Dhan Raj Ghimire
Executive Director
Before his conversion, he hated and persecuted Christians, but when God miraculously healed his wife Sharmila from a fatal heart problem when there was no hope, he, along with his wife accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior.
Since then, God has given them the vision to serve those in need, dying in the slums and streets. They both left their previous jobs (school teacher and nurse) and have been in the full-time ministry serving people who are in dire need of help.
He has traveled extensively in Nepal and abroad. He lives in Kusunti Lalitpur with his wife, son Ayooub, and Daughter Angeline.
