"Sending Two Missionary Families to Chiang Mai, Thailand"

East-West Center for MR&D has commissioned two missionary families to Thailand on June 25, 2016. They are Dr. & Mrs. Yongkuk Sung and Dr. & Mrs. Heecheol Kim. Both have earned Doctor of Ministry in Global Ministries degrees from Fuller Theological Seminary School of Intercultural Studies. They will arrive in Chiang-Mai, Thailand on August 2016. After the acquisition of the Thai language, they will be involved in facilitating missionary movements in South-East Asian countries, training local missionary candidates, and providing continuing education to the field missionaries. Please pray for their settlement in Thailand, learning of the culture, and language acquisition.

"12th AMA Convention"

The Asia Missions Association held its 12th triennial convention at the Greenhills Community Fellowship in Manila, Philippines on April 18-22, 2016. We welcomed about 200 mission leaders from 26 countries, including 63 speakers. The theme we deeply investigated was on “globalization and mission”. As a result, we were able to accumulate a vast array of articles on the theme and are expecting a comprehensive book on “globalization and mission” in the perspectives of Asian churches including some Non-Asian brothers and sisters’ to be published soon.
