Hey,
My name is James,
Did you know that out of 1.4 billion people in Asia, Almost One billion of them donât know Jesus
We are in urgent need for your financial support towards raising 8,000 USD to support 321 part-time missionaries to reach 1,000 adults with the gospel of Christ, in the mainland China over the next 30 days
How it All StartedâŚ
I first visited Asia on business trip 5 years agoâŚAlmost every shop I entered I could see an idol ( god) placed conspicuously by the doorway or some other place within the premises
I finished my business, and took one week to visit nearby towns and villages away from the city and interacted with the local communities
I played with jovial and curious children, shared meals with families, and spent time with the elderly men and women
The Chinese people opened doors for me and I dined with them, one question however lingered in my mind through and through
How much would Jesus desire to come to the Chinese peoplesâ lives and make a dwelling in their hearts?
As I stood watching a Chinese man loading my heavy cargo with folk lift to a shipping container, I felt even a heavier burden to bring Jesus to Asia loading in my heart
The Assignment
God has laid a burden in my heart to;
⢠Mobilize 1 billion-Prayer hours globally for Souls harvest in Asia
⢠Reach 100,000 Asians for souls harvest annually
The work has already began. I give God all the glory
Early this year, I moved to Hong-Kong to mobilize a team of Christians working in the mainland China who are willing to volunteer in sharing the love of Christ with Children, and the local communities on part time basis as missionaries
We have 321 volunteers across mainland China majority working as English Teachers
How weâre supporting them for effective outreach
We are supporting this team on the ground through the following activities
⢠Equipping the volunteers to reach at least 100,000 Asians Annually through personalized training and coaching
⢠Developing and distributing Christian-based English Teaching Resources
⢠Co-coordinating small groups fellowships for the volunteers for encouragement
⢠Mobilizing Christian virtual prayer banking for the 1 billion prayers-hours for Asia
⢠Forging mission collaborations and coordinating fundraising efforts to meet the financial and other resource requirements for effective Christian Mission in Asia
The need
We are in urgent need of 8,000 USD for the first month of our project even as we believe for Godâs provision for the subsequent months
These funds are intended to cater for (transport and an evening snack) our current network of 321 volunteers
This great team offer at least 1 hour each on a daily basis for missionary work after their day job
We facilitate their movement by providing transport reimbursement on weekly basis and other out of pocket expenses (A snack) towards their outreach missions
How Effective is our outreaches
By Godâs grace weâre one of the most cost effective Christians missionaries in Asia with an average cost of only 8 USD per soul reached through our marketplace-approach to the mission work
We are sharing the good news with our friends and neighbors through non-conventional and ânon-confrontationalâ ways, by showing love and care towards the locals by simply being social and friendly to them
The dedication and passion of our team to win souls for Christ is commendable, and their understanding of the terrain and long experience in engaging with the locals gives them an added advantage
We honor God through our service and we affirm to the ECFA standards for financial accountability, transparency, fundraising and governance
