Christianity has taken root and continues to grow among ethnic minorities in Southeast Asia who face increasing persecution from oppressive regimes and the Muslim population. Indigenous missionaries in Southeast Asia are challenged to minister to unreached people groups in regions of extreme poverty and where there is rampant drug usage. The countries of Myanmar, Laos, and Thailand comprise Southeast Asia’s Golden Triangle, one of Asia’s two main opium-producing areas. Myanmar is also the world’s largest producer of methamphetamines.
Indigenous ministries throughout Southeast Asia have opened free preschools and daycare centers in poor areas, where missionaries nurture and feed children in a safe environment while their parents work. This has opened many doors for the message of Christ to spread to Buddhist families who would otherwise be resistant to the gospel. Other ministries run feeding centers where children enjoy a nourishing meal while learning about the Bible. Many other ministries shelter and care for children who were abandoned or abused at their orphanages or children’s centers.
Your monthly support will help reach children in Southeast Asia with the gospel.
