The ministry that Philemon and Elishiba are heading now, was shown in the heart of Philemon when he accepted the Lord at his age of 10 years and, baptized by brother Prem Pradhan in Kathmandu. He started witnessing the Lord and the Lord who called him was faithful to make the ministry fruitful. Philemon served the Lord in Nepal and India especially among the Nepali speaking people. In 1985 Philemon married Eilshiba and now, they both are serving the Lord with one heart and one mind. Brother Prem asked them to help in the ministry. Philemon and Elishiba prayed three years to know the perfect will of God about this and later in 1990, they decided to be together in the ministry with brother Prem. Prem and Philemon both decided to have the name “New Life Mission” when they reached to the town called Sonada on their way to Darjeeling from Kurseong in India. Both of them worked side by side in the kingdom of God until the time of brother Prem’s departure from this earth in November the 15th 1998. After Prem’s departure Philemon and Elishiba Chhetri are heading the ministry. The ministry is growing and the souls are coming to the Lord. Churches are being planted among the un-reached people groups both in Nepal and India. By the grace of God NLM has more than 112 churches both in Nepal and India. Also there are 4 primary schools to educate the poor, orphans and needy Children of both Nepal and India. NLM has 119 missionaries and teachers working at present.
