March 2025: New Connections in the 10/40 Window

God’s Great Commission leaves no room for stagnation. Each year, the unreached world grows in staggering numbers—and we, the church, must meet the occasion by increased prayer, funding, and action. That’s why we constantly ask God to show us what native workers to sponsor next. In this letter, we share the stories of two among many leaders we’ve partnered with over the last two years. Please pray for God to use them to transform Asia’s spiritual destiny!
Meet Our Newest Missionary: Thai Pastor Samboon
We want to introduce you to Pastor Samboon, our newest native partner. Samboon, 56, has served the Lord since 2002 as an evangelist and church planter. He steadily plowed with his denomination for almost two decades—but in 2020, Samboon experienced a biblical baptism in the Holy Spirit, and soon was ousted for walking in the spiritual gifts outlined in 1 Corinthians 12.
Hungry for continued discipleship and teamwork, Samboon reached out to our partner, David S., and joined his association, FTS. Since then, God has used Samboon to transform countless unreached lives in Thailand. He’s planted twelve churches and is currently proclaiming Jesus’s message of new life in four new villages.
When David told us Samboon’s story, we knew the Holy Spirit was directing us to support him monthly. Thailand’s needs are desperate and urgent. Less than 1% of Thailand’s 71 million have experienced the beautiful freedom Jesus provides. The majority of them—61 million—live in unreached people groups and may never hear the gospel in their lifetime. Every year, about half a million Thais die without hearing Jesus’s message of salvation. This is a stark reality we cannot ignore!
Thailand’s Buddhist millions urgently need Jesus’s hope of salvation—and God’s grace and leadership compel us to proclaim that good news to every last unreached soul. Please join us in praying for Pastor Samboon, his family, leadership team, and disciples. May God move mightily in those four villages—recently unreached but now flowing with God’s life and redemption.

Discipling Cambodian Youth to Christ: Pastor Narin
The last decade has opened a powerful window of spiritual awakening and harvest for unreached Cambodia—especially among the youth. Our partner, Pastor Narin, devotes much of his ministry to winning and discipling that next generation of Cambodian leaders through public school outreaches and a student dorm ministry. While living in the dorms away from their home villages, the students receive daily practical and spiritual ministry, and many finally receive Jesus Christ, learning to thrive as obedient disciples.
Recently, Pastor Narin participated in a large outreach at a Cambodian military academy in Phnom Penh. He and others shared God’s hope with 1,000 people at this clinic, offering Jesus’s good news to every student and teacher. Pastor Narin wrote of this event: “Each attendee received a free pair of eyeglasses. As part of the event, everyone read a gospel booklet to test their eyesight. Praise the Lord! Many people responded to the gospel message and accepted the love and salvation of Jesus Christ.”
Message Ministries has served as the mission support agency for Pastor Narin and his organization, Seek and Save Poor Children, for a little over a year. Please pray for God’s work through Narin’s ministry!
The Harvest is Great—Together, We’re the Workers
Jesus said, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few” (Matthew 9:36 ESV). The harvest is waiting—will you join us in the work of prayer? As we often say, every soul should get to hear Jesus’s good news—and no one should be left behind. Thanks so much, supporters, for choosing us as your partner in God’s Great Commission. Together, we’re inching towards a reached world!
