30 Stories from Taiwan's Working Class
Dispite its modern, high-tech cities and a veneer of Western influence, Taiwan is a deeply traditional society. Its people are steeped in idol worship, live in fear of the spirit world and are highly superstitious. The gospel has made little impact in their world. This is particularly true of the working-class majority of whom less than 0.5 percent know Jesus Christ as Lord.

This guide will introduce you to the stories of working-class Taiwanese people, their struggles and fears. It will help you to know how to pray for them so that the light of the gospel will break forth into the darkness of their lives.

A Secret Hope
Neighboring villages considered the remote village of Taguangu Philippines trash. Its reputation was well-deserved. Taguangu was little more than a den of loafers brawlers drunkards gamblers and thieves.

Desperate for change three Manobo believers asked God to send a missionary to Taguangu. At that very time God called Ria Zebua from the tiny island of Nias in Indonesia to take the gospel of salvation to the Manobo people. But to which village should Ria go?

A Secret Hope tells how God directed her and a team of Filipino missionaries to the Manobo of Taguangu - that lair of crooks and ruffians. There they saw God do the impossible again and again.

Grasping Heaven

Grasping Heaven is the story of a young lady doctor from Denver — Dr Tami Fisk. Her journey led her to do pioneer work among the Yi minority in the Great Cold Mountains of West China. After three years her promising time in China was cut short as she was diagnosed with malignant melanoma. The ensuing story is her final journey that ultimately led to her death. A story of faith, courage and a remarkable sense of humor.

Grasping Heaven also reveals the striking parallels of Dr. Fisk and the life of Dr. Broomhall, who forty years ago was the first to work among the Yi. His time was cut short due to the communist take over. After three years he had to leave the country. For a glimpse into the thrilling story of Dr. Broomhall's work you will want to read Point Me to the Skies by R. Ronald Clements (an OMF Book).

Killing Fields, Living Fields
By Don Cormack

The heart-wrenching story of the Cambodian church, told by a man who spent 20 years among the Cambodian people.

Christian Book of the year 1998

An unfinished portrait of the Cambodian Church - the Church that would not die. "As I read this, I paused every few minutes and sobbed in anger. Amid this great tragedy, the extraordinary power of faith, hope, and love manifests itself - in the lives of a few ordinary Christians. They are my heroes. How I wish all Khmer Rouge leaders would read this book, weep in repentance, and find forgiveness in the Lord Jesus Christ." - Dr Sorpong Peou, a survivor of the killing fields.

The Cambodian Church was first planted among the rice farmers of North-West Cambodia in the mid-1920s. Growth was slow and painful. Then fifty years of nearly fruitless toil culminated in the incredible debade of the 1970s, when joyous spiritual awakening was juxtaposed with indescribable devastation. Communist rule forced the massively depleted Church underground in Cambodia, drove it across into Thailand`s crowded camps, and scattered it across six continents. At that time almost all the mature leadership perished under the Khmer Rouge.

The camps are now closed; the Church is free, and the time is ripe for growth and development. Killing Fields, Living Fields tells this complex story through the lives and testimonies of a handful of strategic Christians. Don Cormack, who has himself spent over 20 years among the Cambodian people, adds the background of Cambodian life, history and culture.

Smoking the Mango Trees
By Martin Haworth

One day sitting on our balcony in the Philippines with Buhid friends, I happened to remark that since it was mango season, why were there so few mangoes on a large tree that grew near the house. ‘It hasn’t been worked!’ said an old man with a staccato laugh. ‘What do you mean by "working" a tree?’ I asked him. ‘You see,’ the old man explained, ‘from the time the new fruit appears on the tree, we gather dry leaves under the tree and make a bonfire. All the grubs that are feeding on the tree and on its fruit either drop off because of the choking smoke.’ ‘And how often do you have to do that?’ ‘Every day until the fruit is ready for picking!’

Smoking the Mango Trees is about a church. You probably know one just like it: established, big and branching out. Sure, the Christian community was well established, and the Bible was preached every week. But what happened once Sunday was over? The Bible remained in the pulpit and the weekly distraction that was church was forgotten in the daily routine.

Martin Haworth shows how a church is ‘worked’ through prayer and the move of the Holy Spirit. Haworth’s entrancing narrative style, coupled with careful teaching on developing a strong church, gives Smoking the Mango Trees a parable-like quality, which is delightful to read and an encouragement to our own church experience.

Today the Uyghurs are one of the largest minority nationalities in the People's Republic of China. More than eight million Uyghurs live in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in northwest China. Uyghurs are classified as Turkic Muslims. "Uyghur" means "united" or "allied," because the nation is a union of historic clans and tribes, yet they are not united politically. It is a region of tension. Your prayers can lead Uyghurs to know Jesus Christ, the King of glory.
