Glimmers of Gospel hope for South Asia’s 1.6 billion
SOUTH ASIA (BP) -- Mosques and temples clamor daily for the souls of 1.6 billion people in Nepal, Bhutan, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, the Maldives and Sri Lanka -- the countries of South Asia that make up the world's greatest concentration of people with no access to the Gospel. Muslims and Hindus comprise the overwhelming religious majority in South Asia. A staggering number of the estimated 225,000 people who die here each week enter eternity without Christ.
