Previously baptised Nepali prisoners have grown greatly in Christ and more men and women living behind bars have put their trust in Jesus, thanks to the efforts of CMS Timothy mission partners (TMPs) and those who support them.

“We baptised several prisoners last year and they have started a fellowship group with one of our missionaries visiting often to lead Bible study and discipleship courses,” said Ram Prasad Shrestha, a TMP who leads the Missions Commission of Nepal.

He added that these new Christian inmates of Tansen prison also now take up offerings of sorts to help needier prisoners.

Ten more men and two women decided to follow Jesus, after Ram Prasad and his wife Kashari recently held separate evangelistic meetings, with unexpected encouragement from the prison warden.

“He told prisoners to follow the teachings of the Bible, which was bold, as he is a Hindu officer.

“It is an immense joy to see the Lord working in prisoners’ lives.

"They declared that even though they are behind the bars, they experience peace and freedom within their hearts.”
