Welcome to the Asia-Pacific Region of the International Church of the Nazarene!
The people of this region speak over 2000 languages and express life through these varied cultures with rich history and traditions. The major religions are Christianity, Buddism, Islam, Hinduism, Animism, Shintoism and Taoism. Of the 2.2 billion people living in the region, over 60% are under the age of 25 and more than 50% of the people in the region live in a city. There are more than 100 cities that have populations of more than 1 million with less than 3% followers of Jesus Christ. There are more than 614 million people that live in 600 distinct language/ethnic groups that are going through life without the transforming gospel of our Lord. The opportunities before us to serve those that God loves are everywhere. We seek to have intentional personal conversations that result in disciples making disciples who begin gathering people for worship and study of God's word that leads to transformation of people, families and communities from person to person, home to home and city to city. Please explore our web-site to find out how you can be personally involved in the ministry of the Church of the Nazarene in the Asia-Pacific Region, and to learn about the exciting things God is doing here! Making Christlike disciples in the nations of Asia-Pacific. "I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name." Revelation 3:8
