Khan* in Bhutan asks for your prayer: “One of our church members was falsely accused and put in jail by a rich businessman. We prayed as a church, and he is out from jail now. Please pray that his case will be settled.” Pray for this and other persecution faced by Christians in Bhutan. Persecution here is typically at the hand of the government or local police. So false accusations can easily have long term damage on believers. // #HarvestBridge #JesusChangesEverything #Pray #LoveDoes #PersecutedChurch

“Let us love one another as God loves each of us. And where does this love begin? In your own home. How does it begin? By praying together.” ~ Mother Teresa Happy Valentines! We are so thankful for the couples we support in South Asia doing ministry, facing challenges, and raising families together. Their love for each other results in them pouring more into those around them. // #HarvestBridge #HappyValentines #ValentinesDay #MotherTeresa #LoveDoes #PowerOfPrayer

Today in a small town in Pakistan a school of about 60 celebrated International Day of Women and Girls in Science! Through one of the local missionaries you support, the teachers along with female AND male students were encouraged to support girls pursuing science. The girls were told, “Work hard in the field of science so that you can help and contribute to making the world a better place to live. Because it is sure science and innovation can bring a great change in the lives of humankind.” This Christian school is taught by Muslim and Christian teachers, with about 90% Muslim and 10% Christian children attending. The school gives girls an equal chance to be educated as boys. And Muslims and Christians learning and teaching together has been a great example to the community about respect and living peaceably together. You can support this impactful school in the link in our profile for Pakistan Children’s Ministry. $20 supports a child’s educational needs for a month, including the school’s operating costs. Meaning just $240 supports a child’s education for a year! // #HarvestBridge #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience #LikeAGirl #StrongWomen #WomenInSTEM #GirlsInSTEM #WomenInScience #GirlsInScience

Some Friday encouragement from Ruben* in India! Thank you for making this work possible through pray and support. “We thank God for His great mercy upon us to reach six new villages and share the gospel among unreached people. Some people agreed to pray for their sick people. And by the grace of God they believed and were healed. Please pray for our church planting ministry, that it will reach many new villages and build the kingdom of God. Many many thanks for your prayers and support for us to do better work for the Lord and build the kingdom of God in Rajasthan India. Your co-worker in Christ, Pastor Ruben*” // *Name changed for safety #HarvestBridge #PraiseGod #JesusChangesThings #FridayFeeling

“The heart of Harvest Bridge is coming alongside South Asian believers who have done much with little, and helping them reach their people with the Gospel most effectively. Oftentimes, the “little” is not simply little money. It’s little encouragement, little rest, little training, little supportive prayer that they’ve done much with. We strive to come alongside them in all these areas, not just financially.” Read our full January blog! ~Link in Bio~ // #HarvestBridge #JesusChangesEverything #BodyOfChrist #ThursdayThoughts

“...For decades Chara and Bakul have chosen to do the hard, thankless, and unpublicized work of loving like Jesus. Saving children from horror, sharing the Gospel, and discipling people. They've done the long-term work of entering into others’ pain on a daily basis and sharing Jesus’ love while experiencing persecution, putting themselves in danger, living in poverty, and having seasons with little or no visible results of their ministry. God absolutely gives grace. He has walked through this with them, blessed the work of their hands, and given them peace and joy unmatched. But Chara, Bakul, Nalinda, and Tanhi are not meant to walk alone. None of us are. God established the Body of Christ and the institution of the church for a reason...” Read Chara’s story in full in the link in our profile. // #HarvestBridge #JesusChangesEverything #LoveDoes

Persecution in Nepal continues to escalate. We stand with the church, and come alongside persecuted believers so they can continue to share the Gospel. Our Nepal director, Samuel*, shares this sobering news: “Recently an important official of the country invited one of my fellow pastors to his home to learn about Jesus. But when he went there he was arrested by the police on false accusation using the anti-conversion law. This is a very bad trick played by the person. It has become very dangerous for all of us Christians all over the country.” #HarvestBridge #PersecutedChurch #JesusChangesEverything #Pray
