Bangladesh: coming to Christ despite trouble

Dhaka – capital of Bangladesh

Muslims are increasingly converting to Christianity in the Muslim-dominated country of Bangladesh, despite persecution, a report in July revealed.

Muslims make up nearly 90% of Bangladesh’s population. But human rights organisation Christian Freedom International estimates that as many as 91,000 Muslims have converted to Christianity in the country over the last six years.

There are now estimated to be 1.6 million Christians in the country, which has a total population of 165 million.
