ASAP (Advocates for Southeast Asians and the Persecuted) was founded in with the primary focus of spreading the Gospel by church plants in difficult countries where thousands of unreached people groups exist. ASAP trains and equips national believers to be missionaries to their own people. In addition to spreading the Gospel, ASAP seeks opportunities to alleviate poverty, hunger, disease, oppression, and lack of education. Funds will continue to provide missionaries with needed training. Additionally, 40 women will receive special training to reach out to new mothers in the community, the “Welcome Baby Project.”
