Description

  • Bahamas consists of more than 700 islands, cays and islets in the Atlantic Ocean. The archipelago is an ecological oasis, boasting the clearest water on the planet. Known to tourists as a destination for tropical luxury,  but while this is definitely so in many areas there is a second face to paradise. The Bahamas is also a country where there is a lot of poverty outside of the tourist attractions and luxury hotels.  Just a few miles out of this beautiful places, there are people living in extreme poverty, without running water or sewage system.

This sovereign nation is categorized as a reached nation, one that has been evangelized. While this is so, many of its residents  know about Jesus, but categorize Him with Buddha, Mohammed and other popular historical religious figures. In order to distinguish the difference, continual evangelism is necessary. This gives us the opportunity to correct misinformation about Christendom while evangelizing those of the Bahamas who do not know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
