CONNECTED CHURCH Sagoal, Nepal
BEGINNING THE JOURNEY June 2017
Tik serves as a local pastor in Bardiya district. There aren’t very many churches nearby and those that do exist are fairly small. In the past it has meant churches have often relied upon resources from others.
Along with some of the district’s key church leaders Tik took part in an Integral Mission envisioning workshop, run by Sagoal.
They took the time to consider what is possible when the church uses it’s God-given potential. Reflecting on Jesus’ ministry, and their own, they came to a realisation - their ministry was not yet complete!
They’ve committed themselves to ministering to all areas of people’s lives and to running Sangsangai. To enable this, they’ve selected Tik to coordinate the process.
In the second stage of Sangsangai he realised he was not really applying God’s words himself. So he has started studying the Bible at home with his family, and helping other members of church to do the same.
‘I could see we had the resources within us. We just needed to put a plan in place...’ Tik, Sangsangai Coordinator
