He isn't likely to write to you directly. But we do get reports on what the missionaries are doing and send them to sponsors. But we discourage correspondence between sponsor and child because of the added expense. More than 800 in India alone, with a combined total of 40,000 missionaries. Some closed Muslim lands such as Afghanistan, Turkey and Saudi Arabia still have no indigenous evangelistic missions.
Most Communist countries place severe restrictions on missionary activities among their people.
But God is raising up active evangelistic groups everywhere else. No churches existed in Nepal 40 years ago, but Prem Pradhan found Christ while away from home and went back to start them. Former prisoners of the Communists reach those from mainland China. Some who have come to Christ out of Islam help win Muslims, including workers from Iran and Turkey. Mission headquarters also serves as a training base to prepare new believers for Christian witness when they return to their homelands.
