Rinchen* has been a believer since he was 22 years old. He heard the gospel when he was a bus driver and drove all over Nepal. However, he wasn’t living a life in service to the Lord. “I realized I was dead spiritually for many years. I was living without knowing Jesus and serving Him,” says Rinchen.

He began to share the gospel with others but he wasn’t always confident. That all changed when he took the church planter training with Multiplication Network Ministries (MNM). “The training is very good and useful,” shares Rinchen. “When I shared from the Bible before the training, people used to argue with me and I was not able to give them the correct answers. Since I have gone through the training, I have been able to communicate with people about Jesus and His love and grace.”

Rinchen left his driving job and is focused on sharing the gospel full time. He planted two churches in the last two years and is starting another. Rinchen desires to disciple those who come to his Bible study meetings and raise up leaders to plant more churches.

They meet in the home of Badal*, who Rinchen refers to as a “man of peace.” He readily accepted the gospel when Rinchen shared it with him and now Badal has opened his home to host the Bible study meetings. He refuses to accept rent and is even working on creating a better meeting hall in the upstairs—at his own expense!

Rinchen is so blessed by this. “We don’t have money to pay rent at another house,” he says. Badal’s house is close to the market so everyone can easily come for the fellowship. Rinchen will visit them if they can’t make it.

The training equipped Rinchen to reach more people with the gospel. “I learned from the training to build a relationship with the person before sharing the gospel with her. It has made me more confident and strong in faith.”
