Who We Are
We are a Christ-centered ministry serving in the northern region of India, particularly in the border areas of Northern Bihar and the southern plains of Nepal near Biratnagar. This region lies along the Indo-Nepal border, where people move freely between nations, sharing language, traditions, and daily life.
The communities we serve are largely rural, with agriculture forming the backbone of their livelihood. Many families live with limited economic resources, and access to education, healthcare, and stable employment can be challenging. The culture is deeply traditional, with strong family bonds and community-centered living.
Religiously, the region is predominantly influenced by Hinduism, with a significant presence of folk religious practices. There are also Muslim communities and smaller groups practicing Buddhism. Christianity represents only a very small minority. In many places, the Gospel remains either unheard or misunderstood — making this a spiritually sensitive, mission-focused region.

Our Beginning
This ministry was born out of a deep spiritual burden and a clear calling from God — not through an institution, but through obedience.
A Calling Takes Root
John Abraham moves to the United States after marriage. While pursuing Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) in Dallas and serving in hospitals, a growing burden for his homeland and its unreached people begins to take hold.
21 Days of Surrender
Completing his chaplaincy training, John sets aside 21 days for fasting and prayer. The Lord’s direction becomes unmistakable: go to Calcutta and begin the work.
A Ticket Bought, a Journey Begun
Without a full plan or established connections, John purchases a one-way ticket to Kolkata and steps out in obedience — trusting God entirely for what lay ahead.
Friends Reunited, One Vision
After 15 years of lost contact since university, God reconnects John with Joshua George and Kuruvila Mathew. Each feels the same call. A shared vision is born.
REAP Asia Ministries Founded
Grounded in prayer, fellowship, and a shared commitment to serve, the ministry is officially established — reaching, equipping, assisting, and planting across the Indo-Nepal border.

Our Journey
What began as a step of faith has now grown into nearly two decades of ministry. Over the years, we have witnessed God's faithfulness in reaching communities, building relationships, and sharing the Gospel in places where it is least known.
We believe that God continues to lead and expand His work, and we remain committed to following His voice wherever He calls.
