The above little boy hopes for something better by crossing his fingers. Yet, his future will remain bleak and hopeless unless someone proclaims the Gospel of the Kingdom of God to him.

…For this purpose the Son of God was manifested that He might destroy the works of the devil. (1 John 3:8)

But with 4.4 billion people and 85.4% of the world’s unevangelized people living in Asia, where will the laborers come from?

My prayer today:

Lord, the harvest is truly great, so I ask You, the Lord of the Harvest, to send out more laborers into the harvest fields of Asia. Bring the laborers from the north, south, east, and west. Call them out of the universities, colleges, tech industries, medical careers, and wherever into their divine destinies as laborers for You in Asia. (Based on Luke 10:2)

Join with me on Tuesdays to fast and pray for prisoners in Asia, according to Hebrews 13:3.

 Why Asia?

1. 4.4 billion people live in Asia.

2.. 85.4% of world’s unevangelized people live in Asia. (Unevangelized means they may have heard the gospel but have no understanding on how to respond.)

3. The world’s three largest non-Christian religions – Muslim, Hindu, and Buddhists – are based in Asia.

4. Of the 37 countries of the world that are less than 10% Christian, 32 are in Asia. Of the 14 countries, that are less than 2% Christian, 12 are in Asia.

5. 600 million people live in abject poverty in the slums of Asia.

6. 85-90% of unreached people live in Asia. (Unreached means that they have never heard the name of Jesus.) (Operation World: The Definitive Prayer Guide to Every Nation)
