In this journey of growth, we cannot overlook the devotion and tireless efforts of the late Dr. Kwon Seung-il, the founding President of NNCC. From the establishment of the school until today, I have worked alongside and supported President Kwon in my capacity as Chairman of the Nepal Mission Support Association and Chairman of the Korea Love Nepal Foundation. From establishing the school’s physical foundation to securing ATA recognition for its academic programs and joining the Guthi system for the protection of the school’s property, the late President Kwon devoted himself wholeheartedly to the stable development of NNCC.
        As I serve as the second President of NNCC, I have a clear goal that I would like to pursue. Just as many Samaritans came to believe in Jesus because of the Samaritan woman (John 4:39), and many Jews came to believe in Jesus because of Lazarus (John 12:11), I pray that “because of NNCC, many Nepali people will return to the Lord.” To fulfill this calling, we must devote ourselves even more fully to raising leaders who can build and serve the Lord’s Church with their own hands, rather than depending solely on outside assistance. Accomplishing this mission will require greater effort, dedication, and sacrifice than ever before.
      The previous President proclaimed the vision, “Beyond Nepal to the World!” I would now like to make that vision more specific. We seek to establish clearly the mission of NNCC as “The Evangelization of Nepal and World Missions!” The B.Th. and M.Div. programs, which prepare leaders for the Nepali Church and for world missions, have already established themselves as important and highly respected programs of theological education. Going forward, the M.A. and Th.M. programs will also be developed and operated more systematically under the leadership of the main campus. As the necessary educational conditions are established, we plan to introduce additional advanced programs of theological education. However, for the evangelization of Nepal, it is especially important to raise leaders who can serve churches in every region of the country. For this purpose, we seek to expand our leadership-training programs more actively, including the C.Th. program and the D.Th. program, which is a Diploma program. These programs are currently being offered in 21 regions. In the eastern part of Kathmandu, NNCC operates the program directly. As we move farther west, however, we will expand these programs through cooperation and partnership with various seminaries and training institutions. Although we are proud of what NNCC has accomplished, we believe that the evangelization of Nepal requires us to take even bolder and more active steps.
     Our mission field has also already expanded beyond the borders of Nepal to places such as Dubai and Africa. However, as President of NNCC, I would like to make one point clear: a school is an educational institution, while overseas mission is fundamentally a ministry to be carried out by the Church. At the same time, Nepali young people are living in virtually every part of the world, and there is a great need to reach them with the Gospel and equip them for ministry. To help fulfill this calling, I ask you to remember that NCOC is operating within our school. Through online education, NCOC seeks to raise Nepali people living in different parts of the world as workers for the Gospel and to equip them to fulfill their calling in local churches and in the mission field around the world. Finally, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all the members of LNM who have faithfully supported this ministry through your prayers and generous partnership.
      Going forward, NNCC will continue to establish a system of self-reliance, self-governance, and self-propagation, and to grow into an institution that can fulfill the mission God has entrusted to us through our own commitment and resources. To accomplish this, the continued cooperation of our alumni and the steadfast efforts and dedication of our current students are essential. The prayers and participation of each and every one of you will be a precious source of strength in shaping the future of NNCC.

      “The Evangelization of Nepal and World Missions!” Holding this vision firmly in our hearts, we pray that NNCC will stand even more firmly as an institution that raises Gospel leaders who will serve the world beyond Nepal. We ask for your continued prayers and partnership. Thank you.
