Our Vision

Since 1881 the Free Methodist Church has had missionaries in Asia.

God has graciously used the Gospel’s witness, and today our church in Asia represents a third of the membership of our denominational family worldwide.

Still, less than 7% of the people in Asia have come to know personally the love of God through Jesus.

Our Vision

For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost. —Luke 19:10

FMWM-Asia makes disciples by crossing cultures to share Jesusdeveloping servant partnerships to reinforce national leadership, and implementing systems to cultivate flourishing Free Methodist Churches.

And so we concentrate on servant-partnerships with indigenous leaders. We are intentional with appropriate evangelism to keep our work gospel-centric. We see the importance of the urban center as well as the rural and tribal. We place priority upon church planting amplified by ministries of compassion and justice. And we see the development of leaders as exponentially strategic.

Speaking of strategy, we are burdened to work to influence at least one million people in Asia toward Jesus through evangelism and discipleship.  We also see the need to invite, equip, and deploy 10,000 leaders to that enormous task, so we have created the Gethsemane Leadership Training (GLT) pathway. Finally, we prioritize a simple church definition, and the mobilization of every disciple to make disciples.

Reaching Asia for Jesus today requires ingenuity, boldness, courage, authentic relationships, perseverance, and a passion to share the love of God.

Every effort is grounded in a fervency to share the Gospel with Asia—a part of our world that desperately needs to see the love and salvation that can only be found in Jesus. And we're praying that the Lord of the Harvest will send us more workers!

Might that be you?

You’re invited to join Jesus in His mission to transform Asia.

  • Go to help plant the seed of uncontainable hope.

  • Pray for a million Asians to be influenced toward Jesus. And then pray for a million more!

  • Give generously if you can’t go.

We’re eager to leverage the compelling opportunities in Asia to advance the Kingdom and bring glory to God, and we can’t wait for you to join us!

“You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit . . .”

— John 15:16a
