Suriname lies on the northeast coast of South America, with Guyana to the west, French Guiana to the east, and Brazil to the south. It is about one-tenth larger than Michigan. Dutch is the official language but English is widely spoken. Of its 439,117 inhabitants, 27.4% are Hindu, 25.2% Protestant (predominantly Moravian), 22.8% Roman Catholic, 19.6% Islam and 5% indigenous. Almost half of the population lives in the capital city of Paramaribo.*

BIMI has no missionary presence in this small South American country. Christ died for the souls of Suriname. Will you go and tell them?
