Missionaries Mannan and Aleyah Mridha

Mannan founded and leads Holy House Church Bangladesh, a network of over 300 churches, focusing on the disciple making process.

Mannan says, “The disciple making process begins when a believer finds another believer and they pray and work together to build up one another (1 Corinthians 14:26; Hebrews 10:24-25) and help each other fulfill the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8). They will seek to turn friends into converts through friendship evangelism and then also into disciples by inviting them to become house church members.”

He adds, “Disciples are those who are willing to be mentored to form a more Christ-like character, equipped to discover and minister with their spiritual gifts, and trained to do evangelism. By then the disciple should have become a disciple maker, empowered to lead his or her own house church.”

About Bangladesh

Bengalis are the largest unreached people group in the world by population, being only 0.37% Christian. Persecution against Christians is common, but the most severe persecution is toward those who convert from Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, or tribal backgrounds.
