God at Work in Asia: A Remarkable Gathering in Singapore

Written by: Melissa Heiland - Founder and Executive Director

I’ve just returned from Singapore, and my heart is full of gratitude and awe at what the Lord has done. This trip was the culmination of a vision that began a year ago, when a small group of us gathered in Thailand in October 2024. Representatives from several Asian nations met then to pray, dream, and plan for what we hoped would become a Pan-Asian pregnancy ministry conference—a time for believers across the region to unite in serving women facing unplanned pregnancies.

We had modest expectations. Our hope was that perhaps a dozen people would feel called to join us for this first-ever gathering. But God had far greater plans. When we arrived in Singapore this October, the Lord brought together 50 participants from 14 nations across Asia—a powerful testimony to His faithfulness and the growing movement of life-affirming ministry throughout the region.

Together, we prayed, worshiped, and trained—seeking God’s heart for how we can better reach and support women in crisis pregnancies. Our mission is simple yet profound: to help mothers choose life, to protect their babies, and to share the hope of Jesus Christ with them. Throughout our time together, the presence of the Holy Spirit was tangible. Every story, every song of worship, and every shared prayer reminded us that this is God’s work—and He is moving mightily across Asia.

Personally, this conference was also deeply meaningful. I was reunited with several of our ministry directors from around Asia—some of whom I hadn’t seen in years—and I finally met others face to face for the very first time. We also saw the Lord open new doors for partnership in several countries, connecting like-minded leaders who are eager to serve together for the sake of life and the Gospel.

As I reflect on this experience, I’m overwhelmed by how God multiplies even our smallest efforts when we step out in faith. What began as a simple prayer meeting in Thailand has grown into a regional network of passionate believers, united in love and purpose.

I’d like to invite you to pray with us—pray that God would continue to open doors for ministry in Asia, strengthen the partnerships that were formed, and cause these new relationships to flourish. May He use every life touched by this movement for His glory and the expansion of His Kingdom.
