Asians for Asia — A New Missions Moment

For more than twenty years, Word of Life has carried a deep love and calling for Vietnam and the nations of Southeast Asia. When our church in Vietnam was first planted, we did not fully know how God would lead us or how wide the impact could grow. But we prayed, we worked, we trained leaders, and we kept our hearts open for whatever God wanted to do. Today, when I look back, I can only say: God has been faithful.

Asian Summit 2025 — A Moment of Spiritual Renewal

Asian Summit 2025 was a deeply refreshing and meaningful experience for me personally.

One of the most memorable aspects was how God prepared my heart and spirit for a broader and deeper understanding of His calling on my life.

Faith in the Heart of Laos

It is so exciting to be back in Laos! What a beautiful nation this is, with kind people, gentle smiles, and stunning landscapes.

New steps in Spain

The persecution in Jerusalem struck with full force. The believers who were scattered went from place to place, preaching the gospel. One result of this was the birth of the church in Antioch. This pattern has repeated itself throughout the history of the Church and missions: refugees became missionaries, and the gospel reached new areas.

Missions in Thailand – A new time for Asia

Recently, I had the privilege of preaching at Nexus Church in Bangkok, a vibrant and forward-moving Thai congregation that God is using in a powerful way.

The Gospel to Japan!

Japan is one of the world's largest unreached peoples, with around 0.5% evangelical Christians. That means about 125 million people there don't know Jesus. This spring, we - a team of four second-year Bible school students - went on a mission trip there.

Last August, they took a bold step of faith, moving to the south of the country and buying a home in a small coastal village.

Romania

My colleague and I have been in Romania for over 6 months now and have really seen God at work on many levels.

Miracles in Rwanda

For most of my life I have always felt a longing to go to Africa. I didn't know how, I didn't know where, but God put that longing in my heart for a reason. He had bigger plans than I could imagine. In Bible school, I was honoured to be sent to Rwanda.

One of the most beautiful things in life is to be an instrument in God's hands and see how He works through us. To see how His love and power touches people - and we can only marvel, knowing that it is not about us, but about Him and His grace and love for the people around us.
