Kingdom Leaven Spreads Through Whole Groups

High in the Himalayas, near the border between China and Nepal, church planter Sonam walks into villages where the name of Jesus has never been heard.

And the Kingdom is taking root.

In just one year, hundreds of new churches have been born among people long considered closed to the gospel.

Sometimes, it begins with one person.

In one remote mountain village, a young woman had been sick for years. Sonam prayed for her, and she was miraculously and completely healed.

Soon after, she followed Jesus’ example and entered the watery grave of baptism.

Then something completely unexpected happened. Her father had watched everything. He had seen his daughter healed. He had seen her faith take root. And what he had witnessed stirred something in his own heart.

He followed his daughter into the river and was also baptized.

God has begun the process of saving this family.

But the story isn’t finished. Other members of the household have yet to follow.

Pray for the rest of this family, that they too will encounter Jesus and enter His Kingdom. And pray for the thousands across these remote borderlands who are still waiting to hear that the Kingdom has come near.

Prayer Focus

Kingdom Expansion: Pray that the Kingdom would expand even among the world’s largest Buddhist population, that the increase of God’s Kingdom would have no end in China (Isaiah 9:7).

Pray for Hong Kong

Hong Kong reports over 1 million Buddhists among its total population of approximately 7.51 million. This city in political transition contains a significant number of churches. Pray for believers in Hong Kong to boldly and lovingly engage Buddhist neighbours amid ongoing social upheaval.

More about Chengdu, China

Chengdu, capital of Sichuan province, is a major hub for both Han Chinese culture and movement activity, sitting at the gateway to Tibetan Buddhist regions. China’s 230 million Buddhists represent the world’s largest Buddhist population, yet the majority remain outside the reach of the growing Chinese church. Learn more here.

Isaiah 9:7 declares that the increase of God’s government has no end. Would you join in praying that his rule would soon overcome all the powers that stand against him in these countries?
