A.B. Simpson once stated that, "Prayer is the mighty engine that is to move the missionary work." Without the sustained and intercessory prayers of God’s faithful servants, the challenges of reaching the teaming millions of Asian people will be insurmountable. In 2008, incredible devastation once again rocked Asian Spice nations through natural disasters of great magnitude. The earthquake in Sichuan, China and the cyclone in Myanmar resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths, injuries and people left homeless and in great need. Out of these seemingly helpless situations, the redemptive character of God has thrust open new doors of opportunity where previous access was nearly non-existent. This is the sovereign work of a loving God that earnestly desires to draw people to himself. People who were without hope in these places are now discovering the truth of the good news of Jesus Christ.

Throughout the Asian Spice region, God’s Spirit is moving. Through one of our teams, a small fellowship is emerging among those of a fanatical Muslim background who are coming to know Jesus. Those from a fanatical and dark Buddhist background have taken steps to grow in their walk with God by being baptized. Marginalized, abused and disenfranchised people are being practically loved by God “through” his servants. For this, we rejoice and give great glory to God. We look with anticipation for a fresh work of his Spirit as together we unite our hearts in prayer to see his Kingdom of light established amongst the least reached across Asian Spice.
