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

Help Missionaries Share the Gospel Message in Myanmar
Pray the Lord will comfort those displaced by war. As part of their work, indigenous missionaries visit members of a particular ethnic group who are currently living in a camp for internally displaced people due to the ongoing civil war. During a recent visit, 10 people—nine Buddhists and one Muslim—gave their lives to Christ and were baptized. “The Lord blessed our mission in the camp,” the ministry leader said. “Now they all have seen the miracle work of Jesus in their lives.” Your donations help support missionaries as they travel to share the gospel in these dangerous times.

Expand the Lord’s Kingdom in Cambodia
Pray that indigenous missionaries will serve the Lord with gladness. An 84-year-old indigenous missionary who was once a military leader became a believer through the evangelism of a young pastor. Now, the older man serves as a pastor in a small village where he lives with his family, preaching the gospel and helping the poor and elderly. “I do not only preach the gospel of salvation through Christ Jesus, but I am also living the gospel through love and caring for one another,” he said. “I am so honored to be a part of Christ’s kingdom among my fellow countrymen.” Your donations support missionaries in their everyday work.

Assist Missionaries as They Serve Others in Indonesia
Pray for missionaries as they serve their communities during challenging economic times. As part of their outreach to the community, a team of local missionaries goes house to house to distribute resources such as food, rice, sugar, and tea. They also deliver these things to orphans, some of whom have special needs. At each place, the missionaries share the gospel and pray over the people. “May He bless our good efforts in the very precious job of Christ’s gospel mission field,” the ministry leader said. Donations of $60 or $120 are needed to support outreach such as this.

Support Ministry to Displaced People in Myanmar
A 6-year-old boy and two of his siblings now live at a children’s home run by a native ministry because their father—a poor farmer—was concerned that their village might soon be destroyed in the ongoing civil war. Another group of siblings and their mother also recently arrived at the home after their father was presumed killed by the military. The ministry was able to employ their mother because she once was a part-time teacher. Donations of $35 or $70 support aid such as this to those displaced through war and other turmoil. Pray the Lord will protect those living through such challenging times.

Deliver Life-Changing Gospel Resources in Laos
Pray the salvation story will transform entire communities. Through the evangelism of a local ministry, members of a small, ethnic minority who live in a region opposed to the gospel have begun to listen to the Word of God and give their lives to Jesus. Their transformations are largely the result of the ministry’s distribution of MP3s and USB drives, which are filled with resources such as audio Bibles, books, and hundreds of radio programs. “Is this not wonderful?” the ministry leader said. Your gifts help missionaries provide such resources to the lost.

Strengthen Christians Amid Hostility to the Gospel in Vietnam
Pray for persecuted Christians who suffer in the name of Jesus. Though a house church of 36 believers had been meeting together without any problem for several months, local officials recently came to members’ homes and questioned them about their church-related activities. After the believers were told they must adhere to traditional customs rather than worship God, their identification cards were confiscated, and they were held for hours without any resolution. “We hope to be ensured the right to freedom of religion, to worship God peacefully,” said one of the church members. Your donations support persecuted Christians in times of need.
