Engaging the Islands of South Asia

God is using Ultimate Frisbee to build gospel bridges!

Our team gathers weekly to play a friendly game with a group of about 30 locals. So far, we have been able to share about Jesus with over 20 of them!

Each week, God opens new doors. People ask questions like, “Your marriage is different. Why?”

These kinds of curious questions provide natural segways into gospel conversations.

Jesus tells us, “By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another” (John 13:35).

People here notice that we differ in the respect and kindness we show each other and them. These qualities make us unique from others and make an impact.

Your generosity to this ministry enables us to build relationships to share the gospel with those who have never heard it, living where there are no churches and few believers.

Thank you for loving the lost living on the islands of South Asia. Thank you for sacrificially giving so they can hear about Jesus.

Please join us in prayer:

• Pray for our weekly Ultimate Frisbee games to continue drawing locals interested in hearing about Jesus. Pray they see Christ shining through us.
• Ask for the Lord’s direction as we teach believers in a nearby nation how to plant, grow, and lead healthy churches.
• Pray for trust among local believers, so they begin meeting together as a church.
• Praise the Lord for the local Christians we have connected with recently.

Thank you for helping reach the islands of South Asia with the gospel. You are an encouragement and partner in bringing good news “to the end of the earth” (Acts 1:8).

God is doing amazing things on the Islands and has been stirring up hearts worldwide for the people of the islands. Since this project began, an Indian family moved to the Islands to serve as bi-vocational workers. They work in a business on one of the islands and share the gospel with many islanders. As a result, two islanders have been led to faith and have been baptized!

These salvations are significant because turning to Jesus means potentially facing serious consequences. Islanders could lose their citizenship, be jailed, or even be killed for becoming believers.

Additionally, your generosity enables believing tourists to travel to the islands and spend strategic time sharing the gospel, prayer walking, and following up with people who seek to hear more. These tourists have also encouraged our Indian national believer and his family.

Thank you so much for your kindness, generosity, and partnership! Your gifts bring the love and good news of Christ to people who have never heard.

Thank you for your faithful intercession and sacrificial giving.

Your support of our work to bring the gospel to islands of South Asia is crucial. We see the answered prayers, and we rejoice that you are part of our team. Thank you so much! Here are a few prayer requests for our team.

Prayer Requests:

• Recently, we developed an eight-minute “Creation to Christ” video; however, we need someone to record it in the local language. Due to persecution, people are fearful of being involved in the making of this film. Pray for a local speaker to narrate this valuable gospel tool.
• Pray for a new local believer, Ibrahim,* to develop a genuine, growing faith in Jesus Christ.
• Please pray for our national partner and his family who crossed cultures to serve here on the islands. Pray against the spiritual warfare and isolation they face.Pray for new long-term workers to join work on the Islands. Pray for those who are making decisions and moving forward in the process.

On behalf of our entire team, thank you so much for your sacrificial giving of God’s work in South Asia. Your generosity and faithfulness are changing lives!
