Jesus in the Buddha Belt: Untold True Stories of a Mighty God and Messy Mission

Miraculous Journeys of Faith—and Failure

What if God was bigger than your box and had a unique role for you in his mission—even though you aren't perfect? Jesus in the Buddha Belt introduces four new friends from Myanmar whose surprising encounters with Jesus—and the real-life rollercoaster sagas that follow—show that God is bigger than we imagine and can use us despite our imperfections.

With unflinching honesty, a former Buddhist monk, a comfortable Christian, and two urban immigrants recount gut-wrenching battles with family, society, and their own misconceptions, risking everything to follow Jesus in the war-torn epicenter of Buddhism. These true stories pull back the curtain on racial tension, murder, betrayal—and the miraculous ways God is working among Buddhists despite them.

Ben Wilder’s riveting storytelling and two decades of on-the-ground insight make this an illuminating page-turner that will inform your prayers, deepen your faith, and help you share the gospel at home or abroad.
