Bengali Evangelical Association
We support our dear friends, John & Noami Biswas, in their passion to serve and love their home country, Bangladesh.
Our Kornerstone Kidz give their offerings to BEA to buy goats for poor families in Bangladesh. A goat could save an entire family. So far, our kids have purchased 16 goats!

The Bengali Evangelical Association (BEA) was founded in 1986 as a Christian Missionary organization. Its goal is to serve the poor and destitute and bring them the gospel of Jesus Christ.
BEA brings hope to the hopeless people and comfort to the hurting souls of Bangladesh and the world.

About the Mission Field:There are wonderful fruits of changed live, baptisms and new congregations in one of the poorest areas in the world. The rural villages of Bangladesh have about 110 million people and are seeing very little outreach by Christian groups. It is a most difficult area in which to operate, with a majority Muslim population, and a Hindu minority. In spite of this, the BEA reaches out in such a practical, service oriented way that they have earned the respect and affection of those among whom they serve.
