South and East Asia are represented with students from Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, and China. The majority of these students are eager and excited to experience American culture in all its forms, good and bad. Their excitement is contagious and makes them fun to be around! Many have had little or no exposure to Christianity, but are open to learning and experiencing it despite the fact that they identify as Buddhist. They rarely turn down an invitation to a home or church service. The Chinese students are especially curious about the Bible and Jesus since these subjects are taboo in their country. Pray for protection from the evil aspects of American culture. Pray that they would encounter Jesus, not just as a part of the Christian culture of America, but as something personal and real for them. Pray that many of them would read and explore the Bible for the first time.
