As the Son was sent to dwell among us to reveal the Father (Jn 1:1-18, Jn 17), we have been sent to live and work among people in a region in Asia to reveal the Father. We are bi-vocational and we live and work, as teachers, in a creative access country. Our goal is to "be flesh" in our region and to participate in what Father is doing in our city, in nearby small towns, in our classrooms, and in the local groups (brothers/sisters).
As teachers, we meet students from various parts of the region where there is limited access to the news. Just like the Samaritan woman who met the Son at the well and brought the news back to her hometown (Jn 4), we hope that Father, through us and other brothers and sisters, will reveal himself to students who can bring the news back to their hometowns and call many to repent and put their faith in Him.
We also work closely with local groups (brothers / sisters) and partner with these groups to develop and grow leaders. This includes:
Leadership Development - we help locals to study and live out the word; we mentor leaders/shepherds to teach and share the news in our community (Ezra 7:10); we mentor leaders who (hopefully) will mentor other leaders
Discipleship – we share the news with people and make disciples who (hopefully) will make other disciples (Ma 28:18-20).
Outreach activities - we supporting local partners in various outreach activities
We mentor/disciple locals because we believe in the long term, locals can "be flesh" in their own communities, disciple others using their own language/dialects among their own people, mentor/train shepherds/leaders in their communities, and hopefully, also be "sent" to other communities.
There are many challenges in a creative access country. Pray that ordinary brothers and sisters can speak boldly for Him (Acts 4). Also, pray for brothers and sisters (and us) to stand firm and persevere when facing challenges from those who oppose Father (Heb 12:2, Rev 14:12).
Thank you for reading about Father's work in Asia. We invite you to participate in what Father is doing in our city, in our classrooms, in our groups with local brothers and sisters through prayer (prayer for outreach, discipleship, mentoring, leadership development, etc.) and/or through financial contribution to Father's work. Again, thank you.
