01 / Communication
Stay connected via Signal.
Good communication is one of the things that keeps us strong as a team. If you’re not already receiving updates in the Asia M Updates Signal group, make sure you’re plugged in. This is one more way we stay close across the miles.

|
02 / Prayer Movement
One Year for One Million — will you join us?
You came to Asia because you believe the Gospel changes everything. Here’s a chance to put that conviction into prayer alongside a global movement.
|
The One Year for One Million initiative is an invitation to pray — consistently, specifically — for the proclamation of the Gospel across Asia and for hearts to respond.
|
I’d love for every one of you to be part of this.

03 / Watch
Have you seen the 2025 Video Report?
If you haven’t yet — stop what you’re doing and watch it. It is remarkable. It’s being featured at USA Annual Conferences this year, and it tells the story of what God is doing through your faithfulness. Share it. Be encouraged by it.
|
|
04 / Tool
Light up the world in prayer.
Here’s a tool I want to put in your hands: the Joshua Project Prayer Map. Click on any location, read about an unreached people group, pray — and that spot lights up for 24 hours.
Join with believers around the world in covering the map with prayer. Let’s light it up together.

Reaching for the Million
Our Better Together Converge — BTC’26 — is the premier annual All-Asia Leadership event. Leaders gather to pray, equip, and mobilize for one million people in Asia influenced toward Jesus.
Registration is now open. Lock in the early-bird rate before June 30.

05 / Field Notes
Annual meetings — what a season.
Most of our annual meetings are wrapped up for the year — and what a year it has been. Ordinations, trainings, and celebrations of the way our Father is moving through His people across Asia.
It’s been a joy to witness, and your presence in these gatherings makes a difference.

Better Together: why we do this the way we do
As missionaries in Asia, you’re not just crossing cultures — you’re building something. The way we build matters as much as what we build. Everything we do in FMWM-Asia is shaped by five pillars we call the Better Together Pillars — out of Scripture, out of hard-won experience, and out of a deep belief that how we partner is itself a witness to the Gospel.
|
| 01 |
Shared Identity
Before we share work, we share who we are. In Christ, there are no benefactors and beneficiaries — only co-heirs and co-laborers. Every decision, every conversation, every partnership posture should reflect that we stand on equal ground. Paternalism and patronage distort this. The imago Dei in every person we work with demands better.
|
|
| 02 |
Shared Mission
This mission belongs to God. We get to participate in it. When we remember that, we stop protecting territory and start collaborating freely. Missionaries and national leaders aren’t running parallel tracks — we’re running the same race together, toward the same finish line, with mutual accountability for getting there.
|
|
| 03 |
Shared Acceleration
This is the pillar most people miss. Interdependence isn’t just about sharing limitations — it’s about multiplying capacity. You bring things your national partners don’t have. They bring things you don’t have. When both sides lean in, the Kingdom moves faster and further than either could manage alone.
|
|
| 04 |
Shared Sustainability
We are building for decades, not project cycles. That means honest conversations about money, leadership pipelines, and structures that will outlast any one person or program. Neither unhealthy dependency nor abrupt handoffs serve the work. Sustainability is something we build together — bringing our combined strengths to bear on the obstacles we face, with open hands and long horizons.
|
|
| 05 |
Shared Destiny
Revelation 7 is where we’re headed: every tribe, tongue, people, and language gathered before the throne. There is an urgency that lives in two places at once — in our hearts, as we long to be with the Lord Jesus and see that day finally come; and in our spirits, as we labor with everything we have to share Jesus with those still outside the family of faith, before it is too late.
That destination is not abstract — it is the vision that pulls everything forward. When partnerships get hard, when resources are thin, when the work is slow, the question isn’t just what works — it’s what does the day before us require, in light of where we’re going?
|
|
|
These five pillars hold together everything we’re doing — the prayer movements, the conferences, the annual meetings, the ordinations, the partnerships. We are not just doing missions. We are doing missions together, in a way that honors the Body of Christ and points toward its final, glorious gathering.
Thank you for being part of this. Truly.
— Eric
