A beacon in a Hindu nation
NEPAL (BP)--Imagine heading to church on Sunday, but this week you walk in the doors -– not of a large brick building with a cross ascending from the roof -- but of a fellow believer's humble home. 
"Rather than using podiums and pews, the whole group sits on the floor, including the presenter," a Nepali believer said, describing the indigenous worship at house churches in which he is involved. "The music is performed with traditional instruments, not Western keyboards or drums.
"Bible messages are presented as stories, not in 'traditional' three-point sermons," he continued. "Leaders are trained not from Western theological schools but through mentoring by local leaders in sound biblical practice and in the local tribal language."
