Violence in Myanmar

As the military stage another coup in Myanmar and connections with the outside world are lost, remember those who are caught up in the fighting both in the capital but also in the border areas with Thailand. Here the villages of the Karen people have been systematically burned and bombed over the last few weeks. Just before the power outage and internet cut off our partners were able to send out some information about the situation, but now all contact is lost, and many people are fleeing for their lives. Please pray for those who have lost everything, who have nowhere to go and no one to turn to. Ask God to send His people with aid and the message of salvation in Jesus.

Church growth in Vietnam

Pray for the growth of the Church in Vietnam. Many Vietnamese became Catholics under French rule. More recently, some have turned to Protestantism, especially among a few of the mountain tribes of central and southern Vietnam. Unregistered churches have multiplied and grown significantly all over the country. Praise God that a growing, witnessing Church is emerging despite ongoing persecution in Vietnam.

Church growth in Thailand

In Thailand, the Church is growing but not without resistance. The complex web of traditional culture, Buddhism, spirit appeasement and occult practices holds the population in a social cohesiveness out of which few have dared emerge. We thank God that, though church growth has been modest, a large proportion of ethnic Thai Church members are first generation believers. Prayer is needed for the contextualisation of the message for the Buddhist culture. Thai music, art forms, worship patterns, styles of leadership and Bible study must be developed under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Outreach to the Bonai people

Please pray for the Bonai people of Indonesia. One of the WO teams has made an exploratory prayer trip to visit this group. Pray for workers who feel a distinct call from the Lord to reach them. Pray that the Lord would open the hearts of the Bonai to receive the gospel. Pray for creative ideas for our team planning to reach them. Pray that, in years to come, there would be a thriving church planting movement among the Bonai.

Radio outreach in Myanmar

Reach Beyond broadcast gospel programmes into Myanmar using shortwave radio from Australia. Let us pray that the peace of the Lord inundates the hearts of believers as they navigate the uncertainties. Let us pray for boldness as they keep professing their faith in the Lord. Even though the military has not shown any signs of religious persecution up to this point, we know that they favour Buddhists. Christians there are praying that pressure from the international community will cause the civilian government to regain power and that might bring better days. One thing we do know: with all domestic broadcast and telecommunications being under severe restrictions, shortwave radio will be more crucial than ever in the country right now.
