Across the East Asia region, intensifying restrictions are fracturing larger fellowships into tiny cells. Increased challenges in sharing the gospel with the younger generation have sparked an urgent need for parents to lead family altars, driving a sharp demand for lay leader training. In isolated areas formerly protected by geographic barriers, advanced surveillance technology now easily penetrates, shuttering once-hidden fellowships and complicating outreach to ethnic minority populations. Yet, indigenous ministries we assist continue to adapt, finding new ways to remain faithful and love the marginalized.
Furthermore, across the region, dedicated workers risk everything to assist those fleeing volatile conditions. Many are guided to secure sanctuaries where former refugees have planted their own unique congregations. Offering a deeply welcoming space where those who have fled feel truly at home, these fellowships equip and train believers to one day return and share their message of hope with their own people.
Missionaries working among remote, ethnic minorities partnered with teachers at small, local schools to help raise awareness about the importance of education, as many children do not attend school, and provided school supplies to poor children. They also distributed food, blankets, and warm clothing to earthquake victims in the region. Their efforts yielded three small groups of believers who meet weekly.

Indigenous missionaries courageously persevere in the face of mounting pressures. They must operate with much wisdom and faith in God’s protection and provision. Your prayers and financial support encourage them, remind them that they are not alone, and strengthen their work so they can reach even more souls for Christ.
