My name Ananda Tamang. I was born and brought up in a Buddhist family, and came to the saving faith in Jesus at the age of 12, after reading the Bible for two years for his grandfather and parents including few other believers who would gather regularly during nights for prayer and fellowship.
My passion is to see every believer in the church discipled so they would go out and reach others as disciple makers. My heart is to see the churches in Nepal transformed through the proper and diligent teaching of the Word so that these churches will be able to reproduce contagious disciples who would see beyond borders, language and culture.
I served in Charikot(Dolakha Nepal) as a tentmaker (2004-2005) and as a pastorate member of a Nepali church in Doha, Qatar (2006-2007) while working in a furniture company. November 2007 to April 2015, I served in Jiri, known as the gateway to the Mt. Everest, running an indigenous ministry organization, and teaching the Bible in our Bible School. During my time in Jiri, I pastored the Himalayan Isai Mandali(Church) and planted a branch church, and trained many pastors and leaders in the rural villages. In April 2015, I handed the ministry responsibilities to the younger people I had the privilege of working with and mentoring for several years. Those ministries keep growing more after I moved to Kathmandu.\
By God’s grace, I received my Bachelor of Theology in 2004 from Nepal Ebenezer Bible College and my Master of Divinity from Himalayan Graduate School of Theology, Kathmandu Nepal in 2013. I earned my Doctor of Ministry degree from Singapore Bible College, Singapore in 2019.
Very soon, after pastoring the current church for eight years that has grown from few believers to more than hundred, God is prompting on my heart for new church plant. So, my family and I are transitioning so that we can go ahead and disciple those God gives us into our care and work on the next assignment of planting a church and also traveling to teach disciple making.
