I am Bijay Tamang from Dhading District. I have five members in my family. father, mom, two sisters, and me. I used to go to Church for enjoyment with friends. After that, I came to Pokhara for my studies.  I grew up in a Christian family so I was surrounded by God and the church from the very beginning. 

I was raised in a Christian home, but just followed through the motions of doing Christian things, I didn’t know Him, I just knew about Him. I found myself searching for purpose and meaning in people and also in myself. Whether that was my friends or in relationships, I poured my whole heart into them. I also became very fixated on myself and my image. I became very consumed with what people thought of me and was living for the acceptance of the world.  At my lowest point when I was alone and afraid, God drew me to Himself. From growing up in a Christian home, I knew what to do. I knew that He could save me if I just let Him. I confessed that I am a sinner and that I was trying to find life in other people and myself. I acknowledged that He sent Jesus to die on the cross so that I can be saved from my sin and have eternal life.         

I committed to living for God instead of others. and after that, I went to Bible college to get to know Him more, and in 2017 B.C I completed my Bachelor of Theology from Nepal Evangelical Holiness Theological Seminary. God showed me His divinity, Righteousness, mercy, love, and so on. He made it clear that I do not have to earn my salvation or His love. He has given me fulfillment and purpose and joy. I am not perfect and I still mess up, but God loves me despite my flaws and imperfections. And when the things I was pursuing continually let me down, God has never once left me. He has shown Himself to me in His Word, the Bible, in verse of scripture. God loved me even at my lowest point and He rescued me from myself and eternal separation from Him. Now I am sure for my salvation, 

Thank You, Lord
