There is a small, visible Christian community in Nepal, but believers experience opposition from extremists among the Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist and Marxist groups. Christians face false accusations, harassment and beatings from family and communities.
Goma Kunwar has suffered repeated beatings and mistreatment at the hands of her Hindu husband, Tek Bahadur, since putting her faith in Christ in 2022. More than once, his attacks have been life-threatening.
On 2 January, Goma’s husband beat her badly and attacked her with a sickle, cutting her head so that she required medical treatment.
Friends and neighbours are urging her to give up her faith. Despite the abuse, and warnings from friends, Goma does not want to leave the Lord.
