The battle for souls in Nepal
Meet the controversial Korean missionaries driving the growth of Christianity in Nepal. Rebecca Henschke and Kevin Kim gained rare access inside Korea’s Himalayan mission.
Nepal has one of fastest growing Christian communities in the world. Helping to drive the growth are South Korean missionaries like Pang Chang-in and his wife Lee Jeong-hee. The couple’s work spreading the word of Jesus is risky. Those found guilty of converting people face up to five years in jail in Nepal.
The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s Asia editor Rebecca Henschke and Korean journalist Kevin Kim follow the couple as they open new churches and teach the next generation of Nepali Christian leaders. This is a rare insight into an organised and increasingly controversial Korean mission, spreading the Christian faith high in the Himalayans.
Presented by: Rebecca Henschke
Produced with: Kevin Kim, Rajan Parajuli, Rama Parajuli and Rajeev Gupta
