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 of 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 it at home or abroad.

“Read this book to be inspired, to gain knowledge, new perspectives, and for the very joy of learning about new people and how they met Jesus. Jesus in the Buddha Belt helps me turn my eyes to heaven in gratitude and love and toward people with openness and love. It has strengthened my faith and reinforced my own experiences that we serve a faithful, loving, supernaturally powerful God who has the answer to all our problems.”
