What we found
We searched for a congregation named "Surkhet Church" in Surkhet, Nepal and found no directory entry, Facebook page, website or denominational register listing a church by that exact name. We did confirm that Christian congregations exist in the Surkhet area: a US State Department religious freedom report describes two pastors arrested at their church premises in Surkhet District during pandemic restrictions, and a mission report mentions a pastor whose church is in Surkhet and believers there receiving Bibles. Searching the contact address nrabc.ba@gmail.com returned only unrelated US and Bosnian results, so it cannot be tied to any Nepali church. We found no scam reports, complaints or warnings about this name.

However, the very general church name and the contact
We have asked this church for one piece of extra evidence: a photo, a link, its denomination, or a church that can vouch for it. The moment we can verify, this report is upgraded. Without a response, the listing is paused after 14 days.
