In Nepal, near The Himalayas, the birthplace of Buddah and predominately Hindu country is now turning Christian. In 1960 there was no Christians in Nepal, as of now (2023) there is over 500,000 Christians! The main missionaries are South Korean, and they risk persecution under the Anti-Conversion Law in Nepal. (Christian missionaries target the birthplace of Buddha in Nepal https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-64235873)
It is ironic as America is falling away, churches emptying and Buddhism & Hinduism spreading via Yoga in the States while the birthplace of Buddah is now turning to Jesus. As European cathedrals are converted into Yoga studios, and Christians in the US go to Yoga, becoming influenced by Buddhist and Hindu spirituality, the site of Buddha is raising up crosses, building churches, and turning away from the false religions.
Christianity is in decline in Europe and the US bur in the rest of the world it is soaring, estimated to reach 3.1 Billion by 2030. At this point missionaries from Korea, the Middle East, and etc are targeting the once Christian Europe and declining Christian US as mission fields. Tragically the nations that once hailed Christ and have cathedrals, churches, and a history of honoring Him are now full of nonbelievers or Nones, and need evangelizing from these faith-filled foreigners. It truly is a paradigm shift in church history, that the places with slogans like, “In God We Trust”, “Jesus is An Englishman,” “Here I Stand,” now need missionaries to remind them that Jesus is the only way to Heaven (John 3:26-18, John 14:6).
We should encourage the zeal of these missionaries from the East, that there spread of evangelion unseats the Buddha, the Brahmin, and beyond! Amen.
