Capital Baptist Deaf College - International Countries Population

Sometimes, some missionaries will state where they want to minister to and we would reply "You want to be missionary to what?" The purpose of this information is to encourage missionaries to the Deaf to consider ministering in the countries with larger population. None of missionaries to Deaf had ever gone to large countries like China, Indonesia, Pakistan, or Bangladesh where there will be more Deaf people than some other whole continents.

Paul has chosen to establish churches in Asia Minor then Holy Ghost led him to Greece and Rome. Lystra, Paphos, Ephesus, Troas, Philippi, Thessalonica, Athens, and Corinth, which all are strategic locations – commercial centers, political centers, and military centers. We beg you from bottom of our hearts to look for greater opportunities and thus greater challenges instead of traditional missionaries sites.

One missionary couple first felt God was leading them to Botswana with the population of only 1.8 million people. Lord be praised, He instead led them to South Africa with over 48 million people. Please remember that greater challenges can result in a richer harvest.
