The People’s Republic of Bangladesh formerly known as East Pakistan, occupies the delta and floodplains of the Ganges and Brahmaputra Rivers. One of the world’s poorest nations, Bangladesh is also one of the most crowded. 135,000,000 people occupy 144,000 square kilometers—an area roughly the size of Wisconsin—representing more than 50 people groups. (Johnstone, 1993)
Bangladesh is officially a Muslim state. Few nations in the world have such a large number of people who remain largely untouched by the Gospel.
The World Mission Prayer League’s presence in the Indian subcontinent dates to 1891, when our predecessor organization — the American Board of the Norwegian Santal Mission — was formed in Minneapolis. In 1904, we sent our first missionaries to join the work of our European partners among the Santal people. In 1972, the American Board merged with the World Mission Prayer League.
The World Mission Prayer League is today involved in a variety of projects in Bangladesh — principal among them, the LAMB Medical Project, in Parbatipur. We are involved as well in a pioneering creative media ministry in service to a wide cross-section of people in need.
