PENINSULAR ASIA

PENINSULAR ASIA

PenAsia is home to millions who have little or no access to the gospel. Around 150 global workers serve in the region, partnering with local Assemblies of God national churches to plant, strengthen, and mobilize churches to reach their nations. Because three of the five countries are closed to traditional missionary work, ministry often happens through NGOs, compassion initiatives, and business-as-mission efforts. Today, only 1.9% of the population identifies as Christian, and every major ethnic group is considered never-reached—making this one of the most urgent mission fields in the world.
