Northern Pacific Rim

Northern Asia is home to over 1.4 billion people and more than 400 unreached people groups. Its diverse belief systems include animism, where millions revere nature spirits under the guidance of shamans, and Buddhism, which offers no assurance of grace or hope.

Over 20 million Muslims live in Northern Asia, many resistant to the gospel due to deeply rooted cultural practices, while secularism has left much of the population, especially youth, disconnected from faith and hope.

Despite these challenges, creative ministry efforts — through education, business, and holistic outreach — offer opportunities to establish vibrant, culturally relevant communities of faith and share the transformative hope found in Christ.
