Sri Lanka Sri Lanka is a beautiful island in South Asia located 833 miles south of India. It is the size of West Virginia and it is surrounded by the Indian Ocean.

22 million people live in Sri Lanka and the capital is Colombo. 70% of Sri Lanka is Buddhist, which is the national religion and, as such, is protected and promoted. 2% are Evangelical Christians but the majority of those Christians live in the larger cities where there are Christian churches and where it is safe to be a Christian.

Sri Lanka is nicknamed the Pearl of the Indian Ocean and the Teardrop of India.

There are 14,000 villages in Sri Lanka where there is no church and where there are few to no Christians. The majority of these villages are 100% Buddhist where there exists a deep spiritual darkness that has existed for generations.

There is a strong resistance and persecution of Christians and especially of church planters supported by 360Serve who are seeking to share God's love, the gospel and plant house churches in these locations.
