Youth With A Mission (YWAM) has issued a prayer call for Bangladesh, a nation of 177 million people with the fourth-largest Muslim population globally. Despite Christians making up only 0.5 percent of the population, a movement of young disciples of Jesus is emerging, equipped with faith to overcome challenges. The prayer initiative, titled 'The Invitation,' was released on July 9, 2026.
Bangladesh presents a challenging context for evangelical witness, where free churches and mission organizations often work discreetly. The growth of a youth-led disciple movement signals hope for the tiny Christian minority. This aligns with the free evangelical emphasis on personal faith and grassroots mission.
YWAM's prayer request highlights young believers who are 'equipped with the love of God and faith to move mountains.' The organization encourages intercession for the nation's spiritual breakthrough. Such movements are vital for sustaining Christian witness in a predominantly Muslim society.
