Bangladesh

 Bangladesh is a very populated country.  My missionary friend, who works in Bangladesh, said it is like the whole population of the US crammed into Georgia.  Bangladesh has about 156.6 million people on its 56,977 square miles of land.  A third of the population is below the poverty line.
  Now that I have put a picture in your mind of all the people, here comes what I wanted to talk about.  90.4% of Bangladesh's population is Islamic.  Only about 1% of Bangladesh's population is Christian.  That's about 570 Christians.
   This summer, I am praying that our mission team will leave a big dent in those numbers.  We also must pray for the people who are already Christians and are being persecuted.  Not only should we pray for the Christians, we should pray for everyone, including the persecutors.
