Equipping Asian Christians
for life-changing mission in Asia
 Christianity is growing rapidly in Asia. There are 352 million Christians in Asia. That’s 8.5 per cent of the Asian population. With 3.8 billion non-Christians (81 per cent of the world’s non-Christians), Asia remains by far the world’s largest mission field.
The good news is that God is raising up a new generation of Asian Christians who are eager to share Jesus and see lives changed. China is now the world’s largest mission-sending country with 100,000 missionaries. India is sending 82,950 people and South Korea has 19,950 missionaries. The Asian mission movement is the largest mission movement in the 21st century.
Despite this amazing growth, mission training in Asia is a huge need. There are as few as 15 specialist cross-cultural mission training institutions in Asia. The result is that Asian churches sometimes send missionaries without appropriate intercultural mission training. This in turn makes them less effective than they could be.
AsiaCMS will help meet this critical need through high quality mission training via centres across Asia. Here are a few examples of how this is already happening:
- Mission Korea (with over 10,000 young people) requested AsiaCMS to provide mission training from Kuala Lumpur, home to the new AsiaCMS office.
- In Malaysia and Singapore AsiaCMS has been invited to provide theological and missiological training to churches.
- A number of mission leaders in Pakistan and India are already linked to AsiaCMS. Through them, mission movements and networks across South Asia (Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan and Sri Lanka) are supported with training and capacity building.
- AsiaCMS has been requested by a network of house churches in China to provide training to their missionaries.
