On-Site with East Asia's Least-Reached Peoples
Our vision
By God’s grace—the development of global prayer movements for Mekong’s unreached people groups trusting God for an indigenous, biblical church movement in each of these groups, evangelizing their own peoples and reaching out in mission to others.

Our commitment
To teach you what we have learned so that you in turn can pass it on to others. 2 Timothy 2:2

Our focus area
East Asia is home to a diversity of peoples and religions. Religions - Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam and various animistic beliefs. Peoples - hundreds of different people groups.

In the greater Mekong River region, which flows from the Himalayas to the Vietnam delta, there are hundreds of people groups with an aggregate population of about 200 million people. Nearly all the people groups in this region follow an animistic lifestyle. Some groups have blended their animistic beliefs with Buddhism.

 
These peoples are some of the most hospitable people you will find anywhere in the world. They are warm, smiling, peace loving and friendly people. They open their homes to you and share their food. However, they haven’t had a chance to open their hearts to God nor share at the table with Jesus.
