Annual Report 2024 – No Shrinking Back in Times of Chaos

Here an evangelist is teaching the Gospel to hundreds of eager children. Through simple-hearted believers of all ages, the Good News is being proclaimed and the Holy Spirit is transforming communities throughout Asia.



At the beginning of 2024, we give thanks for the opportunity to once again serve the Lord Jesus Christ in Asia. We greatly appreciate the prayers, encouragement and support of those Christians around the world who have been led by the Holy Spirit to join hands with us. Together, we are helping many who have never heard the Gospel become aware of the incredible salvation the Son of God has won for them.


As we began the new year, we made a list of all the Asian ministries we are privileged to partner with, and we found we are currently supporting 119 different ministries across 22 Asian countries. We are deeply thankful for each one of them.


As we meet and communicate with the leaders of these diverse groups, it is clear that Christians everywhere are under heavy pressure. Today, almost all the servants of God we know are surrounded by chaos, and are experiencing tremendous stress both personally and in their relationships and ministries.


Peter wrote: “Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings” (1 Peter 5:9).


It is not only your country where evil is on the rise and dark forces are twisting and perverting all that is good and true. Believers in China, India, and everywhere else we serve are crying out for stability and peace, but those things are becoming increasingly rare in a decaying world that seems to lurch from one crisis to another.


God’s Word in the above passage encourages us to persevere, and not to shrink back and be destroyed. If there is one thing we would like to exhort you to do, it is to daily read or listen to the Word of God, allowing His living water to wash over you and transform your mind.


If we lack the discipline of daily coming to eat the bread of God, we have no chance. We have yet to meet anyone who fell away from Christ while they were strong in the Word of God.


The good news is that “we do not belong to those who shrink back.” No! We serve a Living God who specializes in helping His children triumph in the midst of darkness.


In the Scriptures we read about Job, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Paul and others who faced continual struggle and chaos around them but continued to serve God.


This has been the testimony of the Church in China, as over 100 million people have fallen in love with the Lord Jesus in the past half century, despite unceasing efforts by the government to destroy their faith.


Do you feel weak as you try to live out your faith in a world that increasingly hates God and His ways? Good! For we are not called to overcome the world by feeling strong, but by embracing our weakness and giving it to the Lord.


The Apostle Paul testified: “He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong” (2 Corinthians 12:9-10).


In Asia, we are honored to serve the Lord’s people, many of whom are seeing greater fruitfulness for the kingdom of God than ever before! Revival has broken out among the poor and destitute in many places, and thousands of people have found a new depth of sweetness in Jesus Christ that they didn’t know during easier times.


If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed in the midst of life’s storms, don’t give up! Our King promises a time of fruitfulness will result if you cling to Him in faith. No matter how difficult things may become in the future,



“My dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain” (1 Corinthians 15:58).


Like this mighty tree (below), God wants His children to have strong roots that are daily nourished by the life-giving truth of His Word.

2023/2024 Annual Report

In the remainder of this newsletter we present our Annual Report, detailing the help Asia Harvest provided to the Body of Christ throughout Asia in 2023.


It has been a privilege to serve the Lord for another year.


We feel greatly blessed to be a link in the chain that resulted in many people coming to know Him. Last year, more than 850,000 Christian families were strengthened by receiving God’s Word through our Asia Bible Fund, while the 1,744 evangelists we support led a total of 302,107 people to Christ among 1,256 different tribes and ethnic groups.


For over 35 years now, our strategy has been to operate with as few overhead expenses as possible, so that resources will reach the hands of frontline workers who need them the most—the Asian Christians we are honored to assist and serve.


We thank each person who prayed for and supported our work last year. Without your vital partnership none of these things would have occurred.

From the time of Asia Harvest’s inception in the 1980s, we have desired to be transparent in the area of finances. Our annual financial statements are independently audited and are available for anyone to view on our website.


We thank God that last year we were able to send out substantially more project money than we received. Our operating costs are minimal, and are fully covered by non-project donations, and from income generated by book sales. This means that 100% of project donations are used on the field in Asia as specified.

In these end times we see many headwinds blowing against the progress of the Gospel in many parts of Asia, bit in the war-torn country of Myanmar (Burma) a different kind of wind is blowing — the breath of the Holy Spirit continues to fan the flames of a tremendous revival that is touching parts of society in Myanmar that have never been touched by the Name of Jesus before. As multiple civil wars are raging across the country, and millions of precious people are experiencing horrific suffering and near starvation as a result, we would like to share this short video with you, which gives a summary of how the Living God is turning ashes to beauty and death to life in the slums of one of Myanmar’s largest cities. This year, various Asia Harvest projects has been utilized as we have invested heavily in the kingdom of God in Myanmar. Because of your prayers and generous support, our Asia Bible Fund, Asian Workers’ Fund , Ministry Training Fund , Children’s Fund and Persecution & Relief Fund have all been used to help fuel the revival as it transforms many thousands of lives. Please consider sharing the video with others to help shed light on what is happening in Myanmar.
