Asia
Why Asia?
Asia is home to some of the most beautiful geography, architecture, and cultural splendors globally. Inside the majestic borders that make up the continent lives the vast majority of devout followers of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam.
60% of the world’s population lives on this one continent, yet it is the least evangelized and has the least amount of active Christian workers. Jesus died for the whole world on this very continent, yet it is the least reached?
There is a great need in this spiritually dark landmass! The voices of deception through false religions and atheism are prevalent. What are we as the church going to do? Will you pray for Asia? Will you go and take the gospel? Will you give so others might go?
Creative Access Countries
Our world is rapidly changing, and one of the things that come with that is trying to understand how to adapt to these changes correctly. The internet is a blessing for many reasons, especially in the realm of missions. Still, it can also present unnecessary trouble for our missionaries working in creative access countries (also known as “closed countries” or “limited access countries”).
What this usually means is that traditional missionaries aren’t welcomed to those countries. Thus, to still fulfill our mission of reaching the world in our generation, our missionaries working in these regions of the world have chosen to forgo their public missionary profiles (at varying levels based on their concern) to be more strategic about their entry into these place. Once they arrive on the field, they can do the bold and dangerous work of gospel proclamation. We need to be able to get missionaries into these countries with the least amount of hurdles possible.
Would you please join us by respecting any missionaries’ wishes to remain offline? If in doubt about a specific missionary which has visited your church, feel free to contact us for any clarification.

Asia Director
My wife and I served as church-planting missionaries to China from 2010 to 2019. However, we moved to Taiwan in 2020 and believe that despite the hardships, Asia is white for the harvest.
I’d loved to talk with you about whether missions in Asia might be God’s plan for your life.
