How the Gospel is Spread in Bangladesh:
Christianity ✝️makes up a tiny percentage of the Bangladesh population (0.6% out of 175 million) with most Bangladesh people (91%) practicing Islam. With such an overwhelming number of Muslims in Bangladesh, how is Christianity even impactful? The Gospel is spread throughout Bangladesh in several ways with possibly the most influential being Christian organizations. While there are hundreds of Christian organizations (churches, schools, and Christian run businesses) all over Bangladesh, two are highlighted here:
-
- Several Cedarville students have graduated with education degrees and went on to teach at this school.
INMED (Memorial Christian Hospital) Values:
-
- Compassion to all humanity
-
- Excellence and integrity
-
- Service and stewardship
-
- Lifelong learning
Another way many come to faith in Bangladesh is through Christians who move to Bangladesh to start businesses with the intent of hiring locals. Christian employers want to build relationships with their employees and customers which creates opportunities to share the gospel and show the love of Christ.

We’re headed far, across the sea,
To lands of pride and history.

And afrobeats fill the dancing air.
Where drummers play and voices sing,
Of warriors bold and tribal kings.
