Tap Raj & Hari Maya Bhatta

I thank God for His faithfulness of twenty years in my ministry life. Still, I remember, when I finished my university studies in 2001. I had been privileged to take 15 Days of Campus Crusade training in the month of April 2001 in Kathmandu. This training brought a radical change in my life. That’s why, after that training, I made a big decision to live only for Christ, then I joined the nine-month GCTC staff training of Nepal Campus Crusade for Christ in the month of July 2001. This training helped to bring me closer to Lord. It equipped and strengthened me to dedicate myself to the mission of fulfilling the great commission of the Lord. But there was also a challenge for me. That was, I had to raise funds myself for the ministry so, I had to find my own ministry partners who can pray and support me financially. That was very difficult work for me, so I spent more time with God in quiet time and all this was possible because of the grace of God as in 2 Corinthian 12:9. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect weakness.” After completing nine-month training on Campus Crusade I was assigned to Nepalgunj, the hottest place in Nepal. I served God there only one year and then I was transferred to Mahendranagar of the west point of Nepal. At that time, no one wanted to go there because of the orthodox Hindu community. But I was ready to go there because I am from far-west Nepal and I was sure of God’s calling for my people. No local staff on Campus had been sent to this area before me. I had to choose that place because God has placed a burden on my heart for those people of Mahendranagar. By the grace of God, I and my wife Maya had been given many more opportunities to share Christ on campuses and in the local community. Many People came to Christ and we got the opportunity to develop local leaders from this part also. After that, we were assigned to our home town Dhangadhi, a major city in the far west where we have been staying since 2010. Same spirit and way God used us to be His witness s-o we continually got the opportunity to win people in Christ and develop leaders for His Kingdom. Now I am not alone but God has given many local leaders as Campus Crusade staff from the far-west province of Nepal. Since 2017 I have been serving the Lord as NLT member/JF national leader. Currently, 5 leaders are leading the national ministry of Cru-Nepal from the far-west province. He also has given lots of prayer partners and some financial ministry partners in our ministry life. In the month of May, I was appreciated for completing 20 years of Cru–Nepal ministry. Thank God for your people and for using our life to exalt your name in order to advance your kingdom in Nepal.
