It was some time in 1992 the need of having a Bible training Center was felt in the heart of Philemon Chhetri. It was that time when Philemon and his wife Elishiba started praying to God for the Bible School. Later their congregations and co-workers lifted the need before the throne of grace. But he was unable to start one for about ten years due to lack of space, finance and other things.In answer of their prayers, the Lord helped him to start construction of a multipurpose memorial building in February 2001 in Kathmandu, in memory of three great men of God Bro. Prem Pradhan, a pioneer missionary leader in Nepal, Leo Nehrt a senior Elder of Christ Community Church Camp hill Pennsylvania and Jajat Bahadur Chhetri, Philemon’s uncle who led him to the Lord Jesus Christ when he was about 9-10 years old. This building is to be used for different purpose of the ministries. Until and unless Joel Faith Bible School possesses its own properties and building the JFBS can be conducted in this building. Though the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ reached to some Nepali people in India for more than hundred years still the door for the gospel in Nepal only Hindu Kingdom is not yet fully opened. We believe that even in the closed land the Lord will use these dedicated people to bring many into the Kingdom of God.

 

 

JFBS: OBJECTIVES

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • To fulfill the vision and the call of God in the body of Christ by producing qualified leaders.
  • To prepare the men and women  of God for the work of Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
  • To plant the Churches throughout the nation of Nepal and in the neighboring countries  through these trained people.
  • To fulfill the need of the local Church by preparing Bible teachers.
  • To carry on the work of Jesus Christ on this earth until His second coming.
 

Future Vision

JFBS's future vision is to be able to train as many students as the Lord sends to this bible school. At present we are limited of the space and the finances. Therefore we need your prayers to be able to purchase the land and build the building for this school, which can be totally separate from other activities. So that the students will have the environment as they need.
