Asian Pacific Rim Health Care Ministries

In many areas of East Asia where poverty is rampant, there are no churches and few believers. These areas are particularly rooted in Buddhism and resistant to the gospel.

But your generosity helped believers go out into these communities, offering the love and hope Christ offers.

With your help, they brought warm clothes, food, clean water containers, vitamins, hygiene kits, and simple health education to nomadic herdsmen and their families during the harsh winter months.

Bringing these essentials opened the door to sharing the gospel and distributing Bibles to hundreds. In addition, national believers were partners with you in this outreach project, living out the Great Commission and serving “the least of these” (Matt. 28:19; 25:40).

This outpouring of God’s love met tangible needs and helped establish favorable relations with several government officials.

Thanks to your “partnership in the gospel,” 91 people came to faith in Jesus!

Please continue joining us in prayer:

• Praise the Lord for the 91 new believers. Pray for their spiritual growth.
• Ask God to burden East Asian believers to reach these difficult places to help with discipleship and form a new church in these remote regions.
• Pray for wisdom as our team seeks creative ways to reach nomadic people and connect them with other believers, especially through digital engagement.
• Ask the Lord to guide us as we seek to address the significant mental health needs among these people through trauma healing ministries.

Your sacrificial gifts and prayers support healthcare ministries that allow us to demonstrate the love of Christ in tangible ways and open doors to share the gospel, disciple new believers, and plant healthy churches.

As the rest of the world starts to move on from the pandemic, COVID-19 still impacts the daily lives of migrant workers in northern Thailand. They come primarily from the hill tribes of neighboring countries to Thailand in search of better lives for themselves and their families. They are the backbone of the local construction industry. Their average wage is under $10 a day for almost ten hours of labor per day. These migrant workers are housed in one-room dormitories with communal showers. Some come to northern Thailand alone; others are accompanied by their families.

Covid outbreaks are a regular occurrence here. When a migrant worker tests positive, the entire camp must be quarantined and locked down for at least two weeks. Simply put, no work means no pay. The lack of income alone causes significant hardship on these families who depend on a steady cash flow not only for daily life but also to send back to loved ones in other locations.

But thanks to your generosity, we, along with our Thai friends, are able to serve them by delivering basic necessities such as rice, oil, eggs, vegetables, soap and medicine during these times of great need. This assistance helps build relationships in each camp, enabling Thai Christians to share about the One True God who loves them and can give them hope.

Some camps have believers, and a few have Bible studies, but others have no Christian presence. Nevertheless, these relief projects help provide gospel access among hill tribe peoples from an unreached country working in the urban cities of northern Thailand. Your partnership in this work is reaching not only these men and families but their extended families back in their home country. Thank you for giving to Asian Pacific Health Care Ministries to change lives for Christ through medical mission strategies.

Please prayerfully consider making a gift to support our work. One hundred percent of your gift will be for medical missions in Asia and the Pacific Rim to reach unreached peoples for Christ. Thank you for your faithful partnership.
