When eight local missionaries set out to help victims of the devastating earthquake that rocked Myanmar in March, they had no idea of the human misery they would soon encounter. They knew the disaster had crippled their country, but their own ministry buildings had survived with minimal damage and their fellow missionaries were safe. Now, however, the team fell into silence as the ministry van approached the first stop: a railway station.

Risking All for Christ in Kenya
When Akello*, a young Kenyan pastor, arrived at his church early one morning, he had no idea that day would be his last.

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.
