Why West Asia?
In John 5:19, Jesus reveals that He works where He sees the Father moving.
In recent years, we have seen unprecedented openness among non-believers in Central Asia, many of whom are coming to Christ through dreams and visions. However, in this part of the world, there are still entire people groups who have no opportunity to hear about the life-changing love of Jesus, and places where there is no ongoing ministry presence. In this post-pandemic world, join us to share the Father’s love!

P from the majority faith shared: "I knew my sister had chosen to follow Jesus, and I wanted to persecute her."
One day, P went to confront his sister, but was surprised to see his sister covered in bright light and standing next to her in the light was a man!” P looked in amazement, and somehow P new it was Jesus in the bright light.
Instead of persecuting his sister, P exclaimed to his sister, "Jesus is here!!" His sister did not see Jesus, but that day P chose to follow Jesus.
People from the majority region are coming to faith, come and be part of their exciting faith journey!
