Help Send the Gospel to the Unreached in Bangladesh
A native ministry has sent new workers to share the gospel with two major tribes, joining those already working among six ethnic groups. “We have seen that lives among the people groups have been improving since the native missionaries started working in the three hill districts,” the ministry leader said. “Many people have given up drinking wine and doing bad things. They have been interested to hear the Word of God and to go to the church.” Workers visiting hospitals also have shared the gospel, and another recent outreach resulted in eight tribal people accepting Christ. Donations are sought for such gospel work. Pray the love among the brethren would glorify God.
Provide Food and Compassionate Aid in Sri Lanka
The number of children arriving hungry at a native Christian ministry’s primary school grew amid economic and social unrest, and workers provided them with lunches of nutritious rice and curry. “The mid-day meal is the most important one in Sri Lanka, and we are glad that we are able to feed these children,” the ministry leader said. “The parents too are happy that their children receive a nutritious meal.” Workers also provided families going hungry with food boxes. Some of the children at the school are orphans living with grandparents too poor to feed themselves. Donations are sought for food and other compassionate aid. Pray such aid will open more hearts to the gospel.

Donations of $25 or $50 are sought for such evangelistic outreach and follow-up. Pray for opportunities for children to break the cycle of poverty.

A 36-year-old man gradually descended into madness, neglecting his family and drinking so much he often slept on the street. Attending a native ministry’s church, the gospel sank deeply into his heart, and he met with the pastor and put his faith in Christ. “I am very thankful that God has given a new life to a dead person like me, and now I am telling the Good News to many people through my life testimony,” he said. Workers sharing 6,859 tracts have continued to share the gospel in spite of legal restrictions and other obstacles. They need donations to proclaim Christ and strengthen the faith of those who commit to the Lord. Pray the Lord’s protection over workers.
Support Kingdom Expansion in South Asia
A church pastor with a gift for touching people’s hearts with the gospel recently visited nearby villages and shared Christ continuously.

Both put their faith in Christ. Donations of $25 or $50 are sought for workers to share the gospel and nurture the faith of new Christians. Pray that all barriers to workers sharing the gospel would be overcome.
