Sometimes Miracles Come in Waves

South Asia is a diverse patchwork of dramatic church growth and authoritarian intimidation. Beginning in 1978 with Hindi, Words of Hope’s ministry has now grown to 8 languages in 4 countries. These include 5 languages in North India, plus the majority languages of Bhutan, Nepal and Tibet. It is the only region where Words of Hope broadcasts to audiences which are predominantly Hindu (Hindi, Bhojpuri, Dogri, Garhwali, Nepali), Buddhist (Tibetan, Dzongkha) and Muslim (Kashmiri).

Nepal presents an exciting opportunity, as democracy takes hold after decades of corrupt and oppressive rule. In early 2009, Words of Hope launched a new broadcast here to minister to this Himalayan pocket of explosive Christian renewal.

In the last several years India has seen an increase in religious and political repression of Christians. As threats on the ground mount, it is more important than ever to take the Good News to the air. Our Hindi broadcasts have the potential to reach, and be understood by, over 500 million people in India. The ministry receives regular responses and listeners are followed up with Scripture and a Bible correspondence course.

Please support and pray for our continued efforts in South Asia. To learn more about all of our ministries in this area, visit the ministry and country links found at right.
