Most of Sri Lanka is relatively flat, according to the Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia "About four-fifths of the island is flat or slightly rolling." In fact, most of Sri Lanka consists of plains that lie between 98 and 656 feet above sea level (CSAH). Although most of Sri Lanka consists of plains, these plains are dotted with several mountains, the best known of which is Adam's Peak at 7,356 feet. Although Adam's Peak is best known for its many religious traditions, the largest mountain is actually Pidurutalagala, considered the highest point in Sri Lanka at 8,278 feet. Sri Lanka's climate is overall very warm all year round due to its close proximity to the equator. The average temperature is in the upper 80s Fahrenheit, although this temperature drops about 10 degrees in the Central Plateau mountains. Although the climate of Sri Lanka is predominantly muggy, between the months of December and January the climate is slightly cooler (Countries of the world). Precipitation in Sri Lanka varies so much that the island is often divided into a “wet zone” and a “dry zone” (Culture Smart). According to Culture Smart, Sri Lanka's "dry zone," located to the east and north of the island, sees much less rainfall - an annual average of about 59 inches compared to 98 inches in the wet zone - and most of that occurs only during the monsoon period” ( 14). Sri Lanka's natural resources are mainly of agricultural origin or derived from mining. Some of the items grown by Sri Lankans are: “…rice, rubber, tea, coconut and many other plantation crops” (COTW 41). Sri Lanka Mine, “Limestone, graphite, mineral sands, gems and phosphates” (UDS 1). Sri Lanka's major exports include “clothing, tea,… half of paper… have begun to increase (Operation World). Even as this number continues to increase, there are still many “Challenges to Prayer” (588), according to Operation World. There are several ways churches can spread the Gospel in Sri Lanka. The first way they should spread the Gospel is by designing a summer Bible school for children and teenagers. According to Operation World, “Youth programs are limited, and most youth have little meaningful contact with the gospel.” (589). Another way churches could spread the Gospel is by being mobile and involved in the local community. According to Operation World, “There are 36,000 villages in Sri Lanka, but only 1,200 have Protestant Christian groups” (589). Within these villages there are “…urban slums” (589) which not only need evangelization, but also need Christians willing to live their faith through service..
