Our Vision
Sri Lanka is a beautiful island full of variety, full of colors, full of life. But 30 decades of tensions and civil war have brought destruction, pain and poverty.
God is calling us to train and encourage the young generation of Sri Lanka to know God and make him known, so they would be healed and bring healing to their nation and to the nations of the world. We want to equip them to bring God’s Kingdom to their society.
Our vision is to see individuals and communities transformed by God’s principles and values. With compassion, unity, joy, and love we will train and disciple, engage in projects of mercy, and share the Gospel with the lost in our local community and the nations.

more about Sri Lanka:
The tropical island of Sri Lanka lies in the Indian Ocean, separated from India by 25 miles. Low-lying flatlands fill most of the island, with mountains in the south central region. There are two monsoon seasons—June to October and December to March.
Sri Lanka’s population density of 799 people per square mile is one of the highest in Asia. Most people live in rural areas and depend on agriculture to make a living.
The Sinhalese people make up 74 percent of the population, while the Tamils form the largest minority group at 18 percent. Other groups include the Vedda, the Moors, the Burghers, and the Malays.
Sinhala and Tamil are the two official languages of Sri Lanka. About 10 percent of Sri Lankans speak English, mostly for educational and commercial purposes.
