Economy: One of the world's poorest nations, suffering from gross over-population and periodic natural disasters such as devastating floods and cyclones with enormous loss of life.
Income/person:$360.00 per year.

About the Mission Field:There are wonderful fruits of changed live, baptisms and new congregations in one of the poorest areas in the world.  The rural villages of Bangladesh have about 110 million people and are seeing very little outreach by Christian groups.  It is a most difficult area in which to operate, with a majority Muslim population, and a Hindu minority.  In spite of this, the BEA reaches out in such a practical, service oriented way that they have earned the respect and affection of those among whom they serve.
