Despite the country's majority of population being Hindu, many Nepalese have converted to Christianity because of the religious persecution many experienced.

According to a report from Global Disciples, a worldwide missionary group that trains missionaries and has a ministry in Nepal, the church in the country has grown, and it continues to expand due to tyranny and injustice from the state.

"One of the things that is somewhat counterintuitively driving that is the instability from the government standpoint and, in many places, persecution," said Global Disciples Executive Vice President of Global Development Josh Keefer.

The persecution many have received forced the church and its members to unite and since then, many continue to hear the Gospel via word-of mouth. Keefer attributed the growth to the leaders and missionaries they have locally in the country.

The examples and perseverance shown by the missionaries serve as an example and testimony to many locals who helped pave the way for them to come to Christ.

Meanwhile, other Hindu Brahmins in the country have also found the "true God" in Catholicism.

Kathmandu's Baniyatar parish member Sujan Poudel recalled the story of his journey to know God. "I was born into a family that was thoroughly Brahmin. Going to church and reading the Bible was a taboo. But one of my friends in college was Catholic, and so I got a Bible and started reading it at night, after my family had gone to sleep," he said.

This led him to attend church and catechism lessons where he discovered how essential the faith is to one's life.

"After years of of efforts, I realized that the true God is what we experience in the Catholic faith," Poudel said.

Damak parish member and Brahmin teacher Niroj Niraula admitted that when he came to know Jesus through Mass, he desired to follow in his footsteps. He revealed that the religion has become an integral part of his life as he continues to face persecution and discrimination.

"For this reason, I encourage all Brahmins to experience God, be ready to receive His grace through baptism, so as to welcome God within ourselves," Niraula said.

Niraula, Poudel and around 50 other people will be baptized on Easter as they embrace Catholicism.
