MISSION & VISION

Our mission is to minister to the needs of the people of Nepal in the name and spirit of Christ, and to make Christ known by word and life, thereby strengthening the universal Church in its total ministry.

Our vision for Nepal is that individuals and communities will be able to secure their basic needs in a sustainable manner through participation in effective and self-reliant Nepali organisations, including Nepali Christian organisations.

We consider basic needs to be:

• Security, peace, and harmony resulting from right relationships of human beings with God, with each other, and the environment.
• Human dignity and rights with justice, including religious freedom, and equal opportunity in decision-making.
• Social structures and traditions that encourage initiative, hope, and a commitment to the common good.
• Good health and health practices, sufficient food and water, education, and a sound and just economy which can provide shelter, clothing, and other necessities to all citizens.

Our vision for UMN is that we are

• A learning community of servants in fellowship with the Christian community,
• Encouraged and sustained by God,
• Promoters of justice and transformation through the sharing of God's love with the people of Nepal.
