- Supported Worker: Bobby & Julie in Central Asia
- Details: After not being able to connect for some time, Bobby talked with his friend, David, in China, who was recently baptized. Things are hard there economically. Pray for David and the persecuted church in China, that the believers would be bold and courageous to share and love without fear. Pray for God’s favor on them. Pray for Bobby and Julie as they resume Russian language classes. Republic of China, Taiwan, (Asia). Population: 23,950,214 Believers: 2.8%. Taiwan remains a stronghold of Buddhism and Taiwanese folk religion. Over 90% of Taiwanese follow some combination of Buddhism, Confucianism, Daoism, and traditional religions. Buddhism now grows strongly among educated professionals. Most traditional folk religions have many gods, and people pay offerings to ghosts or seek advice from the spirit world. Taiwan remains the only major Han Chinese population in the world without a significant spiritual breakthrough. Pray that this will change. From Operation World DVD-ROM 2010 and www.operationworld.org
