Missions for tribes and nations
423 Ministries supports Pastor Ruben in Nepal. Kevin and I had the honor and privilege to visit in March of 2025. We were amazed at all of the things that Pastor Ruben was doing for his country. With your help he can reach even more for Jesus Christ.
Innovative Orphanage
About the orphanage and school
In 2018, Pastor Ruben founded “Innovative Academy” in the Sarlahi district of eastern Nepal. In its first year, the academy offered free admission to 496 children, including those who were helpless, disabled, orphaned, or from marginalized communities like the DALIT, who are considered untouchable in Hindu society, and some from Muslim backgrounds. The academy’s mission is to provide an English education to these marginalized and DALIT children—an opportunity they could never have imagined.
In addition to the school, Innovative operates an orphanage that currently cares for 35 children. However, the vision for the orphanage is to eventually adopt and care for over 200 orphans, all within the love of Jesus Christ. Each week, the Innovative office receives calls from churches and local government authorities from all over Nepal, seeking adoption for orphans and street kids. The vision can only be achieved through the adoption (sponsors) of friends and partners.
Sponsoring a child costs just USD 50.00 per month, which covers all expenses, including food, educational materials, emergency medical treatment, and extra expenses incurred.
Generous Donations
Because of generous donations we were able to get new tires for the bus, that transports over 200 children from surrounding villages. We were able get the children new uniforms, including shoes, and backpacks with supplies. We were able to purchase mattresses for the kids to sleep on as well as new bedding, including pillows. We were also able to purchase coolers for the orphanage due to the immense heat in the summer time in Nepal.
We are in this together and whether or not you can donate a little or a lot, it all adds up and we are being the hands and feet of Jesus. Will you join us?

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
