Asian churches are growing in number and depth across the Southern Baptist Convention, and our partnership is essential to fulfilling the Revelation 7:9 vision. Burmese, Cambodian, Chinese, Filipino, Hmong, Japanese, Korean, Laotian, and Vietnamese congregations represent the Asian faces of the SBC, and many are active partners in IMB’s work of taking the gospel to the nations.
Together, we are taking the good news of Jesus to every corner of the earth.
