South Asia is famous for its overwhelming effects on the senses. From urban sprawl to remote villages, from mountaintop kingdoms to ancient civilizations, from majestic temples to humble shacks––the sights, sounds, and smells illustrate the vibrancy of life.
Perhaps the most captivating part of South Asia is its people. More than one billion people––more than one-fifth of the world’s total population––live in South Asia. They represent a diverse range of backgrounds, religions, socioeconomic statuses, and general walks of life.
More specifically, 682 people groups don’t have any access to the gospel––no Bible, no church, no Christians among them.
But what is truly overwhelming is the realization that these more than one billion people, made up of Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, and tribal peoples, don’t know the one true God. More specifically, 682 people groups don’t have any access to the gospel––no Bible, no church, no Christians among them. South Asia needs Jesus, the only one who can satisfy their search for eternal life.
More than one billion eyes and hearts in South Asia are looking for hope. Join us as we join God in the things he is doing among South Asians to make himself known.
