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

Supply Bibles in Native Languages to People in Southeast Asia
Will you help provide Bibles to people in their native language? A local ministry hopes to purchase 200 Bibles and 10,000 gospel tracts to distribute to those who long to read Scripture. “These are very much needed,” the ministry leader said. A gift of $24 supplies Bibles to three people. Pray God’s Word will reach those who long to learn more of Him.

Support Missionaries and Their Families in Southeast Asia
Ministries need assistance supporting their missionaries in the region, many of whom have families and are also responsible for overseeing churches. “The workers are the backbone for one particular ethnic group of Christians,” one ministry leader said. “And they are an encouragement to the many communities of this group.” Your gift of $60 will help meet this ongoing need. Pray for missionaries who daily trust the Lord to meet their needs.

Transform Lives With the Gospel in Southeast Asia
Three months after a man began to read the Bible, he gave his life to Christ and was baptized. His neighbor noticed his transformation and also began to read the Bible. After he, too, became a believer, he led another neighbor to Jesus. “This is the testimony of how they transformed the community,” the ministry leader said. “The first believer bore fruit, and it multiplied.” Donations of $25 or $50 help with evangelism and discipleship such as this. Pray that believers will be lights in their communities.

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.
