I was born in a remote mountain village into a poor Buddhist family with no formal education. Though my family identified as Buddhist, daily life was shaped by Hindu influence, superstition, and shamanistic practices. Fear and ritual defined our spiritual understanding.
When I began attending school, exposure to scientific teaching challenged my traditional beliefs. Disillusioned with religion, I drifted toward atheism, rejecting the rituals I had grown up with but still searching for truth.
As a teenager, I encountered Christianity for the first time. I saw something different in the lives of believers — a living hope, moral clarity, and peace that could not be explained by ritual. At age 15, after attending a small fellowship and reading the Bible, I surrendered my life to Jesus Christ on October 30, 1997.
That decision came at great personal cost. I was the only Christian in my family and in my village. I faced opposition and isolation, yet the Lord sustained me and strengthened my faith. Over time, God transformed not only my life but my entire family. Today, my family follows Christ, and churches now stand in the very village where I once stood alone as the only believer.
In 2016, I planted a church in the capital city. What began as a small fellowship has grown, by God’s grace, into a network of eight churches and two fellowships across multiple regions and into a neighboring nation. Our mission is to proclaim the Gospel, equip indigenous leaders, and establish biblically grounded churches that multiply.
In addition to church planting, my family and I are raising 14 orphaned children, and providing scholarship to 8 children, discipling them in the knowledge and love of Christ.
As an indigenous missionary, my vision is to raise local leaders and establish biblically grounded churches that will multiply and endure for generations.
