Late one afternoon, we visited a village far away from our house. When we arrived, we found many people at home. We talked with the villagers, shared many things about Jesus, and taught simple health lessons.

Since Jacklin first heard about Jesus as a child, she wanted to go to church. Her Hindu family told her not to go, but she went anyway. Jacklin continued to go to church every Sunday until she became an adult.

God is on the move, and He is calling Jesus for Asia to increase its mission reach, both in the number of projects as well as in new territories. To follow that call, we need to…

Eighty-eight percent of people in Thailand have not had the opportunity even to hear the Gospel (Joshua Project Website). Our Love for Asia media team has been adding new team members and collaborating with others to create new videos, translate literature, and more! Check out the projects the team has been working on and how God has been working in their ministry.

Night after night, Mr. Kumar lay in his bed, staring into the darkness. He had no peace in his home or his heart, and he couldn’t sleep. He spent every day exhausted, which surely did not help alleviate his problems. One day, as he was traveling to do ministry in his assigned village, Brother Janslin, a JFA Bible Worker, met Mr. Kumar, who shared his problems with him.

Have you heard of "Lumpy Skin Disease?" We hadn't either. But according to the news website The National, “Nearly 100,000 cows and buffaloes have died after more than two million cattle were infected by [the lumpy skin disease virus] in India in one of the deadliest outbreaks in the country."

Neeraj* had lost all hope. He had recently run for a position in a local election and spent a large sum of borrowed money on his campaign.

The family wanted to come and worship Jesus with fellow believers, but he prevented them from going.

After watching the construction of their new classroom building–and helping build it by carrying sand, hammering rocks, etc.–for more than a year, the Manipur School students are excited to study in the first two classrooms! The children's Sabbath school class was the first to use the new classrooms, and now the tenth-grade students are using them for their studies.

How do we react when someone is unkind to us, when they yell in our faces and spew hatred at us? Do we respond with kindness? Or do we retaliate? Our human nature demands we fight back, but that is not God’s way. He knows that while we may feel better in the moment, we often make things worse in the long run. Still, responding to our enemies God’s way isn’t easy, and many professed Christians fail to do so when a crisis hits.

My name is Vasudev, and I come from a Hindu family. I am married with two children, a son and a daughter. When my daughter, Asmita, was born, we were so happy.
