are presently 26 local congregations in the PAOSL
fellowship. There is a need for developing more church

Sri Lanka is a multi-religious country with the majority

be primarily from the Sinhalese ethnic group. There
are also Hindus (15%) who are from the Tamil population.
There are also Christians (8%) and Muslims (7%) from
among various ethnic groupings. Until recently Sri
Lanka has been in a civil war which has left a legacy
of over 200,000 displaced people, many of whom have
lost everything. We are working with ERDO to facilitate
the distribution of relief to the refugee camps.
They have three grown children and five grandchildren.
