Kantipur Church in Nepal is pastored by Prem Bhattarai. The church longs to make the Lord Jesus known in a country where Christians risk opposition.

Christians make up just 4.4% of Nepal’s population, where evangelism is prohibited by anti-conversion laws. Kantipur Church was planted in 2000 and is committed to teaching and preaching God’s word, making mature disciples of the Lord Jesus and evangelising the lost, despite facing some persecution. As Kantipur Church’s pastor, Prem teaches his congregation each Sunday, leads ministry initiatives (such as Bible handling workshops) and is involved in training other church leaders to faithfully preach the Bible. Prem trained on the Cornhill Ministry Training course in London and served as a Pastoral Intern/Apprentice at St Stephen’s Westbourne Park and the Evangelical Christian Church of Dubai, before moving back to Nepal to serve at Kantipur Church.
