A worldwide health crisis is no match for the power of God. The mission of making his name known and building his church continues in Vietnam and Thailand.
Losing a baby could be a powerful and understandable reason to give up a mission. Not for Nathan’s parents. The one-year-old son of Lagyi Sin Nang and Sarawut Sikrinpacdekun, a Burmese missionary couple in Thailand, died recently. He was seriously injured when an audio speaker fell on him during a worship service. Despite the deep sadness, his parents have decided to keep holding onto God and trusting Him, working among Burmese migrants in Bangkok.
God’s works and plans never fail, because He will do all that is His good pleasure. God isn’t just watching the entire happening of history, but He is directing the event.

The Lord’s hand is always visible in His ministry through Narong and Tinh in reaching the Vietnamese-Thai in Thailand. In the past two months, there are seven individuals who accepted Christ into their hearts.

The Gujarat Synod of India and the National Alliance Churches of Myanmar will hold General Assemblies in February and March.
As we enter into this New Year, it is only natural for us to reflect on what God has done over the previous year and consider all that was accomplished by His mighty working power. The blessing of a solid and strong partnership with the leaders of the member-countries of the APAC (Asia-Pacific) region was a precious gift the Lord has given His churches in blessing His ministry.
The missionary couple from Vietnam, Narong and Tinh, has wonderful news to share. Their work in Nakhon Phanom is steadily progressing. They have been planting the seeds of God’s love in the hearts of many and, with God’s blessing, many more will hear about our Lord Jesus.
