Pray for Bhutan!

There are thought to be around 15,000 Christians in Bhutan with most of them professing evangelical faith. This is around 2% of the overall population of Bhutan.

The takin is Bhutan's national animal. The Dzong in the Paro valley, built in 1646

Bhutan is rated as one of the highest scoring countries in the world for happiness! True and lasting happiness however comes only to those whose delight is in the LORD. A 2007 report stated that there were no Christian missionaries in Bhutan.

The history of Bhutan Buddhism was introduced into Bhutan in 7 th century AD. King Sindhu Rāja, an exiled Indian King, propagated Buddhism earnestly in 746. In the early 17 th century the Tibetan lama and military leader Ngawang Namgyal built a network of impregnable ‘dzongs’ or fortresses. Many such dzong still exist and are active centres of religion and district administration. Bhutan is a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary form of government. The reigning monarch is Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck. "Wedding of Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck and Jetsun Pema" by Source.

So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world (Rev 12:9.) Pray that this will be more evident in Bhutan.

Pray for Bhutan Bhutan is one of the least evangelized nations in the world. Its isolation and Buddhist majority and monarchy have contributed to this. Pray for evangelists for Bhutan. Pray for radio, Internet and printed materials used for mission in a situation where direct preaching is very difficult. Pray for the tiny minority of Christians in this country where there are often reports of hostility towards Christians. Pray for translation work in Bhutan. The New Testament has been translated into the national language Dzongha but most of the indigenous language groups have no scripture at all.
