People group: B people
Population: 165 million
Main religion: Islam
In South Asia, our team serves through our partner organisation whose vision is to empower the poorest of the poor through education and training. Our team also disciples local believers as they explore the message of Jesus.
“The B people are a resilient people group who know what it is like to fight for survival. Living in one of the most densely populated regions on the planet, and prone to regular cyclones and flooding, poverty is a constant threat.
For B people, their Muslim faith is central to their identity and family expectations shape their way of life.
Our work amongst the B people is through our local community development organisation. We serve and walk alongside a local staff team through agriculture, health and education projects aimed at capacity building and poverty alleviation.
We are also currently working on scripture and discipleship resources for the growing network of believers.”
