RENGMA BAPTIST MISSION IN THE SOUTH-EAST HIMALAYAS

It is our vision to share the Good News of Jesus
Christ with thousands of people in the Himalayas. It
is a concern of Mission where the hurting, the
depressed, the frustrated, and the confused can find
love acceptance, help, hope, forgiveness, guidance,
and encouragement in Christ. It is a challenge of
having fellowship and developing people to spiritual
maturity through teachings, seminars, and training. It
is an attempt of equipping believers and reproducing
of local workers for short and long-term personal life
witness of God. It is the dream of designing holistic
ministry focusing on the spiritual, emotional,
physical and social needs of the people in/for the
mission in the South-East Himalayas. It is the longing
of partnership and networking to build, unite and
complement each other for wider involvement of God’s
mission in the South-East Himalayas.
