Text from this PhotoShow:

Pastor Singh Tarang and his family serve with GFA World in Bangladesh.
Each morning Pastor Tarang gathers his family together for devotions before the day begins. Sometimes his neighbors will join them.
He then travels to the surrounding area doing outreach. His family and several believers from his church will join him in passing out tracts.
They encourage and pray for those they meet. Developing relationships is one of the most effective methods to reach the lost in this area. Pastor Tarang invites everyone he meets to church on Sunday.
Roads leading to the church end three kilometers away. Visitors and members alike must then walk up a steep hill the rest of the way.
The church building is constructed of bamboo walls, mud floors and a thatched roof.
There is little room inside for the growing congregation, and sometimes the children have to stand at the door.
Not far away, another group of believers meets in one of the church members' homes. The church was planted by Pastor Tarang, and now a fellow GFA missionary serves as pastor.
The congregation has grown so much that a church building will soon be constructed nearby on land donated by a believer.
Despite the small size of these two church buildings, the congregations are growing—both spiritually and in numbers, built on the firm foundation of Christ.
