The church’s presence in Bangladesh is through an energetic and active ministry operating as the Bengali Evangelical Association. It provides humanitarian, vocational, educational and Christian outreach initiatives from a base in a village in southern Bangladesh near the city of Barisal. The facility includes a major building funded by our Canadian churches containing an assembly hall, seminar rooms and accommodation for students during courses; and a new three-story concrete building providing a meeting hall, class rooms and other facilities which also serves as a disaster refuge in the event of cyclones, storms, tsunamis and floods. Vocational, self-employment, medical aid and agriculture projects strive to lift the people from poverty while sharing the good news of God’s message for them.
