Dear Partner,
Can you believe that March 2014 has arrived? Two months have gone by, and by God’s grace, so much has happened on the missions field. Thanks to your generous partnership, our Every Nation missionaries are taking the good news of the gospel to the nations, and it is both my privilege and pleasure to share with you a few updates in the nations of Hong Kong, Nepal, and Pakistan.
We are very excited about church developments in the business and shopping paradise of Hong Kong. Our Every Nation church in the downtown district of Tsim Sha Tsui has been making in-roads in this cosmopolitan Asian city, and the church has now reached full capacity! Apart from looking for a new church venue, our Hong Kong church, led by Pastor Samuel Ng, has been quite busy with campus outreach. You may read more about it later on in this newsletter.
We are also very excited to share with you the story of M, a woman missionary currently on the missions field in Pakistan. As you may know, Pakistan is a country that is extremely hostile to the gospel, and also infamous for its treatment of women. With that, it is our hope you are encouraged as you read about how M and other woman missionaries like her, are reaching out to the women of the world.
Our Every Nation video update features our missions team in Nepal, another "creative access" nation known for its hostility to the gospel. Please make sure to watch and be encouraged by this video as soon as you can, because we will take down soon, for the safety of our missionaries in the field.
What is happening in Hong Kong, Nepal, and Pakistan is possible because of God's grace and your very generous support. Thank you for your partnership with Every Nation Philippines, and may God continue to bless you as you sow into the nations.

Every Nation Hong Kong ready to expand
 The Every Nation church facility, located in the bustling downtown district of Tsim Sha Tsui, is filled to capacity! Our church is now looking to either start another service or find a bigger venue that can accommodate the main service, as well as J-Club, the kids’ church. The campus outreach at Lingnan University is doing well, too, with international and local students now attending Thursday Night L.I.F.E., the church’s weekly gathering.
Every Nation Hong Kong Pastor Sam Ng double-duties as volunteer chaplain at Lingnan University, but he also finds time to indulge himself with a local rugby team called the Tin Shui Wai Pandas (a few members of which attend Lingnan University). Apart from playing a mentoring role in the club, he also meets with its chairperson, a graduate of Lingnan University, as part of relationship building that will hopefully lead to ONE 2 ONE.
Please continue to pray for Every Nation Hong Kong and for Pastor Sam and his family as they seek God's guidance in reaching out to Hong Kong’s local and international communities.

 The East Asian nation of Pakistan is well-known for its hostility to the gospel and its treatment of women. Despite this, there are still brave women missionaries looking to engage locals and influence their lives for the glory of Christ.
In this first-ever piece on our Pakistan missionary team, read about M, a woman missionary currently on the mission field in Pakistan. As you read about her efforts, be encouraged by her bravery and faith, and know that you are playing a big role in empowering her and her teammates to reach to women Pakistanis with the good news of the gospel.

Prayer Points for Pakistan
- Ask God for new opportunities to reach out to more Pakistan campuses, workplaces, and families.
- Pray for more local students, single professionals, and families to be open to the Gospel and embrace discipleship.
- Intercede for unity, wisdom, strength, provision, safety and good health for the Pakistan missionary team.
- Believe that God will bring in national stability and peace to this nation. Pray that the plight of women in Pakistan be greatly improved, that they may be spared of the terrible treatment they face everyday.
- Ask God to provide a vehicle to the missionary team, which will greatly aid them in their daily activities and decrease their susceptibility to danger.
