Send help to brave pastors in Nepal and Myanmar battling the devastating combination of poverty, persecution and Covid-19.
- In Nepal Covid 19 cases are on the rise again
- In Myanmar thousands of Christians fled into the jungle after the military coup
- Christians suffering persecution for their faith
- Scarce vaccines, oxygen, PPE, food, and hospital beds
- Pastors dying leaving impoverished families and leaderless churches behind
- Evangelicals churches appealing for help to care for their suffering people
Pastors need personal health kits, food for fatherless families and medical supplies.
Churches are mourning the tragic loss of pastors like these.

* Pastor Amar Bahadur Fauja (79) died of Covid-19 on Wednesday 12 May. His son Pastor Lok Bahadur Fauja died of Covid-19 on Thursday 6 May (see below). Father and son died in the same hospital. A loving father of the same family and loved son, both went to be with their Lord, from the same family, same Church. The father, Pastor Amar Fauja, was a renowned Godly pioneering pastor. God used him to start churches with just a very handful of believers in mid-west Nepal. Amidst severe persecution he stood firmly in his faith. Because of his strong leadership and vibrant testimony, God used Amar to stay on the cutting edge of outreach and Church planting ministry. A church leader remarked, “God used the testimony of an ordinary pastor – Amar Fauja – in our part of the region and province. Today because of his ongoing spiritual leadership, God graced us with 350 plus growing churches in this part of the world. He was a man of faith and man of action. A fearless Saint.” Pray for his wife Manisha (76).
Thanks to the generous support of WEA donors our Pastors Emergency Covid Fund is already providing relief aid to pastors, widows and orphans of pastors who have died, other church families and their community too as they struggle to survive the out of control Covid 19 pandemic. Food aid, personal health kits, oxygen and more is being distributed by evangelical churches including hardest hit rural areas of Nepal and Myanmar.
We are so grateful for all the support that has been provided to the pastors in Nepal and Myanmar. This particular campaign has closed but if you would like to support the WEA in its ongoing efforts to support pastors and church leaders through advocacy, training and in many other ways, you can click the Donate button.
