That's according to three friends from Denmark who have been backpacking in Sri Lanka this summer.
They continue: "Many have converted from Buddhism and have subsequently found that their family no longer wants anything to do with them. They need our prayers."
"Many Christians in this country cannot afford a Bible, even though it costs only 600 rupees. That's the equivalent of 30 Danish kroner! So it was a great joy when they received their own Bible, because as one said, it is not optimal to live as a Christian without a Bible."
