Christianity in every nation

Christianity in Bhutan

Christianity in Bhutan is one thread in the great tapestry of the global church, the multitude out of every nation, kindred, tongue, and people that John saw before the throne. Christians are a small community in Bhutan, and in some seasons they follow Jesus at real cost, yet they are precious to God and not forgotten. Wherever you are in Bhutan, the same Jesus draws near to everyone who seeks him, and you can begin to know him today.

“For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts.”
Malachi 1:11

The church in Bhutan

The church in Bhutan is small, and often quiet. Across South Asia, as across the whole earth, the church is not one culture or one language but one family with one Lord. In Bhutan, believers gather to hear the Scriptures, to pray, to break bread, and to love their neighbours, joining the worship that rises from every nation.

How to come to know Jesus

Faith is not a nationality or a family inheritance you are locked into or out of. It begins wherever one person turns to Christ and asks. Whoever you are in Bhutan, you can start today: read his own words in the Gospel of John, and talk to God honestly in your own language, telling him you want to know him. He is not far from any one of us.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
John 3:16

Finding other believers here

In Bhutan the church is small, and in some places following Jesus can be costly or watched. We will not put anyone at risk with a public map here. If you are seeking, you can begin quietly: read the Gospels, pray in your own words, and where it is safe, look for other believers you can trust. You are not alone. Christians around the world pray for the church in places like yours, and you are part of one body with them.

The church under pressure is honoured, not pitied. If this is your home, or if you love the believers there, you can stand with them. Pray for persecuted Christians, read how Christians have faced persecution, and hold on to what the Scriptures promise.

Come and see

Wherever you are in Bhutan, the same Jesus who is loved across the whole earth still draws near to anyone who comes to him with an open heart. You do not have to have it all figured out. Read his own words, and if you are seeking, reach out. The Gospel of John is a gentle place to begin.
