AsiaLink support projects across Asia
AsiaLink has worked
hard to develop partners across Asia who
lead critically important, well
monitored and effective ministries.
Select a country or region from the list
below (or using the interactive map on
the right) for more information on how
you or your group can be involved in
creating change among some of the most
unreached peoples on earth.
Country backgrounds
are also available on these pages.
These will broaden understanding of the
context for ministries.

Also we have two special projects which we invite you to support - The Asia Workers Fund (see below) and Tsunami Projects (see right)
Asian
Workers' Fund
What: Partnering with pioneer Asian
Evangelists where financial constraints are seriously
limiting outreach.
Why: Asian churches give their tithes and
offerings. Many are committed to pushing back the frontiers
of the Church into communities and people groups where there
is no serious witness. And there is no real shortage of
volunteers for the task. However, the economy of many places
like rural Nepal, Kashmir or Burma is so poor that here is
little or nothing left for “big” expenses such as sending an
evangelist or a missionary to an unreached area. In other
cases, the church may have enough just to send the worker to
the field, but is unable to maintain them once they are
there.
In China, some house church evangelists have even sold their
own blood at the hospital, receiving just a few pence as
payment. They then buy a few meals with this money, giving
them enough strength to continue to preach the Gospel for
another week or two. Some have fainted from hunger. These
servants of the Lord have given their whole lives to the
Gospel.
Target Peoples: This is an Asia-wide
project. One group where excellent ministry is taking place
is the 47,000 Monpa in Bhutan - a collection of six
different groups, each speaking their own dialect. They
originally came from Tibet . In fact, a similar number
(about 40,000) of Monpas still live inside China today. It
is estimated that the number of Monpa believers can be
counted on one hand. The Asian Workers Fund is helping Naga
missionaries to serve among the Monpa - reaching out to some
of the most neglected people in the world.
Cost: Support is
controlled by local indigenous leadership
and limited in amount and duration.
The Asian Workers' Fund assists many
of those workers who are doing strategic
work in Asia. Please pray about whether
you, your family, home fellowship
or church could help support one or
more of these workers with £25 per
month each. 100% of your gifts go
to the workers in need.
Prayer: For daily courage where there is
strong opposition.
