In Nepal, not many people are Christians. Many people do not know much about Jesus Christ at all. Samyog loves to tell others about Jesus.

One time, Samyog’s school had a Christmas celebration to help students learn about holidays around the world. Samyog shared that he is Christian. He answered his teachers’ and classmates’ questions about Jesus.

“I want to follow Jesus Christ all my life,” Samyog said.
