BANGLADESH
Bangladesh is located to the east of India on the Bay of Bengal. It is home to the largest delta in the world. The waterways run like fingers through the entire country.
It is the 8th most populated country in the world with 174 million people. California has only 38 million people. Imagine 174 million people living in a country smaller than California. That’s Bangladesh.
Bangladesh is one of the least reached countries in the world with 94% Muslim, 5% Hindu and only 0.2% evangelical Christian. Of the 298 people groups, 278 are considered unreached. 174 million people have yet to hear about Jesus in Bangladesh.
The average person in Bangladesh will live their entire life without hearing about Jesus even once. There are thousands of villages in Bangladesh that have never yet heard the gospel, there is no church, no Bible, no Christians…yet.
Support a Bangladeshi Church Planting Pastor
God is at work in Bangladesh. People are responding to the gospel by the hundreds as faithful, dedicated evangelists and pastors reach their villages for Christ. As I have met these church planters it is evident that they have gentle spirits but they are as bold as lions. It’s not easy being a Christian and especially a church planter in Bangladesh. There is much persecution. One church planter told me about how his name was printed publicly on a list and threatened to be killed unless he moved out of the country. He told me, “This is where God has called me and if I die, I die.” This is the dedication and commitment of these dear church planters and evangelists. For $50.00 per month you can support a Bangladeshi church planter.
