Shimmering water
steamy jungles
and rustic huts
an amazing hidden paradise
at least
at first glance
These are the forgotten Islands
although they look like an exotic
vacation spot, there's no luxury here
the villagers will never go to a mall,
taste an ice cube, or drive a car.
 Instead, they'll
fish, bathe,
and wash dishes in the same stagnant ponds
Even worse, they'll
drink from them.
There are no schools, or medical
clinics
and the people have never been taught
how to keep clean
so there's a lot of sickness, and death. 
Life seems
hopeless
but a team of eighteen Gospel For Asia
missionaries is changing all that.
Traveling on boats from island to island,
these men are bringing the light of Chist into the darkness of these
hidden waterways
Taj, the leader of the team, is
determined to take this message of hope
despite facing persecution and
death threats
The Islanders have formed a close-knit
society
and foreigners aren't  easily accepted
but through the misionaries, God has begun
to lower social barriers.
As a result, Taj and the others have
developed personal relationships with
hundreds of villagers, allowing them to share
the gospel openly
God has answered the prayers for clean water
instead of drawing water from stagnent ponds,
fresh water now flows through
Jesus Wells
These Island inhabitants have seen the true love
that the missionaries have for them
and are eager to know more
about Jesus
In less than two years, forty-four
islands have been reached, and sixty-six
thriving Christian fellowships have been
planted
In fact, on one small island
every single villager has decided to
follow Christ.
The Lord is working 
through these missionaries in miraculous ways
Everywhere these brothers go, people are saved, even the boat drivers
Yet, there are still many islands
where the name of Jesus has never been uttered
These people are hungry to hear
about the Savior, and they need someone to tell them
As Taj and his team
rejoice in what God has done so far,
he and his team pray that more
missionaries will hear the call to go
to these hidden people.
