Let's broaden our global perspective and pray for Dhaka, Bangladesh!

Bangladesh is a country in South Asia located in the delta of the Padma and Jamuna rivers. Bangladesh, which means the "Land of the Bengals", is the most densely populated country globally. Before its separation from India, the area was housed in the state of West Bengal.

However, due to ongoing conflict between Hindus and Muslims, Bangladesh was awarded independence in 1971. Hence, the vast majority of the population is Bengali Muslim, the largest frontier people group in the world.

In addition to great Gospel poverty in the nation, Bangladesh also houses many Muslim Rohingyas fleeing state-sponsored genocide in neighboring Myanmar. This influx, coupled with 4.8 million orphans roaming the country's railways, has created an immense strain on the central government. Dhaka, the capital city, is one of the world's largest metropolises and home to many of these abandoned children. Key people groups in Dhaka include but are not limited to the Bengali Muslims, the Bengali Hindus, the Bihari Muslims, the Rajbansi Hindus, and the Sylhet Muslims.

Prayer Points:

• Pray for the spread of the Kingdom and for multiplying house churches among the Bengali Muslim, Bengali Hindu, Bihari Muslim, Rajbansi Hindu, and Sylhet Muslim people.
• Pray for the launch of strategic centers for church planting that will rescue street kids, empower women, care for the poor, and create inroads for disciple-making.
• Pray for every person to hear the Gospel in their heart language — 39 total languages in this city.
• Pray for a mighty movement of prayer to be birthed in Dhaka that multiplies throughout the country.
• Pray for the fulfillment of God's divine plans for this city.
• ​Pray for disciple makers to go to every unreached people and place in Dhaka, Bangladesh and the surrounding regions.
