The South Asian Forum (SAF)

The South Asian Forum of the Evangelical Alliance (SAF) is a new grouping within the Evangelical Alliance, set up to provide a forum for South Asian Christians in the UK to encourage, support and equip each other for mission, and to represent their concerns to Government, media and the wider Church.

There are around 75,000 South Asian Christians in the UK, representing the eight countries of South Asia* and a range of languages and ethnic backgrounds.

As a 'minority within a minority' they need a voice to respond quickly and with unity to issues, for example pressure on Christians in Pakistan and the on-going fragility of the country, persecution of some Indian Christians, or the intense suffering caused by the divisions in Sri Lanka.
