Jivan serves as the Project Coordinator of the Community Support Program that Hobart Nepali Church runs. There are more than 10,000 Nepalese people living in Hobart, and many opportunities to share God’s love in tangible ways. Jivan’s heart is to connect with Nepalese people in Hobart to build relationships, offer practical support and share the Gospel.
Jivan writes, “Our Community Support Program supports individuals coming as international students and refugees by providing 12 hrs free driving mentorship through our learner driver lessons, linguistic support and interpretation, help in settling in Tasmania, assistance in finding jobs, support using government and health services, and shopping. Public transport in Hobart is not good, and our 12-seater bus enables us to transport people, helping them attend church, move house, connect with others and more.”
Jivan also serves our wider Baptist movement as the Tasmanian Baptist Intercultural Communities Coordinator. He provides direct pastoral support and organisational care for emerging and established culturally and linguistically diverse Baptist churches across Tasmania. In this role he also works closely with the Australian Baptist Ministries Intercultural Communities Delegated Body to collaborate with intercultural communities and agencies across the Australian Baptist movement.

Gifts to support Jivan’s ministry are NOT TAX DEDUCTIBLE. You can choose to allocate your gift towards our Hobart Nepali or Tasmanian Baptists partnership.
