A REMARKABLE YEAR FOR NAVIGATORS 26 COUNTRIES, ONE GOSPEL MESSAGE
Rural villages. Blind communities. Underground churches. Persecuted believers confined to their homes. All reached through your partnership.

corching temperatures, copious rainfall, rising hostility toward the Gospel—none of this could stop our work together. Despite significant obstacles and great risks, with the help of trusted partners, Leading The Way successfully transported 10,000 Navigators to unreached people groups in Bangladesh— where 99% of the population is either Muslim, Hindu, or Buddhist. After receiving the Navigators — Leading The Way ’s solar-powered audio devices—thousands heard the Gospel for the first time in their native tongue of Bengali. As a result, 5 new churches were planted with more than 400 people surrendering their lives to Christ! And that was just the beginning. Your impact in Bangladesh continued when, after traveling to areas where Navigators had been distributed—places without access to electricity, internet, and traditional broadcast media—one of our partners heard something amazing: the messages on the Navigators playing faintly in the village. So many were coming to Christ that a large group of Islamic leaders rallied together to confront our trusted partners, seeking to confiscate the Navigators . Though the boxes were stored in plain sight, the leaders could not see them and gave up their search. The rest of the Navigators were then sent to another hiding place and are ready to be transported to more Bangladeshi people this year.
Government clashes, deadly unrest, and the imprisonment of Christians have resulted in widespread tension among the
Bangladeshi people this year. The country, home to nearly 300 unreached people groups , is now hearing the Word of God in their native Bengali language. Thanks to your partnership, illiteracy, technological limitations, and isolation are no longer barriers to sharing the Gospel in far-off lands.
“I believe that God is starting a revival in Bangladesh, and it may even be the beginning of a movement in that nation.” – CHURCH PLANTER
