Magar in Nepal

Magar in Nepal The Magar of Nepal may be of Tibetan descent because their language and dances are similar to those within the Tibetan culture. Some Magar live on the plains where the Himalayan hills begin; others occupy the lower hills of the Mahabharat Lekh; a few inhabit the high altitude mountain areas. They are very jovial and love to sing and dance. Ministry Obstacles Problems to overcome include geographical barriers, opposition from Maoists, opposing spiritual forces, and militant religions. Outreach Ideas Approaches to access include visiting evangelists and teams to share the Gospel message via stories and films, as well as with printed literature and Scripture. Pray for the followers of Christ Pray for the believers among the Magar, that the Lord will give them the Spirit of revelation that they may know him better, and that the eyes of their hearts may be enlightened to know the hope to which they have been called. Pray the pastors will lead holy lives, serving their flocks with wisdom and diligence.
