A word from the Metropolitan:

Children in many countries are often the victims of crue

exploitation of various kinds. Mother Teresa once said The

biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis but rather

the feeling of being unwanted. Due to acute poverty in rura

villages, abandoning children is a choice that some parents are

almost forced to make.

Study reveals that throughout the world more than 150

million children between the ages of 4 and 14 are involved

in child labor. The reality may be much bigger than we

even know. The life of lakhs of children in our nation and

neighboring nations encounters countless challenges daily

We see them on the streets struggling to have one time meal,

laboring hard in shops, companies and such other places to

make their living. They do not enjoy their childhood and have

no privilege of being educated. Hunger, pain, despair and

loneliness become a part of their lives. It is always good to

remember that we did not ask to be born and raised in the

circumstances and comforts we have. We also could have

been born destitute in one of the slums of Kolkata or Mumbai

made blind and turn into a street beggar or sold into the sexbusiness to live a life of hell.

God in His mercy gave us the privilege of living with

the freedom and blessings words cannot describe. Hundred years from now, whatever we have earned on this earth - the

house, cars, cloths, bank accounts, vacations, opinion of others, honor we sought for - will have no value. Now is our

opportunity to serve these precious children. Amy Carmichael said we shall have all eternity to celebrate the victories

but we have only few hours before sunset in which to win them.

Count this as an opportunity to serve and express the love of God. It is my prayer that this Volume II of

Newsletter will help each of the readers to know better what we stand for and help children to grow wholistically.

May I quote Matthew 18:10 See that you do not look down on one of these little ones; for I tell you that their

angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven?

May the Blessings of God be with you!

It is a great joy for me to be back in Nepal,

serving alongside our Nepali brothers and sisters!

These past 17 days have been lled with challenge,

adventure, gratitude and excitement, both observingwhat The Lord is doing here in Nepal, as well as

discovering how our Nepali Christian leaders, are

serving Jesus with joy and fervor. My rst week

was spent teaching the Word of God, Spiritual

Warfare, at Duwakot to 68 young men, in our

Mens Bible College! Today, at CHITWAN, at

our Ladies Bible College, completing one week,

teaching 35 young ladies same. In regard to our

16 BES, where 174 of our Christian Teachers are

educating and reaching 3,000 children, as their school

students, from Lower LKG to Grade Six, here aretwo new testimonies, which amplify the value of our

joint partnership of our overseas Donors, as well as

reminding us all of the great gift of literacy, we are

giving our school children, teaching them to read!

VALUE OF EDUCATION

After Church, in praying for many needy

people, amongst them was a new Christian lady, who

has been suffering from spiritual demonic attacks,since believing that Jesus is the Christ! There are a

number of Christians who have been daily praying and

ministering to her! The Lord showed me that she

needed to read the Word of God, to know Who

Is Jesus and Who Jesus is in her, which is the

message of the Book of Ephesians. Asking her family

to encourage her to read Ephesians, I learned that she

is illiterate and cannot read! Fortunately, her daughter

can read and is a Christian. So, I have encouraged

them to daily read of her victory in Christ, in the Word

of God, which is her inheritance as a believer, even a

new believer!

This situation vividly reminds me of the high value

we place on Education, in order that our children can

read and eventually have the privilege of reading the

Bible! Today, the Bible is still the most read book

THE VALUE AND PRICE PAID FOR 16 PRIMARY BELIEVERS

ENGLISH SCHOOLS, WITH 3,000 NEPALI CHILDREN.Rev. Merrilyn Teague


4/16

in the entire world! It tops the list! Hallelujah!

However, here in Nepal, we are aware that today

43.4% of the entire populations of Nepal are still

illiterate, they cannot read or write! However, our

3,000 students, attending our 16 BES are learning

to read and to write English too! Teachers, fellow

brothers and sisters in Christ, do not grow weary

of your vocation as a teacher, teaching your school

children to read and write, is a powerful tool to put in

their hands. I pray that our children will want to read

the Bible and discover who is Jesus !

TO WHOM MUCH IS GIVEN OF HIM MUCH

IS REQUIRED (Luke 12:48b)

Reecting on our 16 BES where 174

Teachers, are being supported by

International Donors, overseas,

paying their salary, enablingthem to support their own

family, who may live far

away, also helping them to

buy food and even pay their

rent, even helping them to

pay school fees for their own

children! This generous

nancial support from our

Donors overseas, is

given lovingly and

liberally, yet

sacricially too,

as these Donors

are young people

t h e m s e l v e s ,

having to also

support their own

young childrens

education! Our

overseas Donors donot only give nancially to

our BES programs here in

Nepal, but also regular-

ly pray fervently for their

School, its Teachers and

especially all the school

students. When you suffer

a tragedy, when lightning

strikes a school student, or

the school faces outside persecution or opposition, or

heavy rains have ooded and destroyed homes or a

Teacher is sick and in need, this information spreads

quickly by computer to all our 30 Donors, with their

families, also their Church group meetings, to pray

with you and for your protection or provision!

We are family! We are in the Body of Christ. We

are all brothers and sisters of each other. Pray for

your School Donors, that JEHOVAH JIREH will

provide all their needs and bless their children too. Le

us pray for each other, that our Lord Jesus Christ will be

magnied, in all our lives and in whatever our hand

nds to do, we will do it with all our might, serving

The Lord.

Beloved, I wish above

all things that you will

prosper, and be in health, even

as your soul prospers 3 John

BELIEVERS ENGLISH SCHOOL KOHALPUR,

BANKE DISTRICT

Believers English School, Kohalpur is one the schools that the Department of Education, a ministry of Believers

Church has established in Nepal in the last nine years with the intention to provide quality education to the

children of this community.

GEOGRAPHY, DEMOGRAPHY ANDECONOMY

Believers English School Kohalpur is located in the Banke

District in the Mid-West Region of Nepal in the middle of

kohalpur Bazaar (Terai region). The climate is subtropical

and the temperature varies between a maximum of 36C

and minimum of 6C. A neighboring city Nepalgunj is on

South (17 km), and further 6 km is the Indian border.

Mixed group of people lives here. The Chettri, Tharu,

Brahmins and other group of Nepali people in minority

have settled here from different parts of Nepal. People

of this place depend upon seasonal agriculture product,

livestock, government work and small industries too.

It is a nancial hub of seven districts of Mid-Western

Nepal. Until 2001, there was system called feudalism

(Halya and Kamaya). The lower groups of people were

forced to work in the proprietors land for their living.

Tharu people live around our school and they are very

strict in their religion, tradition and culture. Still Dowry

system prevails in this community. Majority of them are well

settled. Since it is a nancial hub people are aware of

Education.

AIMS To improve and render quality education in the school by adding well- qualied, and basic requirement

amenities for the students

To ensure that every child is educated socially, morally and mentally

Giving preferential option to the needy in education

Developing/ renovating the infrastructure and implementing scientic tools to make it suitable place for

education.

To share the love of Jesus to the people of this particular area.

Believers English School renders its service to the loca

community by providing quality education to the needy

children. It has not only lifted the name of the church high

in the society but the school as well. Many Sunday Schools

were established and a few families have accepted Jesus

through school. Our teachers take initiative in gospel work

and help the pastor in all the activities of the local Church.

One of the most distinct features that we rarely nd in

other schools is that our teachers are not just jobholders bu

also committed and God fearing Christians. God-fearing

teachers are sowing Gods word into the students heart

every day. The students who pass their primary level from

our school and join another school have done excellen

performance in the school. The teachers time to time

counsel the parents and encourage them to send their

children to schools. Due to this, the local people have

understood the importance of education and now throngs o

408 students come to this school.

NAKALBANDA BELIEVERS ENGLISH SCHOOL

ANNUAL FUNCTION: 2070

Believers English School, Nakalbanda is located in

Nakalbanda, Kakarvitta Mechi Nagar Municipality, and

Eastern Nepal. It lies in the plain of south, just 5 km away

from Indian border namely Panitanki. It is in a narrow

valley, which is also known as Inner Tarai.

A mixed group of people populates this place.

Mongolian people like Rai,

Limbu, Tamang, Magar are the main

residents of this place. Indigenous people like Uram and

Santhali are also settled here since long time. They work

in Tea gardens. These groups of people are dominated by

other groups of people and have been ghting for their

rights. High caste people like Brahmins, Chhetris, are also

common here.

A Believers Church, with good numbers of followers of

Christ, exists here as a candle in the darkness showing

the light and leading people to Christ. The importance of

having school in such a needy place cannot be emphasizedenough.

On 3rd April, 2014 Believers English School, Nakalbanda

observed Annual Day function. Fr. Darshath Khadiya was

the Chairperson, whereas, Pr Bimal Rai was the chief guest

from Birtamod Diocese.

To make the occasion meaningful and memorable, we

invited Principals from adjoining schools. There were about

528 people, who attended the program. Gautam Pradhan a

senior teacher welcomed the crowd with warm affection,

followed by opening Prayer and national song from the

students was sung. The entire program was led by Keshab

Limboo.

To make the annual day a worth mentioning one,

the schools students performed a variety of cultural

dances, sang songs and a few students presented speech in

English too. Furthermore to make it more impressive and

blissful 100 meter race was conducted for the students

fathers and for mothers biscuit eating contest was done. The

busy day with a range of events avored the arena making it

fabulous. Those who came rst, second and third, gifts

were given to them also.

In view of the fact that Annual Day is the last day of years

performance and achievement in the school we, therefore,

particularly organized by inviting parents in handing out

the results and Annual Progress Card in the presence of

the crowd.

The school Principal presented the one years school report

and followed by giving away the results to the students by

Fr. Dasrath Khadiya, Pastor Bimal Rai and Pastor Bijay

Ghatani. Prizes were also distributed to the rst, second

and the third students of each class.

As the school has classes up to ve only, valediction

program was also done for class ve students with words of

support and gifts. They expressed their heartfelt thanks to

the entire school and promised that they would do the bestand execute well in their studies continually.

The principal of Ganga Memorial English School, who

is the Chief Guest on the occasion, expressed, I am much

grateful to the Believers English School family, though

this school is small and with pathetic infrastructure yet

the school is giving quality education which we need to be

proud of it. He also said that he wished to support and

help the school in the days to come.

A poor family and a metal box

Once upon a time, there lived a man with his

wife in a tiny village called Nakalbanda in Jhapa district,

Eastern Nepal. They lived in an old hut. They were very

poor. They did not have enough food to eat. Sometimes,

they ate rice which was given to them by other people. At

home having no plates they had their food on tree leaves.

They did not have any work. They used to go village to

village wandering and in search of work however, no one

dared to provide them any.

Frequently they used to go begging and tryingtheir luck to nd a place to work. However, seeing the

couple dirty and untidy no one bothered to give them work.

People did not have right view on them. Many times

when the Sun set, and the night fell, they slept anywhere.

Since they did not have anything, no one thought of

thieving them. In the morning, they got up and started the

day as usual.

As the time passed by, the wife became preg-

nant. After some months, she gave birth to a baby boy on

the way. They named him Aaron. Though, lots of pain

and struggles, they somehow

managed to continue their lives.

As the boy was growing, he was

becoming an obedient, kind

and good boy. He helped his

parents in small work which he

could do.

One day, they

happened to get work as

laborers to work in the eld of arich man. While they were digging the eld in order to sow

paddy seeds they happened to nd a metal box. And when

they opened the box they saw money and gold coins. This

treasure changed their life completely, from beggar to

rich. Village people were amazed to see their life. With the

money they built a big house and they lived there happily.

They also admitted their son in Believers English School.

He was brilliant and clever student and always stood

excellent in exams and other activities. Hereafter, they

lived a happy life with all the comforts.

Top 5 Characteristics and Qualities of a Good Teacher

A good teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops. - Henry Adams.

Every teacher wants to be a good teacher, but what

is this myth about being a good teacher? Who is it?

What are the characteristics of a good teacher? And

how can you become a good teacher?

Teaching jobs are often lucrative and satisfying for

people who love to teach. I am a teacher too, though I

do not think myself as a very good teacher, but I know

one thing that majority of my students do love me,

and I guess this is the point where good things start to

happen.

I was thinking about what are the characteristics of a

good teacher and how can I become a good teacher?

or Which characteristics and qualities should a good

teacher possess? So I came up with some qualitieswhich I found most relevant for a person involved in a

teaching job. I believe if a teacher possesses the following

characteristics and qualities, he/she can become a very

good teacher with a lot of fan base too.

CHARACTERISTICS AND QUALITIES OF A

GOOD TEACHER:

Following are the characteristics and qualities of a

good teacher:

1. Friendly and Congenial:

I think the most important characteristic of a good

teacher can have is to be friendly and congenial with

his students. It is a plus point for a teacher, if his

students can share their problems with him, without

being afraid or hesitant. I think students have

always thought their teachers as their ene-

mies (in a funny sense though :p). With this

mentality, they can never be close to each

other, and besides that how many teachers did you like

who were NOT friendly, and were rather arrogant and

rude?2. Personality:

A good teacher has a very good personality; there is no

second thought about it. Students always get attracted

to teachers with good personality and characteristics

which leads to better communication, understanding

and ultimately good results. Everyone can have a

good, decent, likable and presentable personality. Just

dress sensibly good, smell good, and be a little gentle

and kind. Thats all.

3. Knowledge and Teachers Education:

Another important characteristic of a good

teacher is his knowledge and own education. As there is asaying that a teacher is only as good as his knowledge is.

After all, he is doing a teachers job, which is to

teach. If he himself lacks in the knowledge of a certain

subject that he teaches, he is never going to make a

name for himself as a good teacher. So, sign up with

only that subjectswhich you have really good exper-

tise; and it is a moral duty of every teacher too. Oth-

erwise, it is not worth it.

4. A Good Communicator:

One of the very important characteristics of a goodteacher is his communication skills. He should be a

very good speaker. This characteristic will benet a

teacher in several ways. For example:

i) If his communication skills are good, he can convey

his lectures with better skill and results.

ii) If a teacher is a good speaker, his class strength

increases automatically. People love to hear a

person who can speak well enough. There is always a

shortage of good speakers in the world.

5. A Good Listener:Apart from being a good communicator, a good teach-

er should also have the characteristic of being an even

better listener. As there is Turkish proverb:

If speaking is silver; then listening is gold.

Remember, a good listener will always have many

friends and fans. Because people do not want to hear

every time, they need persons who can listen to them

as well. And when a good teacher develops this patient

quality in himself, he starts to become a great teacher.

I HAVE A

TESTIMONYBES Hile Gautam Bishwakarma

Every child longs to have a ather and a mother, wants

to be around them and parent around him/her. She/hewants to be loved, cared and be provided with gifs anda hug or kisses rom his/her parent. However, thingsdo not go well with every child.

A boy o eleven year was born in a beautiul hillyregion o Hile under Dhankuta district eleven yearsago. Te place was not developed as it is today, thereused to be no houses, shops and vehicles. Tings havechanged a lot, people are happy and lots o vehiclemovement can be seen with amazing progress. People

have been blessed due to hard work, jobs and business,nevertheless, or some; lie is still hard to try climb upthe lies ladder. In the same scenario when people aremoving are alling like a house built o cards.

Te boy, whom I was talking about, is GautamBiswakarma. He is the only son o an ailingmother Sita BK. He is studying in Hile BelieversEnglish School with ull scholarship. He is in class-IIand much disciplined good in studies and talentedstudent liked by all. He attends Sunday schoolregularly. He comes rom a low caste and a backwardcommunity. Still people discriminate low caste peoplein various ways. He now lives with his mother. It waslovemarriage and with lots o dream and assurance hisather and mom came to stay together. Lie went onwell or some time and afer a year they were blessedwith a baby boy, Gautam. Both ather and mother werehappy o having a son and counted luck in their amily,however, as the day passed by the love or each othergrew cold, and began to live a selfish lie. Teir love

marriage started to turnout to hatred lie.Finally, the husband leaving his wie and only son,went to India ten years back in search o job and hasnever come once, to see his wie and his son up to now.Since then mother is working hard to bring up his son.She works in a tea garden as a labourer and supportsher small amily.

I had a lot o dream and never thought that lie wouldbe so unair with me. When my husband was there tenyears back he and I made a lot o dreams or our

amily. He even said, I will educate my son and livehappily and things will go well. I dreamt the samedream what my husband dreamt or our amily. I chosethe wrong man to dream a delusion not a dream inreality. It hurts me so much when past lie gets recalledIt hurts me a lot when my son asks where my atheris. Where has he gone? Is he not coming back again? Ihave nothing to hide. I tell him your ather will nevercome back. I dont know where he is and what he isdoing. It hurts when my son asks me about myhusband and I dont know how my son eels becauseI see him listening to me silently. I think it hurts himtoo. Tese are the words rom a lone mother. Due tothe tension and hurt it has affected her lie so muchthat now she suffers rom psychological problem. I lieis so hard or her what would be or the growing son?Just imagine!

My name is Sara Rai, daughter o Patrus Rai and

Laxmi Rai. I am 12-year-old, now. I live in Phulgachi,Jhapa with my parents and two siblings. I have beenstudying in Phulgachi Believers English School romclass Nursery and now, am in Class-V. I am proud tobe a student o this school.

I just want to share you my entry to Believers EnglishSchool.

My parents, though not educated, rich and clever likeother people, who however, they wished and dreamt

o sending me to an English Medium School. I still canrecall the day when my ather and mother told methat they wished me to send me to a boarding school.My ather ofen saw students on the way and said tome, Do you see them? When you reach five I will sendyou too.

Tough, the financial condition was not strong, myparent had always desired the best or me. Even I haddesired to go to boarding school. When I becamefive-year-old my parents looked a reputed English

School or my admission. However, it was surprisingand saddens a bit to them when they came to know orthe expensive ees o schools.

My parents had almost lost their hope to send me to anEnglish Medium School.

At that time, Phulgachi Believers English was made anannouncement or the new enrollment or the aca-demic year and the school team happened to reach myhome. Te Principal had a talk with my parents andafer that they decided me to grant scholarship. I did

not know what exactly they talked about however, Iheard my parents talking o their hardship andstruggles and unable to send me to a good school.Finally, they told my parents to send me to theirschool. Tey assured that they would grantscholarship.

Tus, I began to go to school and I have been studyinghere rom class nursery and now am in class-V. Mystudies in this school have not been so easy. I have to

help my parents. I a am busy little girl at home too. In

the morning apart rom my studies I etch water, cleanutensils, cooking and sweeping rooms and so in theevening I do the same.

I am happy that we are Christians and my parentsknow the value o love and care. My parents love meso much and I love them too. I do the work at homebecause my parent is always busy working in the field.I know they have to work hard because the educationin Believers English School doesnt end or me, it shallgo on. Te inrastructure o the school is not good

however, there is quality education comparing to otherschools. Whoever, have gone rom our school theyhave been doing best in other schools too.

I am so much thankul to all the teachers or their carelove and teaching. Whatever they have invested in hasbeen much benefit to me. Tey have guided and helpedme a lot. From the beginning o my studies I have beendoing excellently. I am thankul or the scholarshipprovided by the school.

Tere are a ew more students like me who arestudying here by the scholarship provided by theschool. And its really helpul and has been blessinghumanity o the backward society. Te investment doon me here will not go in vain; it will help me whereverI go because my education oundation has been madestrong by Phulgachi Believers English School. Tanks!
