WORD: Called to Witness
Chris Sung • Acts 1
PRAY: Bangladesh
Churches are careful when offering relief to the poor and needy because they do not want to encourage false conversions among people claiming faith in Christ solely for economic benefit.
While Bangladesh is a majority-Muslim nation, the government avoids undue influence from Islamists and actively fights extremism. Millions of Bangladeshis are learning about Christ and the Bible through media outreaches. 87% of Bangladeshis are Sunni Muslims and 2% are Shia Muslims. Approximately one-half of 1% are Christians. Local Muslim authorities, Islamic extremist groups, families and communities persecute Christians. Hindus persecute believers in northwestern Bangladesh, and Buddhist (Chakma) extremists persecute believers in the southeastern Chittagong Hill Tracts. When Muslims convert to Christianity, they are often forced to leave their community.
Pray that Christians who are rejected by family members because of their faith will show God’s love to them.
