Mark 13:13 “You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.”
Extremist Hindu groups have warned foreign Christian missionaries to leave Nepal. Even though there is a new Constitution that bans people from converting others to their faith, the extremists are blaming Christians for “corrupting the country.”
Morcha Nepal, a Hindu radical group, was handing out leaflets throughout Nepal, warning Christian missionaries to leave according to a report from the International Christian Concern. A report in Fides News Agency stated that the leaflets read: “Foreign influence have manipulated government decisions” and “Christians have corrupted the country.”
A statement from the extremist group says: “From today, the Morcha declares Nepal a Christian-free Hindu nation. We warn all the Christian religious leaders to leave Nepal, and appeal to all those who converted to Christianity to return home [convert back to Hinduism].”
Despite the warnings, the Fides News Agency has reported that several Christian missionaries will stay. In Nepal, 1.4% of people are Christians and 81.3% identify as Hindu.
The warnings come after Morcha Nepal was responsible for attacks on two churches in the Jhapa region of Nepal. The bombings happened after Nepal’s Constituent Assembly received and turned down many calls to revert the country back into an official Hindu state.
