Publisher's Summary
Gagan Gurung never expected he would become a Christian, let alone a missionary and never would have believed he would become a missionary to America. His family was from Nepal, but they lived in a difficult time in Bhutan. His father had taken the family to Bhutan to find work. Eventually, oppression by the government forced the Nepalese workers to leave.
Arriving as refugees in Nepal, they suffered lack of shelter, food, and water. As time went on, the camp became more livable, but never a good place to live - certainly not to raise a family. Gagan's family would live there for 22 years. T
housands of refugees grew up in the camp, married, had children, suffered, and died there. Gagan's family experienced all of this. When a local Christian missionary baptized his brother and sister in law, it was assumed Gagan would be baptized. However, when the day came, Gagan ran away.
Only later, after a miracle brought Gagan Gurung to faith, would he be baptized. Years in the camp eventually gave way to an open door in America. In his new country, Gagan Gurung would work with local churches to bring many to faith in Jesus and to baptism.
