People group: B people
Population: 165 million
Main religion: Islam
In South Asia, our team serves through our partner organisation whose vision is to empower the poorest of the poor through education and training. Our team also disciples local believers as they explore the message of Jesus.
“The South Asia team seeks to share the good news of Jesus in word and deed as we walk alongside local B people through our local partner organisations. It gives us great joy to see the faith of our local colleagues deepen as we serve alongside them in agriculture, health and education projects designed to alleviate poverty and empower those on the margins.
Pray for our team as we seek to serve in an unstable political, social and economic environment. The B culture holds strongly to its Muslim religious identity and following Jesus in this context requires great courage, wisdom and resilience. Pray that our team might encourage our believing colleagues and friends to stand firm in the One who gives real hope and a future despite the many challenges they face every day.”
