This week Asian Access will be making a significant announcement and we want you, our friends, to be the first to know.
February 3 (2.3.23) is the day we have targeted to share the news of the ministry's expansion which is also driving the moment for a new name for the organization. I think you'll agree it's a wonderful connection to the past and a bridge to the next era of ministry to which we're called. Stay tuned for this exciting news!
Anticipating this new era of ministry, we are encouraged by ongoing developments. The pandemic and economy have slowed us down, nevertheless, we see the Lord’s fingerprints as we venture beyond!
Fresh Things on the Horizon
God is doing fresh things in Japan as leaders prepare for the Japan Congress on Evangelism. Joshua Hari, who serves on our Ministry Leadership Team (pictured here) as well as the National Director of Japan is very encouraged about this gathering and the chance to cast vision for church multiplication and reaching 2% (doubling) of the population.
Also in the picture is Thilini K. who is eager to see our Young Professionals' cohorts growing. They now hope to launch in a few more countries.
It’s neat to work with this team as we have a mix of fresh voices, younger, and more diverse than at any time during my tenure of leadership. We talked about new developments in Central Asia and the Middle East as well as North Africa. We also shared about our initiatives serving the Persecuted Church which you may know has been an increasing challenge the last several years.
New Name Coming Soon
So, keep your eyes peeled… Soon we’ll be announcing our new name! And, we’ll keep you updated on all these new developments.
The Lord is stirring in new ways and we could use your prayers in these tumultuous times. Whether it’s the economy or wars and persecution, our world is facing challenges every which way we look. It’s a season where our focus on going deep with God is our only source of hope and his provision and guidance are what truly accelerate mission.
