With more than 160 million inhabitants living in an area encompassing 57,000 square miles, Bangladesh is one of the world's most densely populated countries.  Bangladesh is also one of the world´s poorest countries, with nearly half of the population subsisting on less than one dollar per day. The recurrence of devastating floods and cyclones often result in tremendous loss of life and property.  Bangladesh is a country where forms of extremism have increasingly been on the rise, generating hostilities toward Christian groups.  Bangladesh is a country that desperately needs to hear about and experience the love and compassion of Jesus Christ.  This is exactly what "Caring for the Children"* ministry is striving to do in this nation that still has many unreached people groups.  It is under these conditions that Caring for the Children is courageously taking the gospel message of Jesus Christ to those who have never heard it before.  They are also reaching out to provide food, clothing, shelter, education and other forms of assistance to thousands of orphaned children and families who have been abused, abandoned and neglected.  Please pray for the safety and success of Caring for the Children as they strive to fulfill the Great Commission by taking the Gospel to the tribal people in the remote villages of Bangladesh.
