Hawaii NO SPIRITUAL AFFILIATION Missionary MomentNearly 1.4 million people live in Hawaii and 70 to 80 percent of them have no spiritual affiliation. The population is said to be so culturally diverse, everyone there is a minority.

Bong is director of evangelism and oversees the “God’s Plan for Sharing” (GPS) evangelistic outreach events. Pray these events will reap an abundant harvest of souls and that the people of the South Pacific will know Jesus as an intimate friend.

South Asia A TOOL TO TELL BIBLE STORIES Missionary MomentHenna is not specific to one class of women in South Asia—students or jobless, rich or poor. Most women enjoy having henna, a reddish-orange dye, temporarily tattooed in intricate patterns on their skin. Female IMB workers and student volunteers in South Asia are using henna as a tool to tell Bible stories to women from all walks of society. As they draw henna designs on the women’s hands, the workers tell them Bible stories that correlate with the patterns. Many of the women are excited to share the stories they hear at the henna group. Through the Cooperative Program, workers are finding new ways to spread God’s stories. The preceding "Missionary Moment" was made possible by gifts to the Southern Baptist Association Cooperative Program, which is supported by several Clay County churches who are members of the Booneville Baptist Association which consists of 25 churches in Clay and Owsley counties which are affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention and the Kentucky Baptist Convention.

FREEDOM IN CHRIST Missionary MomentFood and religion are the topics most discussed where JESSICA* studies language in Northern Africa. “The ladies there and I discuss the many differences between Islam and Christianity, and they frequently try to bring me under condemnation for the freedoms I have in Christ,” Jessica said. Freedom in Christ is a hard thing for her friends to grasp, she said. “It is hard enough for us who have grown up hearing about grace all our lives to fully appreciate what it means, but for people who have grown up living under religious law, it is very difficult to understand.” May God’s people continue to pray and give so that Jessica and others can demonstrate grace to a world in need.

East Asia STANDING FOR CHRIST Missionary MomentSouthern Baptist workers share that a new believer in East Asia was asked to join the government party. She declined because she knew that she would have to raise her fist and vow that she had no spiritual belief. An official was furious at her response and questioned her decision. She told him that she was a Christian. He angrily told her that God does not exist and that her belief was foolish superstition. She told him that she knows God is real because He answers her prayers and lives in her heart. Please continue to pray and give so that more can know that God is real and hear the message of salvation.

American Peoples TOUCHED THROUGH GENEROSITY Missionary MomentALLISON ANDERSON* was nervous as she stared at the turtle head on her plate. She had been invited to dinner by Beatriz,* a friend in the Amazon community where Allison served as a short- term IMB missionary. Even as Allison struggled to eat her meal, she was touched by the generosity of her hosts. “This family didn’t have to invite me, the foreigner, to come to their special meal,” Allison said. “In order to honor me, they wanted to give me their very best by giving me the one delicacy they had. What a humbling lesson!” Thank you for supporting our workers who are developing relationships which lead to Christ.

Central Asia EVERY ENCOUNTER MATTERS Missionary MomentEleven years ago, IMB workers in Central Asia spent one day with an immigrant family, whom they never saw again. Recently, they heard that a national believer was ministering to a particular family. They spent many hours looking at the Quran together, while the believer used Scripture to point to the truth of Christ. The father repented and believed. Then he led his family—a wife and three sons—to believe the truth. This was the same family with whom the workers had met 11 years earlier. After their brief encounter and the witness of a national believer, the family came to Christ. Every encounter matters—every prayer is heard. The preceding "Missionary Moment" was made possible by gifts to the Southern Baptist Association Cooperative Program, which is supported by several Clay County churches who are members of the Booneville Baptist Association which consists of 25 churches in Clay and Owsley counties which are affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention and the Kentucky Baptist Convention.

South Asia ANSWERED PRAYERS Missionary MomentJIM SIMS* was a fireman in Alabama before the Lord redirected his path. “I had a great life, living the American dream, and then God said, ‘I got another dream for you.’ I just couldn’t pursue the old dream anymore,” he said. Jim and his wife, MALLORY, were scared about raising their children in areas hostile to Christians, but they have learned that God is in control and knows the best plan for their family. They also witness the difficult road that many must walk in order to follow Christ. Their friend “M” faces daily persecution but persists in serving Christ. The Simses have sacrificed their personal dreams so that men like “M” may be saved.

Europe OPPORTUNITIES MADE POSSIBLE Missionary MomentJOHN and PAM* packed their bags and left Alabama to work among the immigrant population of Paris. “Since we’re older, we knew we were going to have to work hard to learn the French language,” Pam said. But the pace of language learning actually helped them with relationship building. “We began going to cultural centers and cafés to meet people and hear their opinions and beliefs firsthand, and by the time we had enough language ability to explain to them that we were Christians, they already liked us,” John said with a laugh. Now the two spend their time having coffee with people from one particular people group and answering questions they have about the New Testament—an opportunity made possible to them through the generous gifts of Southern Baptists.

American Peoples RESPONDING TO ENORMOUS NEEDS Missionary MomentWhen IMB missionary DELORES YORK visited an orphanage near Port-au-Prince, Haiti, she discovered a pathetic situation: children with swollen bellies, skinny frames and discolored hair, signs of malnutrition and anemia. Baptist Global Response—a global relief and development organization—responded with emergency funds for food. When children received the food, they were “rejoicing like it was Christmas, not for toys or candy but (for) just plain food,” said York. As news of the need spread, U.S. churches began to respond immediately. Meanwhile, Baptist workers in Haiti are building and stocking a fish pond, chicken coops and pens for goats and pigs at the orphanage to provide children with ongoing sources of protein. Fruit trees have also been planted. Praise God for the cooperative spirit of Southern Baptists.
