Supporting Kingdom Ministries in East Asia
Rural East Asia is one of the poorest, least-evangelized regions of the world. Our mission is to support kingdom ministries in East Asia to impact the world as Jesus commissioned. This year we are supporting 12 outreaches in 7 different countries that focus on poverty alleviation, as well as evangelism and long-term discipleship. These partnerships include projects such as supporting Christian orphanages in Burma, Cambodia, and Thailand, caring for prisoners and exploited laborers in Taiwan, building water wells and houses in Vietnam, and providing goats for ministry and income generation among minority tribal groups in Vietnam. The $15,000 grant will go directly toward supporting the ministries that have the most urgent needs in 2017. The funds will help not only the children and families in need, but also help the local grassroots leaders minister to them more effectively.

Mission Trip: Our Visit with Rui Rui

This was written by Beth Kam, an Agape Fish high school intern. View the original post. 
​It was 5:00am and as dark as night. The sun wasn’t even up, so why was I awake?

We were going to visit Rui Rui in the countryside of Gansu. Rui Rui has congenital heart disease, but she is unable to receive surgery because of her pulmonary hypertension. So for the last two years, I have raised the money for her heart medicine by teaching a summer craft camp. I was so excited to finally meet her in person!

Rui Rui lived far away from the campsite, which is why we were up at 5 in the morning. A private car had been hired to take us first to Lanzhou, and then we would take the bullet train out to Dongwei. Before reaching the train station, we stopped for breakfast at a small beef noodle shop where we had fresh, hand-pulled noodles.

Hoa was forced to climb trees and pick coconuts, 
even though he had paid $5,000 to come to Taiwan for a factory job. 
​Many of us enjoy Labor Day as a long holiday weekend. But there are hundreds of exploited migrant workers who never get a day off. We help laborers like Hoa through our Laborer Care ministry in Taiwan.

Mission Trip: LRS Camp 2017 Our Final Day

9/1/2017

This was written by Emily Kam, an Agape Fish high school intern. View the original post.
​One of the camp counselors, Xiao Wen, was actually a heart surgery patient (you can read his story on this blog here). When he first arrived I recognized him immediately, even though I had only seen his picture. He now finished his third year in college and is studying business! It’s amazing to see how blessings can come full circle, as LRS supported Xiao Wen and now Xiao Wen is serving at their camp for others like himself.

Our last day with the children was a half-day at the Natural History Museum in Lanzhou. The day before we had gone to visit a girl who Beth supported through her craft camps. The girl lived up in the rural areas of Gansu, far away from the camp, so we spent the entire day there and went back to the city after to find a place to sleep.

I was so excited to see the children again! I had missed them, even though only 24 hours had passed.

The children greeted us joyfully, many of them rushing to give us hugs. While waiting to enter the museum, they all began to play the hand game we taught them a few days ago. I was so glad to see them enjoying themselves and playing the game not only with us but the other counselors and with each other.

We explored the museum, looking at ancient pottery and tiny statues of Buddha. All too soon, it was time for us to say goodbye.

It was a flurry of hugs and tears and some people looked at us curiously as they passed by, but it didn’t matter. We took a group picture at the end.
