People of Eastern South Asia are struggling through poverty, overcrowding, and oppression. Roughly 300 million Muslims live in this relatively small region. It is one of the most densely populated places on Earth. The good news is that Jesus followers are multiplying in many parts of Eastern South Asia. The bad news is that the vast majority have still never heard that God loves them and came Himself to bring new life. Bangladesh, Myanmar, Eastern India, the island nations of Maldives, not one village or city block is beyond God’s reach. The grip of hopelessness and fear is great. But the power of Jesus to set free is greater! Praise God for multiplying disciples in Eastern South Asia. Pray for access to the New Testament in their own language. Pray for whole families and communities to hear the Gospel and turn to Jesus together. Pray for multiplying movements of God among the Bengali Muslims.
Ask God to send workers with the Gospel and multiply disciples among these people groups: Peuli, PhaGaeo, Phonggou, Phong Ka, PhongLan, Phongphen, Phongpuan, Phong Pour, Phonsget, Phoumon, Phounoi, PhuNoi, Piso, Pooyad, and Pouhoy.
Guangxi autonomous region, China – this region’s name means “the Western Expanse” and is still seen as being a frontier area in China. In the same way, Guangxi autonomous region is a frontier for the spread of the Gospel and is simply waiting for God’s story to develop its people into an intricate vision of God’s kingdom on earth. Pray for ‘frontiersmen’ to go to the lost of Guangxi and plant the church of God among the Mien living there.
