This is Lori. I have been serving Jesus for 2 and 1/2 years in Bangladesh with my Husband, a Christian converted from Muslim faith. We began in a remote, small rural village of Rajshaihi, Ministering as Harvest Ministries Bangladesh! We were helping in a small village church here for a while, serving their needs. And now with the Afghanistan issues, a couple of police have said we should make a move soon to the capital city of Dhaka!&nbsp;</i></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align:left;"><br></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align:left;"><i>More Christians are located in Dhaka, and one church has many missionaries serving there with them! Also, My embassy is in Dhaka too, in case of any kind of trouble. We thank the Lord for keeping us safe so far, and believe the Lord is leading us to make this shift!&nbsp;</i></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align:left;"><i><br></i></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align:left;"><i>So what we are asking you, Dear Brothers and Sisters is to become united with us and our Ministry as we reach out to more people in Bangladesh.

We believe we have a vision that's from the Lord!&nbsp;</i></div>
