		<description><![CDATA[Many men and women in rural areas in East Asia have few options for income. Ted Wong* is committed to using business and entrepreneurship to teach believers in rural areas how they can support themselves and their ministries. His vision is to provide rural farmers with a cash crop. This could provide an additional source of income as well as allow more time for ministry. Zhe Wang Hu* and Jia Liang* are two of the men Wong works with.]]></description>

He balances leading this church with raising a family and farming the rice, soybeans, yams and coffee that sustain his extended family.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When David and Regan York heard music in their living room in the middle of the night, they discovered an instrument playing on its own. The couple used traditional instruments to connect with local Southeast Asian culture and create opportunities to share their faith, but they didn’t expect spirits to inhabit their means of ministry. Once they prayed over the instrument, it stopped playing, proving God’s power in the spirit world. The local villagers, however, didn’t see it that way.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I spent days immersed in Chinese New Year symbolisms in Hong Kong, one stands out above the rest — food, or more specifically the dinner table. Sitting around the dinner table with family, for me, is a symbol of the importance of relationship — which is the point of this whole journey. Understanding my own culture has been the guide, but in the end, relationships are what matter the most.]]></description>
