Despite persecution, the Church is growing in Asia, and workers are needed to disciple national church leaders and new believers. Here are a few opportunities. Read how you can plug into what God is doing among the people of Asia.
Southeast Asia
Disciple church leaders
While the faith of those believers in a country where the gospel cannot be preached openly is often strong, they do not often grow up in Sunday school learning Bible stories and memorizing scripture. There is a huge need for discipleship and teaching to help these new believers and future national church leaders grow in their knowledge of God’s Word and learn how to study the Bible on their own. Terms of service range from three months to five years.
Thailand
Work with Thai youth
In the town of Roi Et, in the north of Thailand, there is a ministry among Thai Youth through teaching ESL and building relationships. Based in one of the poorest regions of Thailand, the ministry seeks to introduce Christ in intelligible ways, to help people survive barren living conditions, to widen their perspective, help them realize their identity in Christ and know peace through Him, and to find contentment and meaning in helping others. Come here to study the Thai culture and introduce Christ among the poor. Terms of service range from three months to five years.
Kazakhstan
Youth ministry
Safe places are hard to find in Kazakhstan. The Mission Society established a place for students to gather after school where they would be safe from dangerous influences and free to foster genuine community. In addition, a feeding program is administered to supplement the meager diet of impoverished local children. Finally, substance abuse recovery groups meet to address the pressures of addiction. Come and build relationships with the students while serving in each of these areas. Terms of service range from one to five years.
Church leadership training
Called to disciple and train the next generation of leaders? Come assist the local church and those planting churches by helping conduct seminars and conferences. Quality, biblically-based training is a real need in Kazakhstan. Applicants should have pastoral experience or seminary-level training, as this role requires a special visa. Terms of service range from one to five years.
