Bangladesh: A Land of Opportunity for Christian Mission - Peter Mazumda || 20Twenty

Join us as we "check the pulse" of Christian mission activity in the diverse and dynamic nation of Bangladesh. With a population exceeding 160 million people, Bangladesh presents a unique landscape for Christian growth amidst the predominant Islamic culture and Bengali language. In this captivating talk show, we are joined by Peter Mazumder, the General Secretary of the Bible Students Fellowship of Bangladesh, who passionately shares his perspective on Bangladesh as a land of opportunity.

Amidst frequent natural disasters and widespread poverty, we delve into the challenges faced by Christians in Bangladesh. We address reports of the country being listed as dangerous for Christians, ranking at number 30 on the Open Doors World Watch List. Peter sheds light on the dictatorial paranoia instilled by persecution and explores the realities of being a Christian minority in a nation of 167 million people, where Christians make up less than 1 million.

Discover the inspiring presence of the Gospel, churches, and mission work in Bangladesh as Peter discusses the significant impact of Bible translation projects. With his team diligently working on translations since 2014, they are nearing completion of four New Testament books. We also learn about the upcoming 50th anniversary celebration of the Bible Students Fellowship of Bangladesh, where four ethnic language New Testaments will be inaugurated, signifying a remarkable milestone for their ministry.

Explore the efforts to develop recording studios for preserving ethnic New Testament portions and gain insights into the challenges faced by Bangladesh in receiving attention from the world's mission agencies. We also delve into the importance of training educated leaders of the future through university collaborations and mentoring programs.

Join us as we shed light on the reputation of Christians in Bangladesh and delve into the triumphs and aspirations of those striving to grow the Christian church in this captivating nation.
