Overview
Ruth Parajuli and her family have ministered to the poor and needy in Nepal since 2002. However, Nepal Mission was formalized and founded as a ministry platform by Ruth in 2009, with the express purpose of sharing the love of Jesus with the poor, disabled and needy people in rural Nepal. Nepal Mission engages the help of various volunteers for projects and ministry, and the mission is also supported by an Advisory Board to help with effective stewardship of resources.

Over the years God has blessed and grown the life-transforming work of Ruth and her ministry-oriented family in Nepal. Since the humble beginnings of Nepal Mission, over the years various individuals, churches, and organizations have come alongside to help empower the work of Nepal Mission.

During these difficult times, we are grateful that native Nepalis like Ruth, her family and her team of volunteers are able to effectively accomplish what most others could not even attempt.

History

Nepal Mission was founded by Ruth Parajuli, a woman who grew up on a farm outside the small village of Lamosangu, 50 miles east of Kathmandu, Nepal. Ruth and her family heard the message of hope in the early nineties, and they embraced Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. Having experienced the love of the Father personally, their passion is for others to experience that love and to know the one who sacrificed Himself for us.

In the traditional Hindu culture of Nepal, the disabled and poor are often mistreated, ignored and marginalized. The attitude specially toward disabled people is that they “likely did something in a previous life to deserve disability in their current life”. Consequently they are treated like outcasts and receive very little aid even within their own communities. Ruth’s family knows this reality from deeply personal experience—two of Ruth’s younger sisters are mentally disabled.

After receiving getting some Bible training in India in her early twenties, Ruth eventually married and moved to Colorado, US in the early 2000s. Unfortunately, fairly soon after establishing residence in the US in 2006, she found herself abandoned, and having to take care of her two young boys and herself as a single mother.

Suddenly on her own, with extremely limited English knowledge and in a completely unfamiliar culture, she gradually began to find ways to survive and provide for her children – by finding some nannying and house-cleaning jobs. Friends in her Colorado community have rallied around her over the years, helped her survive and eventually get her back on her feet as a single mother.

In spite of her own struggles, Ruth has never forgotten her community in Nepal and has worked hard to raise funds and awareness about poor, disabled and needy in rural Nepal. In 2009 she formalized Nepal Mission as a ministry platform. God has faithfully sustained her and her two boys over the years and they still continue to serve the people of Nepal as they base themselves in Colorado and personally make frequent trips to Nepal to serve the poor and the disabled in rural Nepal.

2015 Disaster Relief

As a result of the tragic August 2014 landslide that killed over 150 people just 2 kilometers from Ruth’s family home, Ruth began mobilizing help and as a result, Nepal Mission began providing emergency relief to survivors—tents, blankets, winter coats, etc. This disaster relief effort became a pre-cursor to much larger relief efforts, when the devastating April 2015 earthquake struck central Nepal. The Sindupalchok District (that includes Ruth’s village of Lamosangu) was among the hardest hit, and sustained over half of the 9,000 fatalities. In Ruth’s village, her dad’s house somehow was virtually the only one still left standing, so it quickly became Nepal Mission’s disaster relief coordination center for Lamosangu and its neighboring communities for the following: 

1. storage and distribution point for truckloads of food that Ruth’s brother brought in from Kathmandu
2. bundles of tin and building supplies that Nepal Mission provided – enabling over 200 families to build shelters against the monsoons that followed after the earthquake
3. for sharing the Message of hope and encouragement to those they ministered to
