Nepal

This is a country where the Unification Church has a firm foundation. Pioneering began in 1975 by three missionaries; Steve Conlon from the United States, Takahiro Odawara from Japan and Rainer Schmiedel from Germany. Seven full-time members received international Blessing in 1992.

The Nepalese government forbids its countryman to convert to Christianity. People are immediately arrested if a Bible is found at their house. If they witness or convert from Hinduism to another religion, people are sentenced to seven years in prison along with the missionary who witnessed to them. Underground activities are continuing.
