An
indigenous missionary teaches the Bible to a small group in a
predominantly Hindu area of northeast India, where Buddhism also is
widely practiced. The indigenous ministry to which he belongs
concentrates on evangelism to unreached peoples in difficult-to-reach
villages in a tri-state area that includes border areas with Burma,
China and Bangladesh. “Our missionaries say, time and again, that if we
had a little bit of extra funding, we could use some to invite people to
dinner, or to have a lunch after church service; many Hindus would
come,” the ministry director said. The ministry seeks assistance to help
support its missionaries, including a former Buddhist monk in Burma
(Myanmar) who embraced Christianity earlier this year. “After his
conversion, this man has been cast out from his village, and our
missionary has been looking after him,” the director said. “He has been
knocking on our door asking if we could support the monk as a
missionary, as he is very committed to Christ.” The former Buddhist monk
and other indigenous missionaries require $70 to $100 a month.
