Positioning to live within a community – Tim is a tentmaker. For prudent reasons, we cannot divulge his real name or citizenship. He did not go to another country but had to make a cross cultural leap within his own country.
Tim has had a growing burden for the majority people group in his country. In this country, it is against the law for this mainstream people group to… Read More.... A few weeks ago, a co-worker of mine who is married to a Korean Christian worker told me something interesting. She said “Korean missionaries unite around the Gospel but we bring our differences to the mission field and fight over them!”
Koreans are basically a strong militant race. They do not shun a fight. The Korean Christian population is also clearly divided into conservative Presbyterians and exuberant Charismatics.

Because Bible-schools are not preparing their students for hostile countries, it is obviously follows that the mission methods that they teach are also not suitable....
Why bible-schools in Asia are different - Many Bible-schools in Asia are disasters. They are almost whole-sale imports from other countries with the same syllabus (sometimes translated into the local language), the same lecturers that come for short-term stints (teaching with interpreters), similar entry....
Indonesia - The Christian missions viewpoint - Indonesia is largely off the missions’ radar screen of most Christians because they believe that Indonesia is a closed Muslim country. Also, many Christians think that Indonesia is a very dangerous country because of spectacular terrorist bombings. Indonesia is the 4th most populated country in the world (240 million). It is the country with the largest Muslim population....
Evangelistic camping – an exciting new way to reach Asia’s youth - Camping attracts youth. Many youth are saved in a camp environment – where they are removed from worldly influences and exposed to much preaching of the Word. Asia has many youth. Our experience has shown that it is easy to attract even youth of different religions to a youth camp run by Christians....
