The devil, with the help of wicked men, has always known that the long-term future of any movement of God depends on its youth.

The evil one has focused many of his most severe attacks on children, whether by Pharaoh at the time of Moses, or Herod’s slaughter of the children in Bethlehem at the birth of Jesus.

In China—where the economic future and social fabric are unraveling because of the terrible ‘one-child policy’ of the past two generations—the Communist government has long been terrified of Christian activity among children.

While evangelists often faced two or three years in prison if caught preaching the gospel to adults, those engaged in outreach to children have invariably faced more severe punishment and harsher prison sentences.

Although it may go against conventional wisdom, over the years we have seen how the Lord has penetrated entire communities by first reaching the children.

When God gets a hold of them, their dramatic change in behavior is a powerful witness that convinces parents of the power of the gospel. Countless rebellious and unruly kids have been transformed by the Holy Spirit into obedient and respectful children.

While it’s easy to see evidence of societal decay throughout the world today, we are also witnessing many children being redeemed by the Blood of Jesus Christ, who are tremendous weapons for the kingdom of God and a powerful force in their communities.

The devil trembles whenever the Holy Spirit brings children into the kingdom of God. King David once proclaimed, 

“Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger” (Psalm 8:2)

In this newsletter, we would like to share with you a wonderful opportunity to help the Church in Asia reach thousands of precious children with the Gospel.

Please pray for this project and prayerfully consider if you might be able to help get God’s Word into the hands of children throughout Asia.

After our co-workers in different countries of Asia asked for good quality printed material specifically designed to reach children with the Gospel, the Lord led us to partner with some ministries to print thousands of their children’s Bible storybooks. They have made a tremendous impact.

We believe one of the key reasons for the success of this project is the quality of the books themselves. They are beautifully illustrated in full color, and the children who receive these books treat them as precious gifts.

They are read multiple times and talked about at school and among friends. Neighbors frequently come together to discuss the Bible with one another, and in many villages and towns, children gather to read the stories as a group.

Over the years, we have printed and distributed tens of thousands of children’s Bible storybooks in China, Vietnam, Myanmar, Indonesia, Bangladesh, and in several Indian languages.

We would like to share a few testimonies just from a major distribution among children in Myanmar.

(These Stories were made possible because of support from - The Children's Fund)

A BUDDHIST NUN ASKS FOR A BIBLE  

“As a young girl walked home from one of our meetings, joyfully reading her new children’s Bible storybook, a pink-robed Buddhist nun asked what she was reading that was giving her such happiness.

The girl told her it was a wonderful book about God and showed the nun some of the stories.

The nun as so excited that she asked, “Will you please give this to me?” The girl was taken aback and clutched the newly-acquired book closely to her heart, saying,

“I can never give it away, sorry. No matter how much money you could offer me, it is mine!”

The child then realized the nun should get her own copy, and she took her to the meeting place, where she joined the Bible study the following day.

She was deeply moved by the Gospel and began attending regularly and was given her own copy of God’s Word.”

NI LA’S FIRST GIFT

Living in a slum area with her alcoholic father and mother who spends her days sorting through tons of trash looking for plastic bottles she can sell, little Ni La had been attending our meetings for 8 weeks, learning about Jesus.

Earlier that day she had received first-ever gift - a children’s Bible storybook. Her father demanded to know what the book was about, and Ni La detailed how God demonstrated His love by sending Jesus Christ to come and die for people’s sins.

Her parents were deeply moved by the story, which they had never heard before. Ni La’s dad started attending the meetings and is now part of our men’s group.

Our team is praying for him and helping him as he battles alcoholism and is being delivered by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

CHU’S INFECTIOUS JOY

Chu first placed her trust in the Lord Jesus two years ago and has evangelized her entire family, and many friends.

She longed to know God’s Word intimately and was overjoyed when she was given her most treasured possession.

The book opened her eyes and deepened her faith, and she went from being a shy girl to a bold intercessor who has effectively led many other children and young people to faith in Christ.

We find her in our meeting place each day, sharing what she has learned with others and always reading her precious Bible.”
