Padamkala Kami lives in the Mugu village of north-western Nepal with her three daughters and two sons.
Five years ago, Padamkala gave her life to Christ. Since then, she has faced much persecution because of her faith, as well as her caste. Fellow villagers in Mugu often beat Padamkala, claiming that these beatings are a form of worshipping their god.
They harass her and her children, visiting their house late at night to throw things and beat them.
The villagers have stopped Padamkala’s children from attending school so that they cannot receive an education. They also prevent the family from using the shared village taps for drinking water, forcing them to drink water that is unclean.
Despite her family’s persecution at the hands of fellow villagers, Padamkala’s faith remains strong.

God almighty and blessed Lord Jesus, we rejoice with Padamkala Kami who lives in the Mugu village of north-western Nepal with her three daughters and two sons that she and her family have been counted worthy to suffer for the sake of their faith.
We praise and thank you that they share in the reality of your words found in 1 Peter 2 Verses 9-10 which states,
“9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 10 Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.”
Thank you for their faithfulness under such persistent persecution, isolation, discrimination and suffering. Continue to draw along side of them. Keep them.
We ask that Padamkala’s resilience in the face of this persistent persecution will point the villagers of Mugu to the love of Christ and that the veil of unbelief be lifted from their minds and hearts eyes.
Give wisdom to VOM partners as they seek to find the best way to help Padamkala and her children. Provide for their resourcing and clarity of ways forward and planning.
We particularly pray that her five children will be allowed to attend school again and look to you by faith for all their needs. Thank you again for each one and especially Padamkala. We praise you Lord.
Father of Marcy please have mercy upon this family.
