Summary
Jesus for Asia supports national Bible Workers in more than five countries.
While many of the ministries we support are crucial to the work in Asia, our Bible workers' sole source of funding comes through your direct support of JFA. Because of this, we want to give you this opportunity to learn more about these locally sourced and trained Bible Workers.

Purpose
The BIBLE WORKER PROGRAM is the heart and soul of Jesus for Asia. It is one of the most effective ways we know of to spread the Gospel and develop groups of believers that stay long-term.
Mission statement
Jesus for Asia exists for one purpose: to see as many people as possible accept eternal life before it's too late. We do this by going to the least reached section of the planet and by calling the church to re-engage its mission. In other words, we do mission and we advocate for missions. All for the sake of the joy that is set before us!
