The International Mission Board encourages Southern Baptists to give through the Cooperative Program and the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for international missions through their local churches. We do, however, offer online giving options to individuals to support strategic priority needs. We also present information about making planned gifts.

Asia Challenge:
Strategic Priority Needs

Leadership development and church growth
 In a country where communication of the Gospel is highly restricted, some of the most pressing needs are leadership development and basic discipleship. Your giving will provide church-growth materials and train national church planters living in a country closed to IMB workers. 72401-240-068-2006

Church-planting movement training workshops
 South Asia is home to more unreached people groups than all the rest of the world combined! Yet through church-planting movements, we are seeing entire people groups ushered into God’s kingdom with multiplying new communities of faith. Church-planting movement training is needed all over South Asia if we are to multiply harvesters in this region of the world. At present, we do not have the funds needed to provide all of the training that is being requested. 71201-240-012-2007

Southern Cross Project
 An East Asian team is seeing evangelistic advances beyond what was expected and knows these advances are of God. The team is trusting Him for enough materials to give an evangelistic packet to 150,000 Chinese trourists traveling to Hong Kong. Given the chance to see, read and hear about God in the materials taken back to China by each of these tourists, nearly 1.3 million of their family members and friends could have the opportunity to find Jesus as Savior and Lord. 74303-240-040-2003

South Asia unengagd/unreached people Groups
 A 345 initiative is under way to engage the 345 people groups in this region who represent 73 percent of the world's remaining unengaged and unreached. Funding is needed to conduct research to locate these groups & implement a workable strategy to reach them with Christ's Gospel. Your giving can make an impact on the world's lost by providing the evangelism, discipleship training and Bible distributing that will be used to engage these groups. 71201-240-016-2007

"JESUS" film for South Asia's unreached millions
 One out of every four non-Christians lives in South Asia. The production, purchase and distribution of the "Jesus" film is a vital part of South Asia's strategy for fulfilling the Great Commission. Your giving will enable the lost to hear, in their own language, the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. 71201-243-014-2007
See the need.

Church-planting Training and Assessment
 South Asia is home to more unreached people groups than all the rest of the world combined. Increasingly, we are seeing signs of multiplying new church-planting movements among these unreached groups. Your gifts to this strategic need will enable us to learn how God is at work and accelerate this harvest. 71201-240-015-2007

Engage nonliterate peoples with the Good News
 Millions of people in South Asia cannot read, but stories of the Bible can be shared with them through storying and culturally appropriate music. Your giving can help get these stories and the music recorded onto cassettes, CD's, DVD's and small, inexpensive digital players. Also, your giving can share the Gospel even further through radio broadcasts. 71201-240-017-2007
See the need.

Bibles & Scripture portions for South Asia's unreached
 South Asia is home to more than 1.4 billion lost souls, most of whom have never heard the promise of John 3:16. Your giving will provide the Bible and Scripture portions in both written and oral form to this region's lost millions. 71201-469-013-2007
See the need.

Turkmen New Testaments
 Many Turkmen under age 25 are unable to read the Turkmen-language Bibles currently in print because they learned their language using the new Latin script. The Turkmen Partnership has agreed to print 10,000 copies of the new Latin-script Bibles for $4 each. Field personnel would like to purchase 3,000 copies to put into the hands of the Turkmen. 72401-260-071-2006
See the need.
$
Pisidian project
 Your giving can help fund a large distribution project in which it is planned that 70,000 copies of the JESUS film, a video on starting a local church and a Scripture portion containing Luke, Acts, and Romans, will be shared. Volunteers will come to a large Central Asian country to distibute these materials throughout the summer. Funds will go toward purchasing the materials for distribution at a cost of $3.50 per packet. 72401-469-264-2003
See the need.

Southern Cross project in Thailand
 An East Asian team is trusting God for enough resources to give an evangelistic packet to 250,000 Chinese tourists. As seven to 10 persons could see, read and hear about God in the materials taken back to China by each of these tourists, up to 1.5 million of their family members and friends may have the opportunity to find Jesus as Savior and Lord. Your giving can help provide the printing assembling and distributing of brochures in three languages in Thailand and beyond. 74402-240-073-2005
See the need.
$
Full Circle
 Full Circle is focused on engaging as many unreached people groups as possible whose populations exceed 100,000 and megacities with populations in excess of 1 million. The ultimate goal is to evangelize these vast numbers of lost people and train believers in ways that will lead to indigenous church-planting movements in this region and beyond. Your giving will provide Bibles, radios, the JESUS film, computers and training for various personnel. 74402-240-020-2004

God's Word for Chinese Tourists
 The best way for God to make His ways known and for His salvation among all nations to be heard is to see that His Word is given to those who do not have it. Our project (Southern Cross) is actively pursuing ways of sharing His Word with Chinese tourists as they travel outside China. This is a tremendous opportunity that God has opened up for us and it needs to be taken advantage of, but, we need Scriptures and Scripture portions to complete the task. In giving towards this need you can be assured that it will go towards putting God's precious Word right in the hands of those who literally have no chance of receiving it where they live. 74402-463-010-03
See the need.

Bibles for itinerant evangelists
 House churches in the region are experiencing tremendous growth! Considering the numbers coming to faith through them, at least 100,000 Bibles are needed each month just to keep up with this harvest. Your giving can provide pastors with a full Bible they can use as they lead house churches. 74402-463-356-1999
See the need.
$
Central Asian Scriptures distribution
 The Central Asia Russian Scriptures (CARS) project has supplied more than 30 million Russian speaking Muslims with an adaptation of the Bible that is easy to understand and culturally appropriate. Your giving can enlarge the distribution of the CARS Bible. 72401-469-045-04
See the need.

Engagement of 20 unreached people groups
 Funding is needed to begin work among 20 new unreached people groups and cities in South Asia, representing more than 200 million lost people. Your giving can help field personnel implement a church-planting movement among these peoples & begin a new harvest for the kingdom.
