Engaging the Edges of Lostness

Offer spiritual development and training to believers and cross-cultural workers focused on making disciples among the Asian Pacific Rim islands.

Discipleship is vitally necessary when new believers come to faith out of the predominant religion in a particular part of the Asian Pacific Rim region. A team of long-term workers there recognizes that a primary deficiency in the life of the traditional church is ongoing, fruitful discipleship. Over the years, they have seen a significant number of people come to faith in Christ, but those that show the fruit from their faith through daily allegiance to Christ are few and far between. 

Your gift to Engaging the Edges of Lostness will provide the funds needed to train believers who need more intensive discipleship. One training will focus on heart issues in our lives and the lives of others. Another will cast God’s vision for a healthy church and each believer’s role in evangelism, discipleship and church planting. Finally, your gift will enable the team to offer an annual prayer retreat for cross-cultural workers throughout the islands as a means of spiritual renewal and refocusing on their call.

The team hosting these events recognizes that special times for intensive discipleship and spiritual renewal are rare. Your partnership will provide these special times of growth and refreshment to local believers and Christian workers. Prayerfully consider a gift to Engaging the Edges of Lostness to pour new life into believers so that they will stay the course and, in God’s time, reap a harvest of souls for the kingdom of God.

Location

Asian Pacific Rim Peoples

From the skyscrapers of Hong Kong and vast plains of Mongolia to smoky rainforests hiding winding rivers edged by golden sands, the natural beauty and long history of these Asia-Pacific Rim countries testify to God’s creative hand. This vast region houses four of the most populous global cities, as well as the country with the world's largest nominal population of Muslims.

Spirituality swirls through cities and countryside like the smoke from temple incense sticks. Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus, animists, Daoists and ancestor worshipers live here, comprising 851 unreached people groups who have never heard that freedom is found in Christ. Pray for divine appointments for Christian workers to share that Jesus is the way to peace with God and eternal life. Ask God to glorify His name among the peoples of the Asian Pacific Rim Peoples affinity.
