Asia
With the distinction as the largest continent, Asia also has the greatest cultural diversity. It is also the only continent where Christianity is not the largest religion, that contains most of the world’s unreached people groups, and is dominated by Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism. Secularism and communism are also a factor in places like Japan and China.
The spectacular growth of the Church in Asia is noteworthy, as Christians have increased from 22 million in 1900 to over 300 million in 2000. Yet, there is still much work to be done; work that will need to be accompanied by serious prayer and sacrifice. Our teams are involved in pioneering ministry, strengthening local fellowships, caring for the poor and marginalized, working with next generation leaders, and developing micro business.
