Tej Rokka- Kathmandu, Nepal

Pastor Tej was born and raised an orthodox Hindu in the shadow of Mount Everest.  He accepted Christ while living at an orphanage after the death of his mother.  Presently he is the Senior Pastor of SARA Church on the Rock in Kathmandu and oversees multiple churches, SARA Training Center, and SARA Children's Home.  GTCOTR supports the Training Center, which to date has trained and graduated 67 church planters, pastors, evangelists, and church leaders. This summer our Vacation Bible School program raised $4,400 for the orphanages. Members of our church also made numerous hand-made quilts for the orphans.
 

Bicycle for a Pastor

Ninety percent of the pastors and evangelists that graduate from our Bible school go to work in the remote countryside where there is very limited public transportation. These men and women walk for hours, and sometimes days, going from village to village witnessing and working their ministries. We would like to give 10 bicycles as Christmas gifts to those who have worked very hard to make sure the gospel goes forth. Bicycles move missionaries!

Water Baptism Tank

In Nepal, public propagation of Christianity and water baptism are illegal. When someone does choose to get baptized, it is a public sign that a person has denounced all other gods and committed his life to Jesus. We are currently traveling far distances to baptize many people in filthy rivers. We would like to build baptism tanks in five cities which would serve 100 local churches.

Public Restroom Project

Sanitary and health issues are of major concern in Nepal. There are few public restrooms, so oftentimes people relieve themselves in places where contaminants continue the cyclic spread of sickness and disease. We would like to build 20 public toilets around our village, benefitting more than 500 families. These would be a blessing to our community from our church.

Goat Sharing Project

   This is a true gift "from the Stable." Being a pastor does not pay enough money to support a family in Nepal making it very difficult to spend enough time pastoring and teaching. He must continue to work long hours to provide even the basics for his family. 

We would like to buy 10 goats to give families so that they can raise the goat and make money off its milk and offspring. Each family will then be asked to donate one of it's baby goats to another pastor's family so that the project will actually multiply.

$80 each (T411)

Christmas Cakes for Orphans and Widows

Hindu orphans and widows have absolutely no help or hope for the future. I would like to take some time out during this Christmas season to show them that there is One who loves them and gave His life for them. We want to organize 10 celebration worship services especially for the street people of our area where we will sing, share the Word, and give them a special treat. We need one cake for each celebration.
