Church Planting
Since 2001 God has led us to plant over 30 churches throughout Nepal in Kathmandu and the districts of Lamjung, Ghorka and Manang.
Pastors meet together monthly at pastor’s conferences for training and fellowship.
Over 100 house fellowships also meet regularly throughout the region as Nepali believers gather to pray, fellowship and study God’s Word together.
Baptisms take place from Spring – Fall. Often a few churches will gather together to celebrate this important act of obedience.
PUMA also hosts a training center in Kathmandu where young men receive Biblical training for 3 – 6 months at a time.
