Pastor Krishna B Pariyar, President of the 'Feet Ministries of Nepal' and 'Nepal Children's Welfare Association' and Senior Pastor of New Life Church, Kathmandu, has began the first Nepalese Fellowship for Nepalese people living in the United Kingdom.

Mr Sobin Pariyar known as "Paul", a Nepalese UK resident himself will be working full-time to share the Gospel with other Nepalese people in the UK. Pastor Krishna's aim is to establish and encourage long-term Nepalese Christian Fellowships and churches within the Nepalese communities across the country. Mr. Pariyar will be working in partnership with like minded Pastors and churches adhering to sound Christian principles.

There are an estimated 100,000 Nepalese people living in the UK, including serving or retired Ghurkha soldiers, businessmen, students and immigrants.

Pastor Krishna's vision is to locate and build relationships with Nepalese people in the UK and bring the good news of Jesus Christ to them. He will try to help with their social, cultural and spiritual needs. For Nepalese people that are already Christians, he will provide pastoral care and encouragement with an emphasis on outreach and evangelism. Pastor Pariyar says, "My new ministry began with a call from God. It will be a huge challenge but very exciting."

Many Christian speakers visiting nepal recently from western countries such as the USA commented on the decline of churches in the West, but an increasing number of new churches being established in Eastern countries. Many of the speakers were therefore urging Eastern Church leaders to send missionaries to the West. Pastor krishna said, "I knew God was saying that it was my time to go and witness in the West."

In 1995, Mr Pariyar had a vision for Feet Ministries while he was a student at the Kingdom Faith Bible College in the UK and subsequently started the 'first' Feet Ministries Fellowship in Lalitpur, Nepal. The Fellowship which is now known as 'Khumaltar New Life Church' has over 500 members and 8 sister churches. Pastor Krishna is the founder of the Nepal Children's Welfare Association and oversees the 3 childrens orphanage homes in various locations in Nepal with a total of 60 children.

As part of a new initiative to serve Nepalese people in the UK, Feet Ministries is encouraging and supporting Pauls family to do the same work as Pastor krishna. Paul and his wife Mithu Pariyar and their two children arrived in the UK in August 2003 and have settled in Lincoln. Mr Paul Pariyar has a heart for this ministry, like Pastor Krishna, and is fully committed to the continuation of this vision.

I would like to encourage all Christians to pray and support this new ministry so that many Nepalese people might come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour.
