300 Children of persecuted pastors received Christ 300 Children of persecuted pastors received Christmas gifts in Bhutan last December. 

These children are often harassed in school due to their faith, along with their parents facing discrimination. Pastor Raj*, shared this about the project: 

“The distribution demonstrated compassion and solidarity with persecuted children, acknowledging their struggles and offering hope. The children were excited and overjoyed! Their faces lit up as they received the care packs. Wide-eyed and smiling, they explored the contents – oohing over the colorful bibles, giggling at the comic bibles and lunch box and eagerly checking out the stationeries and school supplies. 

‘My parents are daily wage workers, and we were struggling to afford stationery items,’ Selden* [a 14-year-old] shared, her voice filled with gratitude. ‘The care pack arrived as a gift through our pastor, and I’m overwhelmed by the thoughtfulness.’”

In 2025, 271 Children were rescued from situations In 2025, 271 Children were rescued from situations where they were likely to become victims of human trafficking in Bangladesh.

Harvest Bridge’s anti-human trafficking work illustrates how we operate: we come alongside trusted local NGO leaders who are already serving their communities in effective ways, without receiving external support. These leaders often launch new initiatives using financial and other resources available locally, rather than waiting for outside support. By 2016, four of our partners in Bangladesh who had a burden to help populations at risk of human trafficking were doing just this, without our direct support.

These four men and women connected with a local anti-human trafficking organization based in the capital, Dhaka. This organization trained them to recognize traffickers in areas that have many people passing through them, like train and bus stations, and taught them how to inform the police of what was happening. 

Our leaders carefully engaged with this work because they saw a need and couldn’t turn their backs to it. Anti-trafficking efforts then became an integral part of their work as a whole – even with the great personal risk they face of being targeted by traffickers for interfering with their crimes.

We’ve supported their efforts ever since. In the last five years, over 920 children and teens have been rescued, along with over 100 women! You can support their work by giving to the Bangladesh fund on our Give page - link in profile!
#WhatsHappeningInMyanmar In 2025, 16 teenagers wer #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar In 2025, 16 teenagers were helped to escape kidnapping and forced conscription by the military junta in Myanmar. So far, in 2026, 43 young adults have been helped to escape. 

Since 2024, the Myanmar military, which has had huge casualties in their civil war, has resorted to forcibly conscripting women, ages 18 to 27 and men, ages 18-35. However, the junta has, at times, lowered their age of conscription to children as young as 14. Meaning that more than one of the children in this photo would be at risk. 

Pastor Pan*, our co-country director explains, “Young people, who should be focused on education, building careers, and supporting their families, now live under constant psychological pressure under the junta-led government. Every day feels uncertain. Every sound at night, every unfamiliar presence in the neighborhood, every checkpoint on the road creates anxiety. There are also serious concerns about what happens after these arrests. Some fear that girls may be exposed to exploitation, abuse, or trafficking. Even when there is no confirmed information, the lack of transparency creates overwhelming fear.”

We help these teenagers escape to non-junta controlled areas where they can live with relatives or trusted friends without being kidnapped at random. And it costs less than $200 per teenager. To help, give to our Myanmar fund at the link in our profile.
One of our main children’s ministries is Child & F One of our main children’s ministries is Child & Family Sponsorship.

We recognize that in limited cases, well-run orphanages provide a vital last resort for true orphans. This has been especially important in Myanmar as the war continues, and more young people become orphans. However, extensive research indicates that children flourish best in families, and that orphanages should be a temporary and last resort. Children belong in families whenever safely possible, and so we seek to prioritize a family sponsorship model that uplifts entire families and communities, preventing the need for children to be institutionalized or become child laborers.

“The Commercial Farming Project is designed to promote sustainable agricultural practices, increase farm productivity, and enhance income generation. The goal is to help individuals and communities become more self-sufficient financially while encouraging long-term, eco-friendly farming methods.

We are trying our level best to commercialize and diversify farming systems by strengthening existing value chains and exploring new methods.

I feel truly blessed, as this project has been a great help in meeting the pressing financial needs of my family. It has not only provided support but also opened up more mission opportunities, allowing me to serve others more effectively.” Phuntsho*, Bhutan
In the Andaman Islands, a tailoring machine was fu In the Andaman Islands, a tailoring machine was funded by Harvest Bridge to be given to a family through the ministry of a local church. The project has shown the commitment of the church to their neighbors, and the church is growing. 

“For the tailoring project, very few customers came in the beginning. Nowadays sufficient customers are coming for stitching and getting the income which partially fulfills the need. 

After receiving the tailoring machine, the family is coming [to church] regularly and giving offerings faithfully. By seeing their sincerity, others are also coming to the church.” Pastor James*, Andaman Islands

“The Christian novelties and book supplies project provides a diverse range of Christian literature, novelties, and resources, aiming to nurture the spiritual growth of Christians in Bhutan. The objective is to attain a sustainable and self-sufficient economic status through the sale of these products. This involves purchasing and selling items such as Bibles, devotionals, study guides, inspirational literature, Christian-themed gifts, home decor items, study materials, Sunday school curriculum, leadership development resources, and Christian-themed mugs, all with a reasonable profit margin.” - Tashi*, Bhutan

(post 2 of 2) Your support made the dream of Aye (post 2 of 2) 

Your support made the dream of Aye* in Myanmar possible! Harvest Bridge was able to provide a grant for Aye to sell medicine in his village. He sent this note of thanks:

“I would like to convey my heartfelt gratitude for the grant assistance provided to me. Through your kind support and encouragement, I was able to start and successfully operate my medical store business in my village. This opportunity has significantly contributed to improving our livelihood and ministry. I sincerely thank you for your support and confidence in me.”
Economic development projects not only help provid Economic development projects not only help provide support for pastors and missionaries. These projects also provide vital services for the communities they serve. 

“I have attended and completed short term training so I am permitted to sell medicines. My plan is to sell medicines in my village where there is not any medical seller. Whenever we need a small piece of medicine, we have to go at least one hour by motorbike. So, this would be a great project for me and for my fellow villagers and this will impact the lives of my people and will have a good result for all of us.” Aye*, Myanmar
