Media Ministry as an
opportunity for
evangelism in Nepal
Binod K. Dahal - Comunicación y Medios
Overview
The Issue
Nepal has small territory. In spite of that, the gospel message
has not been reached in many part of Nepal. Facing with the
geographical obstacle and dominated by Hindu religion,
evangelism has been very hard in this country. In such
situation, media ministry would be one of the best methods
to evangelize throughout the country.
What is the ideal way to promote evangelistic action with the
use of Media communication in Nepal?
Adventist world Radio(AWR)- Nepal has been working as only
the media ministry in Nepal. It has been broadcasting
throughout Nepal from different radio station. Many positive
reports have been coming through this program. But
Adventist Nepal has struggling to produce television
programs and videos and other possible media evangelism. It
is not that easy to have such programs as well. Lack of
resources and economic challenge has always made this
harder.
The world is running into digital field. Generation of today is
depended on media and technology. It’s the same with Nepal
as well. But Nepal has failing to update its contain about
media in the field of gospel evangelism.
If Adventist society in Nepal needs to grow, its very necessary
to find the ideal way have media evangelism. If we could
have this ministry, many people could receive gospel
message from anywhere. As being 10/40-window country, it
is still lacking a lot of privilege to grow in Christ. About 99%
people are not Christians here.
A pastor can preach in front of thousand persons, but with
the help of media ministry the same preaching can be
reached into thousands and thousands of people. This is
what Nepal need for evangelism: to find the best way to
evangelize the word of God and that might be Media
Ministry.
Hypothesis

Nepal.
