• #29 Myanmar: Scattered But Not Lost 15.06.2026 21min

  In this episode, Jim and Stephen focus on Myanmar — a country that has known almost no peace since independence in 1948. They explore Asialink's long-standing partnership with a church-planting ministry, which has been training and sending out pastor-missionaries across the country since 2005. Jim and Stephen discuss the very real dangers these church planters face daily — from hostility and military conscription to bombed villages and state-controlled communications — and share the story of one graduate who returned home to find his community destroyed by conflict, yet pressed on to serve a displaced congregation in a city slum.The episode also introduces Asialink's new book, Sparks of Glory, featuring stories of eight remarkable Asian believers. A pre-release copy is available at asialink.org/books with a donation of £20 or more.
