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

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.

Support the Fellowship of Local Believers in the Philippines
Pray that local missionaries will be encouraged as they fellowship together. Nearly 200 ministry workers from two regions recently participated in a local ministry’s Leadership Development Program in which they worked in small groups to learn ways to lead Bible study participants into ministry work. “During the small group discussions, the participants were reminded that they should be able to perpetuate a reproducible ministry,” the ministry leader said. “They discussed the step-by-step process on how to help people become workers of the Lord Jesus.” Donations support ministry events such as this.

Support Gospel Work During Dangerous Times in Myanmar
Pray the Lord will sustain missionaries in dangerous places. A local ministry has begun to help those displaced by the civil war that continues to plague the country. Recently, missionaries provided aid to 28 vulnerable families whose homes were destroyed in one village, and they assisted approximately 75 families in another, larger town in which more than 500 homes were burned to the ground. “Although we have been facing civil unrest, and recently natural disasters like floods, we are doing well by His grace alone,” the ministry leader said. Your donations of $40 or $80 help provide assistance to vulnerable people.

Equip Missionaries for Gospel Work in the Philippines
Pray for new believers as they seek to walk closer to Jesus. A young man whose life was changed by the gospel became a powerful example to his family and community of the transformative power of Christ. “His once-empty heart was filled with the love and grace of Jesus,” the ministry leader said. “Through discipleship training and equipping sessions provided by our workers, he embarked on a journey of deepening his faith and understanding God’s word.” Now, others want to follow Christ because of his testimony. Your donations of $60 or $120 assist missionaries as they help believers deepen their relationship with Jesus.

Celebrate as People Come to Christ in Cambodia
Pray for people to be filled with the joy of the Lord. A local missionary and his wife who serve as substitute teachers at a nearby school pray for their classes at the beginning and end of each day as well as with individual students. Because of their experience with school-aged children, they also established a ministry in which they mentor students three days each week at their church. “This has resulted in many children and toddlers coming to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior,” the ministry leader said. Your donations support such outreach.
