IGLESIA LUZ DE CRISTO
NEPALI TRANSLATION PROJECT:
​
The church in Nepal is growing, but many believers and pastors lack access to solid, biblical resources in their own language. To equip and strengthen the local church, we are working on a high-quality translation and publication of the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith in Nepali—a foundational document that has guided faithful churches for centuries.
Mission Statement
​
Our mission is to glorify God by equipping and training faithful men for gospel ministry, planting and strengthening local churches grounded in the 1689 London Baptist Confession, and providing Christ-centered care for children in Nepal.
​
About Us
The core of this ministry is leadership development and church planting training. Currently, two training programs are operating in Nepal, with plans to launch a third. In addition, the ministry has founded Grace Institute of Theology, a seminary offering degree programs in partnership with Miami International Seminary (MINTS). This institution seeks to provide sound theological education to equip pastors and church leaders for long-term gospel impact in Nepal.
​
A significant milestone in church planting efforts has been the establishment of Antioch Baptist Fellowship, a congregation committed to the doctrines outlined in the 1689 London Baptist Confession. Beyond this single church, a broader network of churches has been formed, consisting of graduates from the training programs. While many of these churches are still in the process of aligning with the 1689 Confession, they are being shepherded toward greater theological clarity and biblical fidelity.
​
In addition to theological education and church planting, the ministry also operates a children’s home caring for 13 girls. This home provides not only shelter and education but also a Christ-centered upbringing, ensuring that these children receive both physical and spiritual nourishment.
​
Through these interconnected efforts—leadership training, seminary education, church planting, and compassionate care for children—the ministry is working to build a strong and faithful Christian presence in Nepal, firmly rooted in biblical truth.​​

Strengthening the Church in Nepal with Sound Doctrine
The church in Nepal is growing, but many believers and pastors lack access to solid, biblical resources in their own language. To equip and strengthen the local church, we are working on a high-quality translation and publication of the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith in Nepali—a foundational document that has guided faithful churches for centuries.
​
A draft has already been completed, and we have partnered with Reformed Book House, a trusted Presbyterian publisher, to help with editing, design, and printing. They have provided us with a quote of $1,000 USD to produce the first 500 copies, which will be distributed to churches, pastors, and training programs throughout Nepal.
​
Why This Matters
-
Equipping Churches – Many churches in Nepal lack doctrinal resources. This translation will provide them with a clear and faithful summary of biblical truth.
-
Training Future Leaders – The 1689 Confession will be a vital tool in our seminary (Grace Institute of Theology) and church-planting network, strengthening pastors and church planters.
-
Laying a Foundation for More Resources – With the Lord’s provision, this will be the first of many biblical translations to come, ensuring sound teaching for generations.
