Southern Baptists will unite their prayers for the Drukpa, and unreached people group in the remote South Asian country of Bhutan, from 6 p.m. Friday, June 1, through 6 p.m. Saturday, June2.
For centuries, the Drukpa have carried on their customs and religious practices with little variation. Because of their isolation in the treacherous terrain of the Himalaya Mountains – and their resistance to change – the Drukpa are virtually untouched by the gospel.
Bhutan, the only country officially recognized as a Tibetan Buddhist kingdom, incorporates Buddhism into every aspect of life.
Bhutanese leaders consider Christianity a threat to their culture, and the few Christians in the country may be denied education and lose jobs and citizenship.
To participate in the Day of Prayer and Fasting for World Evangelization focus on the Drukpa of Bhutan, order a free video resource kit. Call 10800-866-3621 or visit www.imb.org/resources. (BP)
