High up in the mountains of Thailand sit isolated Hmong tribes. They number around four to five million people, but most are scattered across small villages in Southeast Asia and China. Dirt roads connect small modest homes and businesses. Chickens and dogs roam around the villages, and mothers, often with young children strapped to their backs, tend gardens and sell …
Is there anything in your ministry that you’d like prayer for?” “What is your hope for how God can move through these challenging days?” At a recent gathering of FEBC ethnic broadcasters in Thailand, these questions were asked. One broadcaster said: “We see a lot of challenges when we preach the Word of God…but although our enemies try to block …
Most of the Mon people live in Myanmar, a country just south of China, and a small minority also live in Thailand.

Yet he knew there had to be more. In his own words, he was seeking “the teaching that doesn’t lead to death.” These are people who may live their entire lives …
FEBC staff member Mehm Tun Thein gives us an up-close look at the work with the Mon people group in Southeast Asia and how this predominately Buddhist community is responding to the Gospel…Until All Have Heard.
