Population: 700,000

It's very hard to get into Bhutan. 

The government controls tourism. 

70% of the people don't have electricity. 

They love their king like a father. 

The religion is Buddhism. They try to do a lot of good works so they can be reincarnated to a better place.

If you are caught being a Christian they take away your rights. You will no longer be able to own a business  work, put your children in schools, and they take your passport and citizenship away. If you aggressively evangelize they will throw you in prison if you are a citizen or it you are a foreigner they will kick you out.

YWAM Bhutan (located in India) is trying to rescue the monks out of the monasteries because they are being sexually abused, brainwashed, and they are stuck there for life. It is very expensive to buy them out though, about $3,000.



We spent about a month praying for Bhutan on Tuesdays and Thursdays in our intersession groups. It was a very interesting time. Through praying and listening to the Holy Spirit on what to pray for we really gained a lot of ground and now our hearts for Bhutan are growing. Before we came here most of us have never heard of Bhutan, now we know so much about it and the people there. We have caught a glimpse of God's heart for the nation and it's an amazing feeling! God is going to bring salvation to the land and He may even use some of us to fulfill that. (One of our outreach teams may have the opportunity to go into Bhutan!)


Here is a documentary on Bhutan to give you more of an idea of what it is like.
