Welcome to our monthly news section – created especially for those of you who have joined us and share our passion for the unreached peoples of this world.

Youth alive

We're rejoicing at all the Lord is doing among the young people connected with our ministry. Our youth officer has just returned from a great weekend at Springs Christian Fellowship in Hertfordshire. What an awesome youth group! The subject matter for the Saturday night was persecution in North Korea and the Sunday morning service was on Bhutan. Did you know that Christianity is illegal in Bhutan and that most Bhutanese people have never heard of Jesus Christ? In N.Korea, even owning a Bible could give you a life-sentence in a prison camp.

Summer-lovin'

This summer's short-term trip to Asia is currently being planned. In the next month or so we will be sending an email to those who have registered their interest. To join the list, email us and we'll be sure to send you the relevant information.

Magazine

The next issue of our magazine is due out soon – and it's been a long time coming! That's because the content and design has been updated to hopefully make it the best youth missions magazine out there.

History in the making

Recently, history was made in communist Vietnam. Christian sources reported that some 40,000 people gathered in a hastily constructed venue in Ho Chi Minh City to celebrate Christmas and hear a gospel message – an event of unprecedented magnitude in Vietnam. A popular Vietnamese Christian website and other reports indicated up to 8,000 people responded to the gospel message indicating a desire to follow Christ.

Authorities initially refused to grant permission and tried urgently to talk leaders out of going ahead, promising future concessions if they would cancel the event. For house churches, large gatherings are both very rare and very special, and for many this was their first glimpse of the strength of Vietnam’s growing Christian movement. Thousands of Christians joined a choir of more 1,000 singers in loud and joyful praise.

But please continue to pray for the church in Vietnam. There is still severe persecution, particularly among the hill tribes of in the central and northern areas. We know of believers who have been imprisoned, beaten and even murdered in the last couple of months.
