Currently we are working with people from the Chepang community. The Chepang tribe were cave dwellers a few decades ago. For their survival they were scavenging and foraging from the nearby forests or rivers for food.

Predominantly the Chepang people follow animism and nature worhipping is a part of their spiritual belief. However, the Lord has been using New Life Nepal in various unreached parts where the Chepangs reside and hundreds of souls have come to accept our Lord as their saviour.

Similarly, one of the major communities that New Life Nepal has been working is among the Dalits. Dalits or formerly designated as untouchables, are one of the marginalised people groups in Nepal.

Up until today, Dalits face discrimination based on their caste. They are still prohibited from entering temples and in many cases houses of the so-called “upper caste”. They are also ostracized from various festivals and social events.

However, the Lord has opened doors for New Life Nepal to work with this people group and almost all of our churches have members from the Dalit community.

Also, New Life Nepal also has been ministering in the Sherpa community. The Sherpas, known for their knowledge of mountains and how to summit it, are one of the resilient people groups of Nepal and in some parts of India. They have mostly remained secluded in the Himalayan region far from the gospel. But by the grace of God through our Sherpa School many people have accepted the Lord as their Lord and Savior in their lives.
