1. Bhutanese Refugees
View of Christianity

2. General View
 People are born into religions. They were
born Hindu, we were born Christian.
 All Americans are Christians, our culture is
Christian.
 Jesus was an American and lived recently
 Christianity is a small, new religion
 Christians eat cows (very offensive to
Hindus)

3. Reaching Bhutanese with the
message of salvation
 Demonstration of love
 Value of Human life
 Serve
 Pray for them and expect God to move
(healing, provision etc.)
 Logic won't work. Need a demonstration of
power. (heart to head, not head to heart)

4. Barriers to the Gospel
 Social/Family rejection
 Persecution
 Feeling disloyal to their heritage
 Fear of reprisal from the Hindu gods
 Content to like and admire Christianity, but
feel it is wrong/too difficult to convert.

5. Worldview Issues
 The inner world is private- probing
questions feel invasive
 Dualism
 View of work
 Value of human life
 Situational Ethics (no absolute right and
wrong)
 Group value vs. Individual value
