Support Asia Bible Project
When the world came to a standstill during COVID-19, we began hosting virtual country assessment networking (v-can) sessions, bringing together missionaries (country by country) for a regular time of exhortation and need assessment.
One of the significant needs expressed by the missionaries was for local language Bibles. Many of the countries Asia are restricted access nations (RAN) and do not permit the import of Bibles and other local language literature. Local language Bibles are hard to source and can be quite costly.
Our prayer and desire is to get a copy of the word of God through Ministry Asia into every home in Asia.
Current Phase
Our desire in this Phase is that Ministry Asia will be able to print or procure 1.4 million local language Bibles and make them available to Missionaries and National Pastors for distribution in Asia and the regions beyond.
The cost of a Bible ranges from US$3.50 to US$11 in counties like Indonesia. The average cost of a Bible is US$ 5.00
We are thankful to the Lord that to-date we have been able to distribute 202,000 Bibles in 14 countries and 37 languages.
Moving Forward
Our desire is to expand our support across FOUR areas.
First, to explore partnerships that can help us provide access to local language Bibles Online and via through Digital Channels.
Second, to explore the setting up of jointly owned and operated printing ventures in some countries to support distribution needs.
Third, to explore translation needs and work with partners that specialise in this area to support access to local language Bibles via Digital and Print channels
Forth, to develop local language Children’s Bibles to help reach the next generation.
Support Asian Missionaries
Help Asian church-planting independent Baptist missionaries reach the field.
God is raising up labourers from Asia, to go into Asia and the regions beyond. The urgency of the task. Help in raising support for 63 Asian missionaries so they can get to the field faster.
Consider supporting Asian missionaries.
Support National Pastors
Help independent Baptist national pastors who are ministering in Asia.
There are 2,300 local languages spoken in Asia. It’s going to take an army of national pastors to go into every village, tribal areas and cities in every country. We currently support 102 national pastors. The need is far greater, encompassing training, resources, and finances.
Excited to share the news of our partnership with Barnabas 1040 and Dwight Tomlinson! Ministry Asia and Barnabas 1040 are both dedicated to supporting national pastors and church plants in Asia and the 10/40 region.
We pray that this collaboration will expand our efforts in training and developing Asian missionaries, national pastors, and laborers. Together, we’ll work to bring the Gospel to villages, tribal areas, and cities across this region.
Consider supporting national pastors.
Support In-Country Training & Resources
Help to train, encourage, and equip ministry leaders in Asia.
Majority of ministry workers in Asia are first-or second-generation Christians. There is a significant need for continuous training. We are getting started to support this need through in-person and on-platform training.
Consider supporting in-country conferences & training of nationals.
Need for local language resources to support discipleship, life-stage ministries and Bible College training. Our desire is to source, translate and create a repository accessible to all.
Be A Prayer Partner
Even though the needs of the region are significant and overwhelming, we know that nothing is impossible with our God.
