Nepal: The Battle for Souls
Nepal has one of the fastest growing Christian communities in the world. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Asia Hub explores what is driving the change.
For most of its history, Nepal - once a Hindu state - was closed off from the world. It wasn't until the 1950s that it began to open up to visitors. Today Nepal has one of the fastest growing Christian communities in the world, driven in part by the arrival of South Korean missionaries. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Asia Hub has gained rare access inside one of their missions, in the Himalayas, to explore what is driving the change. As Kevin Kim reports, encouraging someone to convert to another religion is illegal in Nepal and some are concerned that the missionaries are eroding Nepal's traditions and ancient culture.
