PREM: An Apostle’s Triumphant Witness for Christ in Nepal

A STORY THAT READS AS THOUGH IT WERE LIFTED FROM THE BOOK OF ACTS  Prem Pradhan was a Hindu. And he was a soldier. A Gurkha in the British Royal Air Force, then commander of a tank regiment in the Indian army.  But God had other plans for his life.  After being reconciled to God through faith in Jesus Christ, Prem knew he was called to reach a part of the world diametrically opposed to changing one’s religion: his own country of Nepal, where it was a crime to be baptized, punishable by a year in prison.  But not denying his Lord mattered more. So when Prem baptized others, he was sentenced to six years in prison. There he encountered demons, healed other prisoners, and preached the love of God. And that’s just the start of Prem’s story.  In 1950, Nepal had few known Christians. Today? Over one million. Prem is an important part of the reason.  PREM is a book of intimate one-on-one interviews with Prem Pradhan, reflections from those who came to the Lord Jesus through him, and a testament to a true Christian apostle.   PREM is an unforgettable, once-in-a-generation true story.  Read and be changed!  I can’t think of a better person to tell my father’s story than Bob Finley.  —Elishiba Pradhan
