From the brightly coloured saris to the magnificent natural vistas, from the noise of intense traffic to the gracious greetings of ‘Namaste, from the incredible wealth to the extreme poverty – the 7 nations of South Asia are a wide open door of opportunity. The nations are urbanising rapidly and people are always open to the Gospel when challenged by transition or trauma. The South Asia region has a population of almost 1.8 billion people, with 50% under 25. It is an exciting and ever-changing community, with many challenges, like the estimated 40 million (mainly women) in slavery. C3 has 18 churches in the South Asia region with a vision to plant, assist and build healthy vibrant churches in every major city. Business training also operates across the region changing families’ lives and releasing them from generations of poverty.
