churches were
planted, no one was converted during this period. After the Second World War
doors of the Nepal were opened for the other countries. Thus Nepal began to evangelize
again. The first modern church of Nepal was planted in 1952. The first church
of Nepal is only 67 years old. God worked in this countries amazingly. Now it's
one of the top countries where Christianity is growing the fastest. Officially
only 1.4% population of Nepal are Christians. Because of Anti-conversion law
many Christians are being persecuted now. Preaching gospel is strictly
prohibited in Nepal.
