Urgent: Earthquake Devastates Myanmar
A 7.7-magnitude earthquake rocked Myanmar Friday, March 28, sending buildings tumbling to the ground and people pouring into the streets. More than 2,000 people are confirmed dead, with that count expected to rise; more than 3,900 are injured; and nearly 300 remain missing. In Bangkok, Thailand, which sits hundreds of miles from the epicenter, at least 18 are confirmed dead, mostly from a collapsed building. “The damage is beyond measure,” one local ministry leader in Myanmar reported. “Many thousands are in great need.”

Filipino Prostitutes Abandon Sex Trade and Don’t Look Back
Sisters Angela* and Isa* were prostitutes in Manila. Having never completed a formal education, and with children to feed and support, the sisters found themselves there, in the country’s capital, eking out a living within the city’s dark—and illegal—sex trade. But the sisters were desperate for a break, for a moment to breathe and spend time with their children without worrying about surviving another day. So, they packed up their families and traveled to the coast. They expected it to be a momentary reprieve, but the Lord had another plan for their lives.

Urgent: Civil War and Starvation in Sudan
When shots rang out on the morning of April 15, 2023, Faheem*, a leader of a local ministry, ordered his family to hit the floor. Tensions remained high in Sudan after the alliance between two military generals had fallen apart two years earlier, and Faheem wasn’t taking any risks, even though most Sudanese had grown accustomed to the occasional overflow of violence into the streets. On this particular day, Faheem assumed the conflict would pass quickly, as seemed to be the case lately. But he soon realized everything was about to change. “We were all surprised at how the tension between the two groups escalated into war,” Faheem said. “No one was prepared for such circumstances.”

Addicts in China Get Second Chance
Chun* was an addict. His dependency on alcohol led to an eventual addiction to illegal drugs and, now, his life was nothing more than a cycle of desperation followed by temporary relief. He was a man in despair. But his path would soon cross that of a ministry leader who understood his misery and the difficulty of overcoming it, a man who once struggled with his own addiction before a life-changing encounter with Jesus. Now, this man led a ministry focused on helping other addicts transform their physical dependency on drugs into a spiritual reliance on the Lord. Through that ministry, Chun would soon begin his own journey toward change.

Brazilian Missionaries Visit Previously Unreached Tribe in Colombia
Ten years ago, an indigenous Colombian tribe fled their villages deep in the Amazon when drug traffickers and guerilla groups took over their territory, threatening them with death if they did not leave. In the chaos of the moment, their leader was killed, and the rest of the people attempted to create a new home nearer to a large city. But when—several months ago—three local missionaries from nearby Brazil trekked through the jungle to meet the tribe and assess their living situation, their continued destitution was evident. “They live in canvas tents and have no food,” one of the missionaries said. “It was very sad to see the situation in which they find themselves because it is of total abandonment. Everyone was very hungry.”
