Jesuslovesyou,
Firstly, I applaud of your effort to bring about a change for the betterment of the situation of normal every-day Nepalis. However, I would like to forewarn you about a couple of things.
1. Your approach might be considered in a hostile light owing to the pride of our people on our religion and way of thinking. I don't think straight up converting is the answer. You might not be able to achieve that in a lifetime; what you might achieve is standing out as an example of compassion and love, the things you believe in and love as taught by Christianity.
Imagine if someone walked up to you, when you were going through tough times and a fellow human comes up to you and tells you your problems will be solved if you convert to Islam. That's the bottom line question: would you convert to Islam? This is not a hypothetical question. Would you really be willing to let go of your ideals and convert to Islam if I PROVED to you it is better than Christianity? Now turn the question around and that is basically what you are asking of the Nepali folk.
2. Some will do it for the money anyways. What some see you is as a wad of dollar bills. One only has to put up with what you're trying to say JUST TO get into your wallet as the extra income helps them out.
3. It can get annoying. Plain and simple. Sometimes you are getting late for your appointment and get stopped by Jesuits, who offcourse have no harm in mind, but, still you need to be somewhere else and could honestly be utilizing your time a bit more productively by commuting to your destination instead of talking about converting. :)
Cheers. Let me know what you think.
