  Equipping, mobilizing, and developing the local church for gospel advancement among the nations.

Dear Friends and Partners,

I recently returned from an incredible seven-day trip to Southeast Asia, where I had the privilege of spending time in two of the largest cities in the region.

During my visit, I met with underground church leaders, visited one of their churches, and spent three days training 55 pastors from the Hmong, Dao, and Kinh people groups.

Throughout our time together, we focused on understanding the spiritual needs of communities and people who have little or no access to the Gospel. We mapped out those needs, identified opportunities, and prayerfully considered what it would take to see churches strengthened and new communities reached.

At the conclusion of our training, each pastor identified three significant steps they would commit to taking over the next four years to advance the Gospel in their region.

What happened next was incredibly encouraging.
