Asia – Look, Pray, Go/Send!

How shall they hear without a preacher? Asia being the largest and most populous continent in the world is in need of many preachers of the gospel. Asia has the two largest countries in the world, China and India, and contains about 4 billion souls which is about 60% of the world’s population. It reaches from Japan all the way to Turkey, from Russia all the way down to Indonesia. It is home to thousands of unreached people groups in the world.

Take a moment and just LOOK over the the following countries and get familiar with them. Then PRAY and ask God to send forth more laborers into His harvest, and finally GO or find someone to SEND in your place.
