Accountability

80% of the world’s evangelical Christians live in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Over the last 50 years, God’s church has grown exponentially in these areas.

These regions have tremendous mission sending potential to help bring the gospel to unreached peoples, but they currently send only 20% of the world’s cross-cultural missionaries!

Team Profile

Project Outcomes

The ministry funds contributed to our team make mobilization possible through the SE&nbsp;Asian region. It is these funds that allow us partner with churches and organizations to&nbsp;do the work of mobilization in person, establish national teams, respond positively to&nbsp;the mobilization requests of leaders throughout the region, translate and print resources&nbsp;all of which results in the sending of laborers to the nations!

Why this Matters

689 unreached people groups live out their daily life SE Asia along with millions&nbsp;of Christians. The potential for strategic mobilization with organizations and leaders&nbsp;collaborating together is significant. The gospel must be shared and thousands&nbsp;of laborers are needed to reach those who have never heard. Our goal is to see 25,000&nbsp;new&nbsp;missionaries mobilized and sent from SE Asia.
&nbsp;

Ministry Projects

1. Establishing a Philippine National Team ($22,000)

o Timeline - November 2024
 o Project Outcomes: 90,000 evangelical churches exist in the Philippines.
The most strategic way to mobilize the Filipino Body of Christ is to have a&nbsp;national team dedicated to mission mobilization. Our goal is register with&nbsp;the Philippine government as an organization, establish a governing&nbsp;board, and commission an initial team of 5 staff.
 o Why this Matters: The Philippines has more Christians than any other SE&nbsp;Asian nation and already has a variety of sending structures in place. The Filipino Church is ripe for mobilization and sending thousands of cross-cultural laborers!&nbsp;
 o Project Details: Funds are needed to cover the expenses of registering as&nbsp;an organization, initial operating costs, securing office space, printing of&nbsp;materials and funding the initial mobilization ministry of the staff.

2. Vietnam Mobilization Opportunities ($11,000)

o Timeline - August 2024 &ndash; February 2025
 o Project Outcomes: God has opened two significant doors of opportunity to&nbsp;serve alongside two different denominations who desire to &ldquo;mobilize, send&nbsp;and fund&rdquo; missionaries from their churches. One of these denominations&nbsp;intends to send 100+ laborers to Unreached People Groups. They have&nbsp;requested the assistance of our team to help them accomplish this.
 o Why this Matters: Thousands of UPGs are in Asia and there are millions of&nbsp;Christians. The potential for strategic mobilization with these&nbsp;denominations and leaders is significant. The gospel must be shared and&nbsp;thousands of laborers are needed to reach those who have never heard.&nbsp;This certainly aligns with our goal to see 25,000 new missionaries&nbsp;mobilized and sent from SE Asia.
 o Project Details: Funds are needed to cover the expenses of translations of&nbsp;training materials, printing costs, and to assist the churches in funding the&nbsp;gathering, meeting, and preparation of leaders and potential missionaries.

3. Myanmar Sending Structure ($7000+)

o Timeline - October 2024
 o Project Outcomes: The fruitfulness of mission mobilization in Myanmar&nbsp;has resulted in the need to create and establish a structure for more&nbsp;effective sending &ndash; basically a mission sending agency. Plans are underway&nbsp;to create and register the first sending agency in Myanmar that is not&nbsp;affiliated with a specific denomination.
o Why This Matters: As missionaries are called to go having a sending&nbsp;agency provides them with community, accountability, a means my which&nbsp;to raise funds, member care, training, etc . . .
 o Project Details: The funds will be used to establish, register, and begin the&nbsp;work of organizing a mission sending agency in Myanmar. $7000 is&nbsp;needed to begin. Any additional funds provided will be used to complete&nbsp;translation projects, fund missionaries, hire Burmese staff, continue the&nbsp;work of mobilization in the country, etc . . .

4. Arise Asia ($32,000)

o Timeline - $4000 needed by mid-September. Additional funds needed&nbsp;throughout the coming year.
 o Project Outcome: Arise Asia is a movement that desires to mobilize and&nbsp;send young professionals as missionaries to peoples and places where the&nbsp;gospel has never yet been shared. Via has been asked to provide resources, workshops and discipling to all the participants. To date there are more&nbsp;than 10 events scheduled in different countries throughout Asia including Sri Lanka, Nepal and Indonesia. This is a tremendous opportunity to connect with thousands of young people across Asia and mobilize them for&nbsp;Great Commission purposes. Learn more here: <a href="https://www.ariseasia.org">https://www.ariseasia.org</a>
 o Why This Matters: Arise Asia is well aligned with the purposes of our team&nbsp;in mobilizing to the nations. Their strategy is to connect in a conference format and we get to participate in the ongoing discipling and mobilizing of those who attend.
o Project Details: Funds contributed here will be used for the translation,&nbsp;printing and distribution of the Explore booklet for each national&nbsp;conference as well as Via staff travel to each conference and associated expenses.

5. Translation and Printing of Via Materials ($21,000)

o Timeline &ndash; Urgent as projects are waiting on funds
 o Project Outcome: Translate and complete a first run print of Via resources&nbsp;in Bahasa Indonesian, Burmese, and Vietnamese. Via resources requested&nbsp;are Explore, Parenting with A Global Vision, Big Vision Series, God&rsquo;s Heart for Muslims, The God Ask, and Welcoming the Nations.
o Why This Matters: Printed materials in local languages will far outlast the physical presence of the mobilizer. In SE Asia there is growing demand for&nbsp;Via resources from multiple languages in the region. Placing printed mission mobilization materials in the hands of churches, student ministries and mission organizations maximizes the potential of seeing a movement of missionaries being sent to the nations.
o Project Details: Funds are needed for the translation, typesetting and printing of resources.

6. Family Mobilization in SE Asia ($5500)

o Timeline &ndash; Immediate and urgent
 o Project Outcome: Missions becomes a natural choice for a person if their&nbsp;parents have discipled them in God&rsquo;s global purposes throughout their&nbsp;childhood. Our goal is see significant growth in family mobilization&nbsp;ministries throughout the region. Already we are working with nine&nbsp;leaders in nine different cities equipping them to train parents how to&nbsp;disciple their children in the Great Commission.
 o Why This Matters: Train a child when he is young and even when he is old&nbsp;he will not depart from those teaching. This is a long term strategy of&nbsp;developing missions DNA in families across Asia. We pray that this&nbsp;investment now will lead to many missionaries going to the nations in the&nbsp;years to come!
 o Project Details: Funds will be used to train leaders, conduct workshops for&nbsp;parents, and resource people with Via&rsquo;s Parenting with a Global Vision&nbsp;resource as well as with the Big Story Series for children.

7. Mission Mobilization Media ($2500)

o Timeline &ndash; October 2024
 o Project Outcome: Record, edit and distribute two mission mobilization&nbsp;videos that can be used for general audiences. The purpose is to help&nbsp;people understand God&rsquo;s heart for the nations, the state of the world and&nbsp;how people can be involved in the Great Commission through audio visual&nbsp;and social media platforms.
 o Why This Matters: AV and social media are strategic ways to reach the&nbsp;younger generation (in particular) with the importance of spreading the&nbsp;gospel to those who have never heard.
 o Project Details: Funds will be used to cover all related expenses for the&nbsp;production of media resources.

8. General Mobilization budget funds for fiscal year 2024-2025&nbsp;($28,500).

Funds are allocated for the ongoing ministry expenses of mobilization including&nbsp;addition of new staff, logistical, administrative and care costs for the SE Asia Via&nbsp;team.

Southeast Asia is home to 700 million people with an incredibly&nbsp;diverse population of Muslims, Buddhist, and Hindus who desperately need to hear the gospel. Nearly 50% of them remain unreached with&nbsp;the truth of Jesus.
 What is exciting and strategic about SE Asia is its significant mission&nbsp;sending potential with over 30 million evangelicals in the region who&nbsp;could be mobilized to spread the gospel to the Unreached around&nbsp;them. Working in partnership with indigenous churches and ministries,&nbsp;our SE Asia based team networks and collaborates to lead trainings,&nbsp;create reproducing small groups discipling believers in God&rsquo;s heart for&nbsp;the nations, and assists Christians to actively move towards those&nbsp;who remain unreached with the gospel.
