Veer and Nitu

CEIFA is partnering with frontliners Veer and Nitu who are proclaiming the Gospel in both word and deed in India. Read their personal testimony below.

“Hi, my name is Veer and my wife’s name is Nitu. We have 2 boys, Ray and Bey. I am originally from Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India but grew up in Punjab. I have 3 brothers and 2 sisters.

I came from a family with a strong Hindu background. At a young age, I joined the RSS (the religious fanatical wing of the Hindu BJP political party) and became a very active member. I was indoctrinated about Hindu supremacy and brainwashed to hate other religions, especially Christians. 

Before I knew Jesus, I had lots of problems and lived a very sinful life. I used to worship idols and there was no peace in my life. I was longing and looking for God’s love from different people but could not find the love that I was looking for. When I was 15 years old, I left school and started working very hard to provide for my family because my father did not take care of our family. Whatever money he would earn he ended up squandering away by gambling and drinking. We also went into debt because our family had to pay the dowry for my sister’s marriage at the age of 15. Our family was in a grave financial situation and the future was uncertain. I had lots of pressure to provide for the family being the eldest son in the family. I did not know what to do. In desperation, our whole family even contemplated suicide as we had no hope or future.

During that time, my cousin, who was a believer, told me about Jesus and the Good News. When I heard it for the first time I was filled with peace in my heart. My cousin’s family even helped us pay off our debt. After some time, I started going to church but my life was the same as before. I still had lots of anger and resentment in my heart against my father for failing us. 

My younger sister was the first in my family to believe in Jesus at the age of 16. In 2011, when I went to drop my sister off at a YWAM base, I met the base leader for a brief moment. I only had 15 minutes before my train was about to leave and the leader told me about a discipleship training school. The school was starting the next day and at that moment I decided to stay back and join the discipleship training school. During the DTS, I learned a lot about God but never got to experience Him personally. After the school, I went back home to my own past life and into all the worldly things again.  At that time, I was possessed by an evil spirit and was tormented for many years. In 2013, I got another chance to do a secondary school with YWAM called the school of frontier mission (SOFM) which was in my hometown of Varanasi. During the school one speaker came to teach and as he prayed for me, I was delivered from the evil spirit and my life completely changed. I experienced God in a special way like never before. I got married to Nitu in 2015, whom I met during my DTS.  Currently we both are working full time with YWAM Siliguri, West Bengal, India. God has given us a vision to do Church planting among the unreached people groups here in our city and to train and disciple many young people.

We have already started five house fellowships and every week we partner with a medical team in conducting medical clinics in different unreached areas in our city.”

    Amit and Diana Gully

    Amit is from Nagaland, India and Diana is from the US. God orchestrated quite the story to bring these two together while they were young and serving as missionaries in North-west China. They lived there for more than 10 years, teaching English, running a restaurant, and more, all with the focus of reaching out to the Amdo Tibetans in that region.

    After their son, Jack was born in 2017, in 2018 they came back to the US for a sabbatical year and further missions training. During their visit to the US, Covid hit and they ended up staying for a bit longer than they expected.

    Their daughter Lily was born in the US in 2021. In 2022, they moved their family to a strategic area in North-East India where they continue to reach out to Tibetan Buddhist people groups.

    CEIFA is partnering with the Gully family through Discipleship training and medical outreaches in their area. If you would like to connect with them or know more about what they are doing, email them at bgully@highrange.org or contact Ceifa.

      Dinesh KC

      Dinesh KC has been the director for CEIFA Missions in Nepal over the past 12 years.  In four visits to the states many of you have met him personally and have become prayer partners, supporters and friends.  Generally Dinesh has funneled any support we have sent him, into mission  projects reaching out to the least, the last and the lost with the genuine compassion of Christ. 

      These projects have included launching and supporting Promise Children’s Home, YWAM discipleship schools sponsored every year (training hundreds of disciples to make disciples), medical outreach camps to very rural villages, raising support for Church Planters across Nepal, leadership in printing many evangelistic and discipleship materials, organizing Nationwide youth conferences, school uniforms and supplies in slum areas … and the list goes on and on.

      Dinesh is married to Saraswati and they have one son, Amu born in 2011. Though CEIFA has supported the ministry of this great national missionary family from time to time with special gifts, we would love to add your support to a monthly stipend to invest in Dinesh’s ministry.

      Please use the Pay Pal form to initiate your monthly giving designating it for support of CEIFA Director in Nepal and send us an email if you can to confirm your monthly pledge of support.
