Christianity in every nation
Christianity in Sri Lanka
Christianity in Sri Lanka 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 minority in Sri Lanka, one community within a wider religious landscape, and they are loved by God no less for it. Wherever you are in Sri Lanka, the same Jesus draws near to everyone who seeks him, and you can begin to know him today.
The church in Sri Lanka
The church in Sri Lanka is a minority, but a real and living community. Believers here belong to many traditions, Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, and independent and Pentecostal churches among them. Across South Asia, as across the whole earth, the church is not one culture or one language but one family with one Lord. In Sri Lanka, 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 Sri Lanka, 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.

Come and see
