About My Family

I am from Bhutan, a country in Asia near China and India. I lived much of my early life in Nepal. In 2009, I moved to the United States as part of the refugee relocation program and settled in Cincinnati, Ohio. Most of my family was raised in the Hindu religion.

I met my future wife, Purna, in 2009, and she was a Christian. She and others shared the good news about Jesus with me, and I was saved. I was baptized in 2010 and began helping at the first Bhutanese/Nepali church in Cincinnati called Grace Nepali Baptist Church.

Purna and I were married in 2011, and we now have two daughters. Ismarika is 4 years old, and Alina is 2 years old. Much of my extended family lives in Cincinnati, so God has blessed me in a great way.

About My Church Plant

After being saved in 2009, I began working with a new church plant to reach the Bhutanese and Nepali people with the gospel. I served as music minister, youth minister and helped with outreach. The church has now grown to more than 200 people.

I have a real desire to reach the lost and share the good news with them. More than 10,000 Bhutanese/Nepali people live in Cincinnati, so more churches are needed. I plan to plant a new church in the Forest Park area of Cincinnati.

Thank you for your prayers and support. If you would like to help with or be part of this new church please contact me or the North American Mission Board.

NAMB Church Planting

Demonstrated Christian character is essential for missionaries and chaplains to gain credibility and build community. A missionary is a person who, in response to God's call and gifting, leaves his or her comfort zone and crosses cultural, geographic or other barriers to proclaim the gospel and live out a Christian witness in obedience to the Great Commission. The North American Mission Board supports missionaries serving across the United States, Canada and their territories. Churches are the missionary incubators and sending centers for missionaries through the Southern Baptist Convention. Missionaries serve in a variety of settings and face tremendous challenges. But the rewards are tremendous and life-changing. Missionaries have the privilege to represent their church and their Father in sharing the gospel as the primary focus of their activity. If you are interested in pursuing next steps as a potential missionary or chaplain from your church, explore the possibilities at namb.net/send-me.

Pray

Pray for me and my family as we set out on this new mission. Pray many Bhutanese and Nepali people in Cincinnati will hear and believe the gospel. Pray for churches as they prepare to send out missionaries and chaplains to push back lostness in North America. Pray for receptive hearts among the people in communities where missionaries and chaplains serve. Pray churches and individuals will partner with missionaries and chaplains, giving of their time and talents. Pray the Father will send more workers into His harvest.

Participate

Help our new church plant by praying, participating or providing. Connect as a Sending Church or a Supporting Church with our work. Commit to long-term missions support with your missionary partner. Be involved in supporting missionaries and their families. Pray for missionaries.
Many missionaries build a team to join their ministry in prayer, participation, and provision. These friends, family and churches support missionaries beyond the tithes and offerings given within the church plant.
