Reaching Initiative
Asia is home to over 300 million university students—78% of whom study in East Asia. Many come from countries where the Gospel is rarely heard. As they step onto campuses away from home, they enter a season of openness, curiosity, and soul-searching—a pivotal moment where God is moving powerfully.
Through your support, lives like Kenny’s have been transformed with hope and faith.. Raised in a devout Buddhist household, he was no stranger to religious devotion—but a sudden health crisis brought him to despair. After losing sight in one eye and facing the risk of total blindness, Kenny met a global worker through a campus ministry event. What began as a simple act of friendship grew into regular visits and meaningful conversations about Jesus. Though Kenny didn’t regain his sight, he encountered something far greater: peace. He surrendered his life to Christ and now walks in faith with renewed hope and purpose.
Stories like Kenny’s are multiplying. In 2025, five key university ministries reached thousands of students across East Asia—in Thailand, Cambodia, the Philippines, Malaysia, and another East Asian country. These ministries provided mentorship, community, and a safe place to explore faith, giving students opportunities to encounter Jesus in a meaningful and lasting way.
The impact is clear: students are coming to know Jesus, lives are being transformed, and God’s kingdom is advancing among the next generation of leaders.
