They are all around us, living in God's grace, serving his will and building a better church for all of us. By John Biswas Missionary with Bengali Evangelical Association International. What God is doing in Bangladesh is incredible. It has been very encouraging and uplifting. The Islamic brotherhood has a strong hold on the common people, preventing many from accepting the Christian faith.
New converts fear persecution from the community or being outcast by their families.
Amidst all obstacles, our courageous and dedicated native workers have distributed 8,374 gospel tracts and 157 Bibles. They continually give Bible studies to friends and neighbours to prepare them for baptism. About 26 people are ready and will be baptized soon. Our goals for 1999 are to distribute 500,000 gospel tracts and 10,000 Holy Bibles, baptize 500 people, train 200 gospel workers, and establish 50 chapels as the first priority. So please keep us in your daily prayers so that together we may reach these goals and glorify Jesus Christ in Islamic Bangladesh.
