Meet Sophea

Sophea - Young woman in Southeast Asia who has never heard about Jesus
Photo: Young woman in Southeast Asia (name changed for security)

99.9% of the local region hasn't heard about Jesus

This staggering statistic doesn't represent rejection of the gospel—it represents a devastating lack of access.

Entire communities have lived generation after generation without ever hearing that God loves them personally. Without knowing that Jesus died specifically for their sins. Without experiencing the freedom of forgiveness or the joy of direct relationship with their Creator.

They're not in spiritual darkness by choice. They're in darkness because no one has brought them the light.

All real names referenced in this appeal have been changed to ensure privacy and protect the identities of the individuals and communities involved.

You can help. You can make sure Sophea hears about Jesus.

I didn't know that God loved me. I didn't know I could talk to Him without being afraid or that Jesus died for me.
— Sophea

Today, because of people like you, Sophea's life has changed completely. Your kindness and giving help reach people in remote places who have never heard about Jesus.

Hi everyone, my name's Joyce and I have a question for you. Who's excited about Christmas? I bet a lot of you are.

0:10

Christmas is such a wonderful time where we get to spend time with family, open gifts, eat lots of yummy food, and celebrate the birth of Jesus.

0:21

But did you know for a lot of kids around the world, they've never celebrated Christmas before? Not because they don't want to, but because they've never heard about Jesus and what he did for us.

0:35

Asia is a beautiful continent full of lovely people and amazing food. But there are children who have never heard about the story of the gospel, never heard that Jesus came and died for us on the cross, and have never learned the true meaning of Christmas.

0:54

There are people called missionaries, men and women who have chosen to go into these places and share the love of Jesus. They work really hard to spread the gospel and the hope that Jesus brings us. But they need our help.

1:10

That's why at Fire and Rain, we've created a Christmas catalogue to show you different ways that you can give the gift of the gospel and share the hope of Jesus with kids and families all around Asia.

1:27

In the catalogue are ways that you can help. One way is by giving a child their very first Bible, a food package for a family, or helping local pastors and missionaries share the love of Jesus with their community.

1:43

Every gift, big or small, helps share the love of Jesus and show people the true meaning of Christmas.

1:51

With your parent or guardian, you can go to www.fireandrain.international to see our Christmas catalogue.

2:00

But guess what? Even if you can't give, you can pray. You can pray that kids will learn who Jesus is. You can pray that churches will grow. And you can pray that people will be able to celebrate their very first Christmas.

2:17

You can make a difference right where you are. There are people in our communities, in our schools, and in our neighbourhoods who need to learn who Jesus is because everyone needs to know the love of Jesus, no matter if they live in Asia, Australia, or anywhere in the world.

2:36

So this Christmas, let's remember we can give, we can pray, and we can share Jesus' love. And let's together give the gift of the gospel.

Parent's Guide: How to Talk to Your Children

Use these conversation starters and storytelling prompts based on Joyce's message to help your children understand missions and the gospel.

1

Start with What They Know

Discussion Question: "What do you love most about Christmas?"

Bridge to Gospel: Explain that Christmas celebrates Jesus' birthday, and that's the best gift of all. Some children have never heard this story.

Key Point: Help them understand that not everyone knows about Jesus yet.

2

Introduce the Concept of Missions

Simple Explanation: "Missionaries are like Jesus' helpers who travel to tell people about God's love."

Real Example: "Remember Joyce in the video? She helps people in Asia learn about Jesus for the very first time."

Key Point: Missionaries are ordinary people doing extraordinary work for God.

3

Explain What "Unreached" Means

Age-Appropriate Language: "Some children have never heard the name 'Jesus' before. Not even once!"

Help Them Visualise: "Imagine if you had never heard about Christmas or didn't have a Bible at home."

Key Point: Many people haven't rejected Jesus—they simply haven't heard about Him.

4

Show Them How to Help

Three Ways Kids Can Participate:

  • Give: "You can use your pocket money to send a Bible to a child"
  • Pray: "You can pray for children in Asia every day"
  • Tell: "You can share Jesus with friends at school"

Key Point: Even children can make a real difference in God's kingdom.

5

Connect It to Their World

Local Application: "There are people right here in Australia who don't know Jesus either."

Practical Challenge: "Can you think of someone at school who might not know about Jesus?"

Key Point: Missions isn't just overseas—it's everywhere, including your neighbourhood.

6

Make It Personal and Hopeful

Encourage Empathy: "How would you feel if you had never heard that Jesus loves you?"

Celebrate Impact: "Because of people like you who give and pray, children are hearing about Jesus for the first time!"

Key Point: Your family's involvement changes real lives and eternal destinies.
