Christianity continues to grow among ethnic minorities, and believers face increasing persecution from oppressive regimes and radical Muslims. In Myanmar, indigenous missionaries are working amid a civil war between a brutal military regime and resistance groups, providing aid and care to people who have fled their homes to take refuge in the forests. Throughout the region, ministries are discipling and training new Christian leaders, translating Scripture into local languages, and bringing hope to downtrodden people and communities through education, microenterprise, medical care, and more.

Ministry Highlight

In Myanmar, a ministry provided nearly 2,000 displaced people who fled to the forests to escape ongoing civil war with food, supplies and temporary shelters. “I received a distress call from a woman residing in one of the villages,” the ministry leader said. “She recounted how her husband had been arrested and burned alive, leaving her with four children. We offered her refuge at our children’s home, where she and her children now reside. Her children are enrolled in the school, and she assists us as a cook.”

How You Can Make a Difference

Equipping indigenous missionaries in Southeast Asia with regular support, Bibles, transportation, and training enables them to effectively share the Good News with people who have never heard the name of Jesus Christ. Your support will help ensure that people in areas unreached by the gospel will hear about the Savior.

From the Mission Field in Southeast Asia

Support Refugee Outreach in Thailand
A native ministry sends relief packages of rice and dry food to the border areas at the end of each month to help feed the growing number of refugees who have fled Myanmar’s civil war. Workers are also providing medical assistance and help finding shelter. According to several NGOs in Thailand, more than 6 million Burmese are now in Thailand. “These are our harvest,” a ministry leader said. Donations of $35 or $70 are needed for such compassionate aid. Please pray for the Holy Spirit to sustain workers as they tirelessly provide support to those who need it most.

Expand Outreach And Discipleship Tools in Cambodia
Almost 7,000 people have received Christ through a native ministry’s radio program, which celebrated its third anniversary last year. The program is broadcast across the country via radio apps and social media, and people of all ages and from all walks of life, including political leaders and indigenous people, have benefitted from the Christian messages. An estimated five to 12 people call in to receive Jesus each day on air, and leaders give all the praise to God for blessing the people of Cambodia through this ministry. Donations are needed for such evangelism and discipleship projects. Pray for the hearts of the people as they hear the good news of Christ.

Support Discipleship Of New Believers in Indonesia
Church planters of one ministry have shared the gospel with 21,335 people during the last six-month period, and of that number, 650 people decided to follow Christ. One new believer, a street busker who had lost all hope for his future, was baptized, and now he is discipled regularly by Christian workers. He has a newfound joy in Jesus and is excited to share the gospel with others. Another new believer shared the gospel with five of his friends who all accepted Christ and began to attend a local house church. Donations of $60 or $120 help church planters reach people like these men. Pray for God to continue to open doors to minister to non-believers.

Train Leaders For War-Torn Mission Field in Myanmar
Thousands of people have been brutally murdered in Myanmar’s ongoing civil war, and many thousands more have fled their homes. But the Holy Spirit continues to move despite the oppressive fear that hangs over the country. Bible schools and Christian academies serve hundreds of students, and one school sends 27 teams to 27 places each Sunday to teach Scripture to the people. “What a privilege to preach and teach the Word of God. I am happy to say, ‘My school is my mission field,’” said one teacher. Donations are needed to help train frontline missionaries. Pray for protection for workers as they travel along dangerous roads to share the love of Christ.

Help Church Plants Disciple Their Flocks in the Philippines
A ministry leader drove more than 100 miles on dirt roads to join in celebration with the congregation of one of the ministry’s church plants, which had organized a baptismal event along the Pacific Ocean for one of its families. Together, the mother, her husband, and their daughter were baptized in the ocean. “I love music and I love Jesus,” the daughter said before she was immersed in the water. “Jesus created music, so I know He will be pleased as I sing in church my praises to Him!” Funds help support church plants such as this one. Pray for ministry workers in their evangelism efforts.

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.
