The greatness and reality of the kingdom of God and the power of intercessory prayer in the name of Jesus broke out in Bangladesh on October 21-31. In the photo, you can see the harvest of our 2-day major event on between the 24th to 25th of October. We reached out 13,000 mainly Hindus and Muslims as well as local Christians, as Ari Talja and Martti Falck preached the gospel to them. If we add up all the outreaches, altogether 940 people gave their lives to Jesus, as the altars were filled with thirsty Bangladeshis who wanted to receive Jesus Christ as their Savior.
Dear missions partner,
There are no words to my gratitude on how much I appreciate your intercessions and support. All the works of God presented in this letter are due to the fact that together we all carried out the mission trip to Bangladesh. This was possible due to intercession, hearing God’s voice, donated euros for missions, traveling missionaries and excellent local cooperation networks in Bangladesh. For everything, we want to give the glory to God alone, to whom it belongs!
Together with mission pastor Martti Falck, I was able to open the door to one of the world’s least achieved countries with the gospel – Bangladesh. Earlier in the summer, God spoke clearly to me about a new mission field in the work of the Salvation To All Nations mission organization, and so our organization’s second mission trip was directed there. We clearly felt Paul’s words come true in our lives: “The door has been opened to me for a great and fruitful work, and there are many adversaries” (1 Corinthians 16:9).
Therefore, please stand by with us in constant prayers! This is the only way to achieve a perfect spiritual breakthrough in this country and see a great spiritual revival. Lord will answer to your prayers for revival in Bangladesh.
In this picture, You’ll found happy main coordinator of our mission trip to Bangladesh, Pastor Probhudan Baroi. He comes from the denomination called Redeemed Church of God, and he has also planted 6 Build Church For Him churches in both Bangladesh and Nepal. He holds in his hands hundreds of filled contact cards including person’s contact information on one side and their prayer topics in Bengali on the other. Under his leadership, the 65 local churches that were involved in organizing our major evangelistic event are now starting follow-up work with these new Christians. Please pray for them that they can make hundreds of new followers of Jesus to become the disciples of Jesus through Christian baptism and teaching.
Together with Pastor Martti Falck, we want to express our gratitude to God from the bottom of our hearts in addition to all intercessors, because together with you we were able to step into God’s great works and see 940 people seeking salvation. At the same time numerous people were healed in the powerful name of Jesus and evil spirits flee from demon possessed people, when the kingdom of God broke out in Bangladesh!
In this newsletter, I will scratch only the surface of our missionary journey, but in upcoming newsletters I will share more detailed testimonies of e.g. healings and deliverances.
It was a great privilege to visit a Hindu village in southwestern Bangladesh to preach the gospel of the only living and real God – Jesus Christ. 99% of the inhabitants of this village are Hindus. We visited a small church called Building Church For Him, where only six of those present were already Christians.
When I preached Jesus’ immense love of Jesus for the lost based on Jesus’ parable of the lost sheep in Luke 15:1-7, the Holy Spirit descended powerfully on that moment, as 11 people with a Hindu background and one Muslim man responded to Jesus’ invitation to enter their lives.
To paraphrase the parable, our Lord Jesus was allowed to find them and “joyfully lift them up one by one on his shoulders” to lead them to his own flock (see the picture of the rising hands below – in front of him, a couple of former Christians also raise their hands to encourage others, whom I do not count). On the next day, Pastor Martti preached the gospel and more than 20 people raised their hands to Jesus in the same church, some of whom were different people than the day before.
Great joy broke out in the midst of the congregation and now they are waiting for a greater revival in their village!
In the picture below, a local entrepreneur makes idols for local people. I invited also him to join our meeting. He promised to come, but this time it wasn’t his time yet. Please pray for his salvation and that of many other Bangladeshis that the light of Christ may shine in the midst of their darkness.
Currently, more than 91% of 200 million Bangladeshis are still Muslims, 0.3% are Christians and the rest of them are Hindus.
We also received official invitations from the Assemblies of God representing Pentecostal movement. They invited us back to Bangladesh in 2026 to organize large crusades up to 5000 – 7000 people (thus about 15,000 people could be reached with the gospel in some of the regions) in three different Bangladeshi counties lasting three days on each region.
Thus we summon as Salvation to All Nations board with spouses to pray for God’s perfect guidance on these and all other received invitations from about 10 different countries in both Africa and Asia. Please pray with us for the fulfillment of God’s perfect will and timing in all our plans for 2026.

God performed a great miracle for the mission trip to Bangladesh, as the entire budget of 14 000 € came in 3 days prior to the mission trip. God is faithful and He acted according to His own good will in all donors and Christian entrepreneurs.
We give the glory of all these miracles to Jesus Christ alone!
