Reaching Bhutan with Unlimited Happiness

Reaching Bhutan with Unlimited Happiness

August 28, 2024

Traditional festival dance in BhutanThe nation of Bhutan has been called ‘the happiest country in the world.’ More than 93% of its people say they are happy. The nation’s seemingly carefree lifestyle and landscapes have attracted tourists from every continent.

However, as part of their “National Happiness” goals, Bhutan’s citizens are expected to help preserve their cultural and religious traditions. All Christian gatherings are illegal, and anyone who converts from Buddhism to Christianity will be watched with suspicion and face pressure to ‘reconvert’.

Despite severe restrictions, there is a growing network of underground churches all across Bhutan. Local pastors are traveling throughout the country sharing the Good News and encouraging believers.

A few months ago, a Reach Beyond worker met one of those pastors who said, “Radio could really help us accelerate the spreading of the Gospel. Can you please train us on how to create radio programs?”

Cliffside temple/monastary in BhutanThe pastor shared how Bhutan’s internet is unreliable outside of the big cities, “So radio offers a steadier way to deliver the Good News of Jesus to people living in rural areas.”

After prayerful discussions with our team, the pastor began to assemble a small group of local believers that Reach Beyond would train in radio production. This whole process was challenging because of the precautions needed to ensure the security of everyone involved.

Since the training, this dedicated team of Bhutanese believers has been working hard on writing and recording audio for their new radio program, which they are calling, ‘Unlimited Happiness!’

These programs, recorded in the Dzongkha language, are then broadcast to Bhutan from our international shortwave site in Australia.

By working together with local ministry partners, Reach Beyond is now able to share the Gospel with the people of Bhutan and help them discover the joy that can only be found in Jesus.
