Pastor Raj Kumar
Paster Raj is the visionary for the Bible school and for the new church, which will be built beside the school
Kaj Kumar is currently the pastor of Anugraha Aashis Church in Kathmandu and the founder and principal of the Grace Bible School in Kathmandu. He has been the pastor since 2003 after receiving his M.Div from Torch Trinity Graduate School of Theology in S. Korea. He received his Masters in Theology from the International Theological Seminary in Los Angeles, CA.
He is also the founder and president of Global Church Planting Nepal since 2008. Through these organizations there have been over 90 churches planted in various rural areas in Nepal. Our 212 Degrees organization provides the Biblical educational support through ongoing leadership seminars and conferences.
Raj Kumar has overseen the building of many of these churches and most recently our new educational facility in the rural village of Ramjakot that already sees the ongoing tutoring and advanced educational training to over 100 students from as far as 2-3 hours trek from our center. We continue our education programs in Ramjakot as the model for further development of new educational centers with the aim to provide free, quality education to the children in rural areas where they have little to no opportunities. We will also be setting up libraries to expand their education and to become salt and light to these communities.
