Lunar New Year is the biggest holiday in several Asian cultures. Millions of people travel back to their hometowns to be with family. As a result, believers return from large urban centers to smaller villages and towns where the Gospel has yet to be proclaimed.

Missionary Stella McMillian experienced this in action when she traveled to her friend Xin Yi’s* hometown. Her friend was not only the first believer in her family but also the first believer in her town. Xin Yi is only able to return home once a year. As she loves her family, she demonstrates how Christ changed her life.

The Cooperative Program takes the Gospel to the nations and the neighborhoods. Your financial support through the Cooperative Program allows missionaries to support local believers in reaching the unreached areas of the world with the Gospel of Christ.

Pray for McMillian and her local believing friends in their work to reach friends and family who need to know Jesus.
