When he did go to school, he got into fights with the other children — and sometimes fought with his own friends! “I didn’t listen to my parents or teachers,” he recalls, “I wasn’t willing to help out at home or study in school.”

Sein and his family live in an Asian limited access nation on the Open Doors’ World Watch List for persecution of Christians. Buddhism is considered the only true religion there, and those who choose Jesus are often at risk of ostracism and outright violence.

Local believers are still dedicated to reaching the next generation, and we’re dedicated to helping them do it. Someone at the local church connected with Sein. He began attending a local Bible Club, where he learned about Jesus through God’s Big Story and the Book of Hope.

“Through the Club, I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior and Lord,” Sein says today. “Now, I am listening to my teachers and my parents and I am helping my parents work in the way that I can. My behavior changed, instead of fighting with my friends, I made more and more.”

Praise God! 

We believe, just like Sein, every child and youth deserves to know the good news of the Gospel story. 

There are thousands more like Sein, struggling children and youth who need Good News. It only costs only $1 to share the Gospel with three children and youth. With $1, you can change three lives forever. Will you join me today in reaching the next generation with God’s Good News?
