International Partner: South Asia
So many of South Asia’s 1.8 billion people have never heard the name of Jesus. God is at work and the church is growing, but there are so many people who have yet to hear the good news of the Gospel. First Baptist Church of Melbourne entered a partnership in 2018 with workers seeking to share the love of Christ in a specific area of a large city in South Asia. Our goal is to plant churches that will in turn plant churches. Sharing the message of the hope that Jesus gives us through friendship, prayer, and encouragement to believers are some of our efforts there.
Current Prayer Requests
(Last Updated January 8, 2025)
Pray:
- The Gospel is advancing, which results in increased persecution. Pray for your South Asian brothers and sisters – that they would stand strong in the faith, and be bold sharing the Hope they have in Jesus with their families and friends.
- Ask God to continue to give wisdom to the Gospel workers there as they navigate changing political and religious sentiments. Pray they will not be discouraged or weary when facing challenges.
- Pray that the Enemy would lose his hold on South Asia and that long-held strongholds over men and women would be broken through the power of the One True God and Savior, Jesus Christ. Let the Name of Jesus be praised all over South Asia!
