"Go to the Nepali-speaking people," God said. Thino responded and went to West Sikkim at the foothills of the magnificent Himalaya Mountains, where the hardy people inhabit the majestic mountains that have lain unreached for years from the Good News of Jesus Christ. Through this intrepid missionary, the Good News was permeated to the Sikkimese people who live in this rugged and impenetrable terrain. You'll learn Thino's amazing life and ministry among the Hindus and the Buddhists, and his selfless devotion to the King of kings in sharing the Gospel. His story will take you through crises, rugged wilderness, trials, miracles, warfare, and victory. See the Sikkimese people through Thino's eyes when he was called to share the greatest story that has ever been told. Through it all, you will see the mighty hand of the Lord and will praise for His marvelous works. V. Leno Peseyie-Maase was born in Jotsoma, Nagaland, N. E. India.
