About Chittagong

Bangladesh, the Land of the Bengals, rests where the mighty Padma and Jamuna Rivers meet—a nation born from both beauty and struggle. It is one of the most densely populated countries on earth, alive with color, sound, and resilience. Before independence, this region was part of West Bengal, but decades of tension between Hindus and Muslims led to a painful separation in 1971, leaving Bangladesh largely Bengali Muslim—the largest frontier people group in the world.

Here, faith runs deep, but few have heard the name of Jesus. In addition to this vast spiritual need, Bangladesh shelters thousands of Rohingya refugees fleeing persecution in neighboring Myanmar. Along the nation’s railways, more than 4.8 million orphans wander without home or protection, searching for safety and belonging.

In Chittagong, the country’s main port city and industrial hub, the contrast between progress and poverty is stark. Ships dock with goods from around the world, yet many who unload them struggle to survive. Still, even in the noise of factories and the cries of the displaced, I believe God is at work—softly, steadily—raising a generation who will carry His light to the darkest corners of this land.
