This update is from Peter Kashung:
Please help us in prayer because there is anti conversion Bill in Arunachal. We need thousands to pray about Yongkong and his team. We praise God that Yongkong and the team are strong. The only method to take Gospel to this land is through one to one discipleship. Yongkong has been doing this very actively through DCI materials. He needs one digital Cemera, one Motorbike and funds for DCI materials and for training and travelling. Yongkong even cover Myanamar. Please pray much about him.
