Praying for East Asians on the Move – A New Pitch

The Okinawa sun was fierce, the match was fast, and Daigo had salt air in his lungs. One moment he was staring past the pitch to the sea; the next, a striker was racing right at him. Daigo dived, stretched, and pushed the ball wide. It was a save! Football soon took him far from home. Scouted for a Tokyo academy, he swapped island life for towers, floodlights and exhausting drills. His dad’s words travelled with him: “Read your Bible, Daigo.” At first, he did it from habit. Slowly, Jesus’ words began to feel like they were directed at him:... Read more

Praying for East Asians on the Move

« Rise like Incense » Piak’s friends looked forward to school holidays filled with football, but Piak chose a different path: three weeks as a novice Buddhist monk. Instead of boots, he wore ochre robes. In a quiet monastery orchard, Bangkok’s noise faded into birdsong, incense and chanting. In Thai culture, ordination as a monk, even for a brief period, is a time-tested way to honour your parents. As the firstborn son, Piak chose to follow the culturally expected path of Theravada Buddhism and spirit worship. Beneath Piak’s devotion pain lingered. His parents separated when he was five, and when his mother... Read more

Philippines – Standing Firm in Spiritual Challenges

During a recent summer camp, our team encountered a situation that reminded us of the reality of spiritual warfare and the importance of prayer. One student experienced significant spiritual distress, and despite various efforts by family and community members to help, the situation remained unresolved. This opened the door for meaningful conversations with the student and guardian about the hope, peace, and freedom found in Jesus. Our team was able to share stories from Scripture, including Jesus’ authority over evil spirits, and to point them to him as the source of true deliverance and lasting hope. We are grateful that...
