BTMB missionaries have found that one of the most effective ways of reaching the tribal people of the Bandarban Hill District is by educating their children. For example, a school was established in a village without one and provides a free education to the children of 30 non-Christian families.

Teacher-missionaries work with children during the day and conduct gospel meetings for adults in the evenings.

Through Christian Aid’s help, 10 of these teacher-missionaries are receiving support.

Today in Bangladesh, less than one percent of the population is Christian. But the number of committed native missionaries spreading the gospel throughout the country is increasing.

For the past 40 years, churches have grown at twice the rate of the population. Christian Aid has gotten behind the indigenous ministries that are making this growth happen, because of their effectiveness and vision to see their country changed by the power of Christ.

Christian Aid donors have helped mission leader Bawm to send eight gospel workers into Mru villages.

BTMB works with Mru, Tripura, Bawm, Khyang, Tangchangya, Pankhu and Chakma tribes.
