Asia Overview

Asia has two of the world’s largest countries making it the most populated continent in the world. With a population of 3.6 billion, Asia has 55% of the 6.5 billion people that live on planet earth. With such an enormous population, we are presented with an astounding need.

Most of the worlds “closed countries” are on the continent of Asia. The continent is saturated with Muslim and Buddist-belief systems, while Spiritism practices permeate the land.

Christians in these countries are persecuted daily for their faith in Christ. Fewer and fewer missionaries are going to one of the most needy places in the world.
