Hello!I’m Shristee Shrestha, from Nepal—a beautiful nation situated in the heart of the Himalayas.

Though Nepal is known for its majestic mountains, there’s a far greater story unfolding here: one of spiritual awakening and hope.

According to government statistics, only about 1.7-1.8% of Nepal’s population identifies as Christian, meaning many are still waiting to hear the good news of Jesus. Yet, I have seen that the hearts of my people are open and hungry for the truth. The number of people saved by the gospel is growing faster day by day. God is moving powerfully, and I believe we are living in a generation that will see Nepal become a light to the nations surrounding us.

This passion for Jesus wasn't always in my heart.

My journey with Jesus began in a life-changing way in October 2017, when I joined a Discipleship Training School (DTS). That season everything changed. I encountered Jesus and discovered His call on my life to make Him known. 

And I have never looked back.

DTS showed me much more of what Jesus is like and what He has called me to do. I am now a full-time missionary based in Nepal since 2018 serving with the Fire and Fragrance family. During the last few years, I realized that there aren't very many Nepali missionaries like myself, but I also know that my people and the rest of the earth need to know the love of Jesus.

I am so glad that I said YES to live in obedience with Jesus.

Over the years, God has grown in me a deep burden to see the youth of Nepal rise up as bold lovers of Jesus—fully surrendered, unashamed of the gospel, walking in their identity, and carrying His presence to the unreached. 

Out of that vision, I am now serving to lead a youth movement ministry— a generation passionate for Jesus and ready to take His light into every province of our nation. I bring leadership to our base/team of over 100 Missionary staff both Nepali and foreigners. As well I am a part of our national Ywam eldership and leading our Activate Youth ministry. 

We are doing this through a number of ways! With large youth gatherings in multiple provinces across Nepal, through prayer and worship, with training schools and so much more. 

We also have Bible translation with 6 languages currently and working on more, through Oral Mother Tongue translation. Where we bring in Nepali people who speak one of our 200+ languages in Nepal and work with them to see the whole Bible translated orally in just two years! 

We run multiple training schools including Discipleship Training School, Discipleship Bible School, School of Missions and a Worship-Intercession-Spiritual warfare and Evangelism School. Every year we are seeing 50-100 students come through our programs being equipped and trained for life with God and life as a missionary. 

I am convinced that the message and display of the love of God is the only practical and powerful alternative to transform their lives. 

We are seeing young people encounter God, be filled with the Holy Spirit, and discover their calling to transform their communities and the nations beyond.

My heart burns to see this generation walk in purity, courage, and intimacy with Jesus — carrying revival into every corner of Nepal, even to the most remote Himalayan villages.

Would you prayerfully consider partnering with me in this mission?Your prayer and support will help raise a generation from the 10/40 window and send them out as missionaries — young Nepalis who will go to the ends of the earth to make Jesus known.

Together, we can see Jesus receive His reward in the Himalayas.
