Today, the good news of Jesus Christ flows not from one centre outward, but from everywhere, to everywhere. The era when mission was primarily a Western enterprise exported from Europe or North America is well behind us. Today, many cross-cultural missionaries come from the Global South.

Billions of people in East and Southeast Asia have never heard the good news of Jesus.

So how will they hear it?

It might be through a post on Facebook. Or from a colleague at work. A teammate in their sports club, or even their friend in the local litter picking group.

In Ways to Pray for East Asia, discover inspiring stories of how God is at work today through all these ways and more. Find fuel for your prayers and practical suggestions for how you can help people meet Jesus where you are, too.

Congratulations Jenny! What an honour to attend your commissioning on Sunday!

We pray for the continued flourishing of such partnerships with local churches to send workers to the field.

On Sunday we had the privilege of commissioning Jenny as she steps into mission in Taiwan.

From serving our preschoolers at Greenlane to investing in the next generation there, Jenny is responding to the plentiful harvest with an expectant yes — committing her life to seeing children become disciples of Jesus, particularly among working-class communities where the gospel is least accessible.

We’re standing behind her — in prayer, in partnership, and in faith.

This is what multiplying mission looks like.

Join us online for a three-part webinar series designed to equip mission leaders, pastors and ministry teams to deepen understanding, strengthen relationships and foster unity across East Asian ministry contexts. Our presenter will be Jolene Kinser, who brings many years of cross-cultural ministry experience, including more than two decades working in China. Now based in southern California, she serves as a global Chinese peacemaking ministry developer, educator and specialist with the South Pacific Alliance District of The Christian and Missionary Alliance.

This webinar series is for mission leaders and teams navigating East Asian cultural and generational differences that can often lead to misunderstanding or conflict. Using a biblical peacemaking framework, participants will be equipped to build peace, trust and reconciliation in relationships. The content is also highly relevant for anyone involved in East Asian cross-cultural ministry, whether in a local church or serving overseas.
