Mission Moment – Equipping a New Leader in Nepal
In November 2021, the United Mission to Nepal (UMN) will welcome Dhana Lama as its first ever Nepali Executive Director. In addition to being UMN’s first Nepali Executive Director, Dhana will be the 13th Executive Director since its founding in 1954 and the third woman to lead UMN. Outgoing Executive Director, Joel Hafvenstein, said, “Dhana is a strong and forthright leader who is also a listener, with the humility not to fear change or the acknowledgement of mistakes. Her passion for service to Nepal’s poorest people is unquestionable.” As an international, interdenominational Christian mission, UMN receives funding from partners designated for specific projects, which doesn’t leave much for staff salaries. Through Presbyterians Sharing, the PCC will join the Church of Scotland, the Presbyterian Church in Ireland and Asia CMS in financially supporting Dhana Lama during her tenure.
Sunday, November 14 We pray for wisdom and courage as Dhana Lama begins her tenure as the first Nepali Executive Director of the United Mission to Nepal.
