Those bound by false gods are craving the love of the one true God.
42% of the world’s population are unreached with the Gospel of Christ (less than 3% Christian and no effective outreach strategy present).
50% of the unreached people groups live in countries around the Bay of Bengal.
40% of all the unreached people in the world live in India.
Hinduism and Buddhism are the major cultural influences in these regions.
Protestant Christian missions has historically given less attention to the Hindu/Buddhist realms than to other “more receptive” areas of the world. Currently, the regions around the Bay of Bengal are the most distant culturally from the Christian West. Very little success has been witnessed in modern mission efforts of the past century. Most countries around this region remain less than 3% Christian.
However, God has been moving among these peoples recently. Many are expressing a growing dissatisfaction with the traditional forms of religion. Hinduism and Buddhism are no longer meeting many people’s felt needs. Because of this, some national and religious leaders have turned to radicalism in order to keep the allegiance of the masses. Yet rather than drawing people back in, it is having the opposite effect. Having been disenchanted with the intolerant rhetoric and violence toward other religions encouraged by radical leaders, people that have been Hindu or Buddhist for centuries are now turning to Christ.
God is preparing the soil for the Kingdom to come to this area. Disciple making movements have begun in India and Thailand. National and foreign workers need to be mobilized to share the Good News in this disenchanted environment in order to give hope. MRN is poised to collaborate in mobilizing partners from the United States in this area to share Jesus with these unreached people. Will you join us?
You know God has a vital role for you in this work - a role that is uniquely yours. How will you join Him?

BECOME A FINANCIAL PARTNER
It’s exciting to learn about all that God is doing to pursue Hindu and Buddhist people in south Asia, and you want to be part of it. You also want to know that your donations will be part of something much bigger than yourself.
We have identified and stepped into this opportunity around the Bay of Bengal and have a clear vision for making disciples among Buddhists and Hindus, who then make more disciples. We have partners on the field who are already seeing this happen.
We can help you partner with something that is having lasting impact.
BECOME A CHURCH PARTNER
You and your church feel called to be part of the dramatic story that God is writing in South Asia. But you’re not sure how, and have a lot of questions. How can you get involved? What can your church do to be part of the exciting work that God is doing among Buddhists and Hindus?
We help you join the exciting way God is calling people around the Bay of Bengal to His Son.
The world is huge, and discerning how and where God may be calling you is a challenge. Here is one way to look at the global opportunities and see how your gifts and calling may best serve Kingdom work.
Join the Prayer Team
The history of a mission is first written by people on their knees.
Any disciple-making movement happens because it is first preceded by a prayer movement. Anywhere we’ve seen massive movements of God…it is due to the power of prayer.
Would you join a mighty outpouring of prayer for the unreached and under-served peoples of the world?
Our 5-year goal is to build a team of 10,000 prayer partners who will regularly lift up the peoples around the world to the Lord with us. We’ll contact our prayer partners monthly to provide insights and initiatives for how to pray.
