Today Nepal has one of the fastest growing Christian communities in the world, driven in part by the arrival of South Korean missionaries. The BBC’s Asia Hub has gained rare access inside one of their missions, in the Himalayas, to explore what is driving the change.

Directed and edited by: Kevin Kim
