MISSIONS AREA: Hawaii
In the Asian Pacific Rim, most people do not know about Jesus. Mr. and Mrs. Luo tell others about Jesus, encourage pastors who feel lonely, and help their friends know how to go out and tell others about Jesus.
Sometimes rules in the city make going to church difficult. People are not allowed to meet in church buildings, so they meet at one another’s homes instead. Because of this, the people who worship God are good friends with one another and are bold when they tell others about Jesus.
