Across the mountains of Nepal and throughout India, pastors and church leaders are faithfully serving their communities, often in challenging and under-resourced contexts. Despite the obstacles they face, our more than 50 Advance churches in this region continue to preach the gospel, make disciples, and strengthen local churches. 

Over the past two years, church-to-church partnership has played an important role in strengthening leaders in these nations. Through regular visits, leadership training, conferences, and ongoing encouragement, churches have been able to support one another in meaningful and practical ways. 

Local leaders have travelled thousands of kilometres to encourage pastors, strengthen churches, and help build healthy gospel-centred leadership. Alongside this, regional gatherings have brought leaders together for teaching, prayer, and mutual support, helping to lay foundations for future church planting and ministry. 

What is particularly significant is that these churches are not simply receiving support. They are increasingly equipped to strengthen others. As leaders are trained and churches grow in maturity, the gospel continues to spread into new communities and regions. 

God is doing incredible work through local churches across India and the Himalayan region. Pastors are faithfully serving in difficult, under-resourced areas and need partnership and support. 

Church to Church builds relational and financial connections between Advance churches in Nepal and India and Advance churches worldwide. For about $250 a month, a partner church can help support a pastor’s family and assist with basic ministry expenses.
