South Asia
South Asia is a subregion in Asia. There are eight countries in South Asia, three of which are home to Global and National Partners that we are supporting. Due to the secure nature of the work these Global and National Partners are doing in South Asia, we cannot disclose their exact locations. This region has one of the longest and richest histories in the world. Throughout South Asia, there are a variety of ethnicities, languages, and politics, but the people are united by a common cultural and ethical outlook on life. There is a great love and appreciation for music and dance in this region. There are also shared ritual customs, modes of worship, and ideals throughout South Asia.
Fast Facts
- Over 2 Billion people live in South Asia
- In the three countries that we support, there are a total of 3,045 Unreached People Groups* (over 1.6 billion people)
- In the three countries we are supporting, the majority of people follow Hinduism, Islam, or Buddhism as their religion
The need for believers faithfully praying for and sharing in these countries is evident. Our faith family gets to support one National Partner and three families that are Global Partners in these countries. We are able to support them through prayer, care, going, and giving.
