Sudip Khadka is the founder and president of Compassion for Asia.
He was born and brought up in an Orthodox Hindu family in Nepal. He came from the Chhetri caste system, and his family, especially his Dad, was involved in politics and also was a witch doctor. His Dad had significant influence over him. He was the first male child after six female children in the home. His Dad wanted a male child because, in the Hindu religion, It is vital that a male child of the parents cremates the dead body so that the parents may go to heaven and also become successors in their father’s political career.
His birth in the family was full of hope and had so much expectation from his family. When he lost one of the loved sisters in the family, then he didn’t have peace with the Hindu gods and goddesses. God had a divine plan for him, and in 1986, while he was studying, the man who was running that school shared the Gospel with him, and he received Christ. The man who brought him to the Lord was the first Christian in the country.
As he was growing in the Lord, because of the persecution, his spiritual father had to be in prison. Sudip himself had to go through the rejection of the family. He faced a lot of challenging situations inside the country from family, friends, and relatives. Christianity was illegal in Nepal. Then Sudip got the privileged of leading and giving leadership in the church not long after his conversion. He started leading a church when he was 15 years old.
In 1989 he dedicated his life for the full-time service for the Lord and begun to work in apostolic anointing and calling. Since then, he has been continually working in Nepal. Sudip is actively involved in church planting, teaching, preaching, and sharing the redeeming power of the Lord in Nepal and its neighboring countries. Sudip moved to the capital of Nepal, Kathmandu, where he obtained a Master’s degree in politics from Tribhuvan University. He also holds a Master of Divinity from the theological institution and has graduated from Brownsville Revival School of Ministry (BRSM) with a missions degree.
In Kathmandu, Sudip worked to establish different ministries, but he felt that his walk with the Lord, and his ministry was missing something. So, in 2001, he traveled to Pensacola, Florida, to attended Brownsville Revival School of Ministry (BRSM). The school transformed his life. After completing his degree in missions, he returned to Nepal to continue to work.
Sudip is an ordained minister through The Covering International, Inc.
He represents a ministry called Compassion for Asia. (CFA). Their work involves planting churches and providing oversight and leadership to several churches in Nepal and the neighboring countries. They lead 76+ churches and hold evangelism crusades and leadership seminars. They are raising, equipping, and training indigenous people and are sending them as missionaries to their people through Compassion for Asia Bible College. Sudip also supports native evangelists and pastors and helps them to be self-supporting. He is running orphanages. He also runs an NGO (Non-Government Organization) called Reach the unreached-Nepal and works in different social and educational projects to the people of Nepal.
CFA helps the orphans through their children’s homes…
Mahima Children’s Home started 22 years ago, with five street children from Thamel. However, CFA saw that the need is more significant than that. Mahima Children’s Home receives children from any cultural or religious background. Their priority is to help orphans, meaning children without a father or a mother or other immediate family care for them. They also help children who have a single parent or come from families suffering from extreme poverty. One of the life changing stories is of Hastmaya who became a widow at age 40 when her husband died trying to find work in Qatar. This left her alone with no income, land or property but with two little girls to raise without a father. After hearing about CFA and how they take care of vulnerable children, provide shelter, food and education, she reached out to them. Today, she helps with cooking food for the children, growing vegetables and cares for the children who live there, and she and her girls live in the little staff house.
Another life changing story is of Mingmar Tamang. He lost his mother at a very young age, and his father struggled with alcoholism. His childhood was marked by instability, and even basic needs such as food and education were often not met. In 2012, Mingmar was referred to Mahima Children’s Home through the local authorities. With care, support, and encouragement, he completed higher secondary school and later earned a three-year diploma in engineering. Today, he continues to pursue his dream of becoming an engineer and building a stable future for himself. He plays an active role in the church.
Ashish Children’s Home is the second children’s home. CFA adopted this orphanage in 2010, and they have been working on getting sponsors for these children ever since. The orphanage was to the point where they had to close down soon if they did not find anyone to help them. CFA said that we would do whatever They could to help run this children’s home and take care of them. One by one, they are finding supporters for the children but are still in need of more.
As of July 2026, CFA cares for approximately 20 children in Kathmandu, 8 in Jiri, and 45 in Bhojpur. Each home is led by a local NGO board with dedicated leaders and staff who faithfully care for the children every day.
