HimalPartner

HimalPartner, formerly the Norwegian Tibet Mission (Norwegian: Den Norske Tibetmisjonen), is a Norwegian missionary organization active in Christian vocational missions in Tibet and Nepal.

HimalPartner traces its beginnings back to the departure of the pioneer missionaries in 1938,[1] when Edin Cornelius Alfsen and David Westborg traveled to eastern Tibet.[2][3][4] Many missionary supporters in Norway backed them with financial help.

Just over a decade later, China invaded Tibet and the Chinese takeover put a stop to further missionary work. This made all attempts at traditional missionary work in Tibet impossible.[5]
