Serving under the Rain

It is the rainy season in Thailand, and nearly every day the rain transforms the once-scorched land into a lush green landscape. The cooler temperatures and refreshing breeze provide welcome relief from the heat. The air is fresh, the rivers are full, and fruit trees and rice fields are flourishing. Thank God crops are growing! Although the rain can sometimes be inconvenient, especially when we have to take shelter while riding our scooters, it is a wonderful gift from God, bringing life, provision, and beauty to the land.

Even though it rains almost every day, the work of God’s kingdom continues. The 2026–2027 academic year at AIS has begun with 40 new students enrolled, online and onsite, in the Master's program with a New Testament emphasis. Another group of students is also waiting to start the Master of Divinity program with an emphasis on the Old Testament and missions.

Among these students is Timotiwu, whose life is a powerful testimony of God's grace. Before coming to study God's Word, Timotiwu was a Muay Thai boxer who competed in the ring many times. His life changed dramatically after a devastating motorcycle accident. He underwent seven brain surgeries, and doctors reconstructed the right side of his skull using elephant bones.

Timotiwu

Although the accident left him with lasting challenges, including moments when he struggles to process his thoughts, God has continued to use him in remarkable ways. Timotiwu is gifted with creativity and often thinks outside the box. His joyful spirit, constant smile, and positive attitude bring energy and encouragement to everyone in the classroom, making learning both engaging and enjoyable.

Yet behind his cheerful smile is an honest spiritual struggle. During one class, Timotiwu shared that he has often felt discouraged in ministry. At times, he questions his own worthiness to serve the Lord and asks, "Why would God use someone as unworthy as me to serve His Kingdom?"

Even in those moments of doubt, Timotiwu continues to witness God's faithfulness. He confidently testifies that God has answered many of his prayers, including the wonderful blessing of a loving wife, whom he received after years of fervent prayer. His life reminds us that God's calling is not based on human strength or perfection, but on His grace and sovereign purpose.

Please join us in praying for Timotiwu as he pursues his dream of studying God's Word more deeply and preparing for a lifetime of faithful ministry. Pray that the Lord will strengthen his mind, encourage his heart, and continually remind him that God delights in using ordinary and even broken people to accomplish His extraordinary purposes. May Timotiwu's journey continue to inspire us to trust God’s grace rather than our own abilities.

The classes went well. Even as we had to face the rain everyday, we had shelter. Even when it rains and storms, the worship songs thundered. Even in the midst of the downpour and occasional power outage, we are still training Christian leaders to expand the Kingdom of God. We are encouraged beyond measure as we have a great team and the students' desire and their sacrifices to learn the Word.

The new cohort's first class

Also, please pray that God will bring more professors to serve in this growing ministry. As the number of students continues to increase, we need faithful teachers who are willing to invest in the next generation of Christian leaders by sharing biblical knowledge and ministry experience, whether onsite or online.

Thank you from the team from Ohio for joining our ministry

If God has placed this ministry on your heart, we would love to hear from you. Your partnership through teaching, mentoring, and equipping future servants of Christ can have an eternal impact in Southeast Asia and China. Please prayerfully consider how the Lord might use your gifts to strengthen His Kingdom through this ministry, and feel free to contact us for more information.

Family Updates

Stephen continues to prepare for the next course after the visit to the US. His more than two decades of work on the Gospel of Luke have been redeemed from his broken-down computer. Praise the Lord! He’s currently looking forward to educating Christians on how to reach the Buddhist population. Buddhism is considered one of the major religions in most Southeast Asian countries; with this new topic, it will greatly benefit in the mission field. Mary is the backbone of hosting guests and students at our center. This year we’ve had several teams, including our most recent partners from a church in Ohio. This team came and humbly served with us in teaching the students at AIS and also the local grade schools. We were so blessed to have an increase in the number of guests coming to the mission field and joining in mission works. 

Nick has been providing pastoral counseling for a few people in Chiang Mai and also mentoring university students. He has also been preparing a class on teaching pastoral counseling, spiritual gifts, and mental health-related classes for AIS students this fall. This course will make a significant contribution to the AIS curriculum, equipping students to address a critical need, as mental health education is largely unavailable in the communities where they serve in ministry. As a manager, Khao has exemplified servant leadership by mentoring and encouraging her coworkers, reflecting Christ's love through her character, integrity, and care for others. 

John is currently helping with increasing our mission awareness by helping create content (podcast, social media posts) so that partners can connect with us further. John and Anna are currently in Vietnam to renew Anna's visa while also visiting AFC team members serving in the country. Much appreciated your prayers!

Becky has been a great host on Zoom for our Saturday Bible English class with the Myanmar students. She also teaches English to more local grade school students on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Isaac is preparing to move to Bangkok to study political science and global studies at the number one-rated university in Thailand. Please continue to pray for us as we work together to expand His Kingdom in Southeast Asia and China.

Drawing closer to July, Kao, Nick, and Stephen have been preparing to visit the states. We will spend our time with friends and visiting our partnering churches. Also, we will speak at two Christian camps. Please pray that God grant us the words and courage to speak on behalf of the amazing things He continues to do in Southeast Asia and China. If you’d like to meet with us, please reach out to us.

 

Sending out the New Graduates

Asians for Christ started in 1997, when Stephen and Derek were studying at Lincoln Christian Seminary. They had a vision to evangelize and reach the people in Southeast Asia. Looking back from when we first began, we have seen how God is working through us. We have educated villagers on how to grow coffee and partnered with many organizations to help the community such as relief work among other successful projects. More importantly, we have planted many churches in villages, baptized thousands of people, and trained many servant leaders.

Stephen and Derek excited for the commencement

This year, AIS celebrates 33 graduates. All of them have served full-time in the ministry of God’s Kingdom across Thailand and Myanmar. Some work as Bible teachers in Bible training centers and Christian colleges, while others serve on the front lines of mission, sharing the gospel with people who have never heard of Christ. Others shepherd congregations as pastors in their local churches. These students have dedicated their time and efforts to join each class; some have even joined online classes where warplanes flew over them and bombs exploded nearby.

Commencement of the 33 graduates

Over 400 people attending this commencement event

The graduating class of 2026

Among these graduates, Daniley carries a particularly unique responsibility. He serves as the chairman of a fellowship network of pastors and teachers in Shan State, Myanmar, a group consisting of eighty-three pastors and teachers serving in villages and churches throughout the region. Because many of these churches are independent and not connected to a specific denomination, Daniley plays a crucial role in fostering communication, encouragement, and unity among them. He frequently travels to visit these pastors and teachers, strengthening their fellowship and encouraging them to remain faithful in their ministry.

Daniley graduated!

Daniley traveling by bike to visit various ministries

Daniley’s work often requires long and difficult journeys. Many churches are located in remote mountain villages where transportation is limited, and roads are challenging. Despite these difficulties, he faithfully visits them, listening to their struggles, praying with them, and encouraging them to persevere in serving the Lord. When Daniley discovers a church without a pastor or preacher, he encourages young believers within the community to step forward and serve. He believes that God can raise local leaders to shepherd their own people. Through his encouragement, several young men and women have begun serving as leaders in their churches.

In addition, Daniley is deeply committed to evangelism. He regularly travels to remote villages to share the gospel with those who have never heard the message of Jesus. His ministry also extends to practical care. In many remote villages, both believers and unbelievers do not know how to seek medical treatment when they become seriously ill. Daniley often helps sick villagers travel to hospitals in the cities. He guides them through the process, translates for them when they cannot speak Burmese, and helps them receive the care they need. For many families, he has become not only a spiritual leader but also a compassionate helper in times of crisis. With such ministry, many unbelievers were led to Christ.

What makes Daniley’s ministry especially remarkable is that he serves without receiving a salary. Instead, he lives simply through small personal gifts from believers and through farming. Despite limited resources, he continues to serve faithfully, motivated by his love for Christ and the people he serves.

For Daniley, ministry is not a profession but a calling. Whether encouraging pastors, training new leaders, evangelizing remote villages, or helping the sick reach medical care, he serves with humility and dedication. His life stands as a testimony that true ministry flows not from financial reward but from a heart wholly devoted to the Lord.

Equipping

The week after the commencement ceremony, Derek Voorhees, taught a weeklong intensive Bible course to the students. Derek and his wife Nell flew across the ocean to join the commencement and spend time with the Wongs. Even with the jetlag from the time difference, they were pushed through and stayed up until the evenings. All the students felt very blessed and full of joy to have guests from the West come and spend time with them. Our family are very grateful for the Voorhees dedication to this ministry.

Derek and Stephen equipping the AIS sudents

We look back to the hundreds of Kingdom workers we have trained in the past couple of decades and feel very honored to be a part of this ministry. The students live throughout Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, and China. We are proud of all the students as many of them serve at a certain capacity in their relative churches and mission field. It is evident that God is moving in Southeast Asia and China and we are excited to continue to see how His kingdom will continue to grow.

Nick officially graduated from his master’s program early this month with a 3.98 GPA. He spoke at a mental health conference at the end of March. Most people in Asia view mental health related issues as spiritual reasons: a demon is oppressing the individual. While this may be the case, a mental health problem could be a better answer so that treatment could be more effective. With his new knowledge, he has begun setting up a couple classes for future students at AIS. In Asia, mental health is not a concept that people in remote have never heard of. One class will be on basic mental health. This is just to give the students an understanding of mental health disorders like depression and anxiety; on top of this they will be able to understand suicide prevention and be able to help people who may be struggling with this. Another class will be on pastoral counseling, how to use the bible in counseling, such as during grief counseling.

Empowering

During the graduation week, many of the students, both graduates and alumni, were present to join us in the celebration. One of the grandest moments was during the graduation ceremony, the professors and pastors in the area gave speeches to encourage the students to use their new biblical knowledge to support their ministries. The messages from all the professors combined to empower the students to continue to humbly serve God. One of the students then got up and gave a speech on behalf of all the students. He gave a speech in English, and as he stuttered through the speech, he remarked how “it was a blessing to be able to study the Bible at such great depth” and that the entire class “would use what they learned to serve God and serve their community.” This brought joy and tear for all of us as we have seen how many of them have sacrificed so much to study the Word.

Evangelism

In Thailand, 96% of the population is Buddhist with only .5% of the population protestant Christians. We are in the process of setting up a course to educate the leaders to reach out to the Buddhist community. Last year, we helped the people in Mandalay after the large earthquake in Myanmar. This relief project, partnered by IDES, impacted the Buddhist community as they questioned us about our faith. Even the Buddhist monks in the area were impressed and gave AFC a certificate of appreciation in our relief efforts despite the country going through a civil war. Our evangelists in Myanmar do not know how to reach the Buddhist people so that is why Stephen is refreshing up on his Buddhist understanding in the efforts to create a class for the AIS on how to reach Buddhist people in Southeast Asia.

Family

The family is doing well. We have had guests or events nearly every week, which have been filled with joy. We now have a couple of weeks of normal tasks until another set of events. Mary continues to manage the house and makes sure things run smoothly. Becky has been teaching the neighborhood kids English and that’s been keeping her busy; many of the kids are now able to communicate in basic English which has been very successful. Nick had just finished speaking at a mental health conference in the scientific topic of how relationship with God helps with mental health; on top of this, he spends his time reaching out to the college students. John has currently set up an English educational center which targets Chinese learners and has been growing. Recently, he had to go register for the military draft. Isaac is currently in the process of moving to a more competitive university in Bangkok.

AFC’s ministry of making disciples of Jesus across Southeast Asia and China continues to grow as we faithfully teach God’s Word. This is especially true among believers in the Shan state of Myanmar, where many church leaders are deeply hungry to learn the Bible, even as they live through the hardships of civil war. Asia international seminary, AIS, a program under AFC has trained many classes of leaders throughout the various countries in Asia.

Recently, a class was offered by AIS, for the first time since the war began, on the Myanmar side. Some of the students, Zaw-wa and four others showed remarkable commitment by riding small motorbikes for seven days, deliberately avoiding areas of fighting. At one point, they had to stop and wait near a battlefield for several hours until it was safe to continue. By God’s protection, they finally reached our meeting place on the Thai–Myanmar border and were eager to study God’s Word together.

Josephus also faced a very painful challenge. Just days before leaving, his wife fell ill and had to be hospitalized. The doctors told him there was no hope and suggested removing all life-support equipment. Longing to attend the training, Josephus and his classmates prayed together and trusted God to step in. The very next day, his wife was completely healed, leaving the doctors shocked. That same afternoon, she was released from the hospital, and Josephus was able to join the training.

Personally, Stephen also struggled with fear about going to teach in Myanmar. Many people warned him not to go because of safety concerns. Bringing his fear to God in prayer, and one day he noticed a sign in his living room that said, “God is with you in all that you do.” He also realized he had been choosing comfort over obedience, while many students were risking their lives just to come and study the Bible. So, he decided to go, even though he was afraid. When the Stephen and the AFC team reached the border gate, which is usually closed, the authorities opened it just for us. They did the same when we returned. These experiences reminded us that God is faithful. When we step out in faith, even with fear, He goes before us and makes a way.

After Stephen’s return, Thanksgiving and Christmas season was in full swing. Thanksgiving is very important to the Lisu people. The majority of Lisu are farmers, and therefore October and November mark the harvest season, a time of gratitude and communal celebration. Almost every week, churches across different areas take turns hosting thanksgiving gatherings to give thanks for God’s provision. Nearly every weekend, Stephen and the team were invited to join these celebrations and share God’s Word.

One weekend, our center hosted a thanksgiving service/building dedication attended by more than 200 people. Throughout the day believers from various churches offered songs and dance as acts of worship, followed by messages of encouragement from Christian leaders. Hosting this event was a profound blessing, as many non-believers including a senator, a lawyer, local authorities and even a shaman, heard the Word of God in this setting. Then, December came with a new wave of Christmas gatherings. Like Thanksgiving, Christmas is a communal celebration, rather than private family observances. Again, Stephen and his team traveled from place to place preaching at these services, and Stephen also offered special song, an uncommon by deeply appreciated blessing for many.

We are truly grateful for the privilege of serving the Lord and encouraging believers. We also hosted a small gathering at our house, inviting college students to share a meal and fellowship with our family. Though we have been super busy, and manpower limited, we praise the Lord for opening many doors to serve and for sustaining us through every opportunity.

Stephen and Mary continue to oversee the detailed renovations as the big construction projects have been completed. Stephen has taught and preached just about every week since September, including his trip across into the Myanmar war zone. Mary has started fall clothes drive in order to get clothes, pack them, and deliver them to the people in need throughout Southeast Asia. Becky has started teaching a group of local children in the neighborhood and has accrued over 7 regular students. Nick has finally passed his thesis exam and in his revision phase before submitting his thesis to conclude his degree. On top of this, he continues to support the technological side of AFC and leads a bible English class to Myanmar students with Becky and a group of brothers and sisters in Christ from the states. Nick has found much empirical evidence in support that having a relationship with God and Christian practices are beneficial for mental health of Christians in Asia. This has been one of the first findings especially in the topic of relationships and mental health for Christians in Southeast Asia. He plans to implement his findings in a course for AIS this year.

We would like to invite you to partner with us in prayer for the advance of the gospel in Southeast Asia and China. Since 2019 due to the Covid, our outreach among non-believers in Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, and China has been significantly restricted. Yet the call from local communities continues to grow. As Scripture reminds us, “How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher?” (Rom 10:14). If God permits, we long to restart this ministry by visiting our students and teammates in the different regions and countries and sending them out to reach unreached and restricted areas, trusting that the Lord will use his people to bring the good news of Jesus’s redemption to their own people and nations.

We are happy to share the wonderful news that the construction of the new facilities at our center in Chiang Mai has now been completed. By God’s grace, a new multipurpose building is now ready to serve as a space for meetings, worship services, Bible teaching, and a digital recording studio for training and outreach. In addition, a new residence has been completed, allowing Stephen, Mary, and Becky to move in and free their former home to be renovated for visiting teachers and students. Please continue to pray with us as we furnish and equip the interiors, especially as we establish a media recording studio to further extend our outreach ministry.

We hope you all have had an amazing Christmas and New Year. May we continue to faithfully do great works through Christ who strengthens us this year.

New Things on the Horizon

 

Jesus’ Great Commission in Matthew 28 is of utmost vital and eternal significance. As His followers, we are called to lift our eyes beyond the immediate and embrace God’s greater vision. God desires that every person on earth to hear the life-giving message of the gospel. God doesn’t want anyone to be perish, but that all would come to repentance and experience His transforming love.

This Great commission compels us to move beyond ourselves and our borders. Our calling is to bring the good news of Jesus Christ to the nations, especially throughout Southeast Asia and China, where countless souls have yet to encounter His grace. By his grace, God are sent to equip Christian workers, to evangelize to those who do not yet believe, and to empower communities with the love of Christ.

Equipping

Recently, we have been focused on equipping current and future Christian Kingdom workers. We have had over several classes, over 50 local Christian leaders trained in advance biblical classes – tearing down the denominational views and studying the Bible exegetically. These Kingdom workers come together from these different denominations and study the Bible intensively in order to improve their biblical understanding and therefore teach the members of their local churches to base their faith and understanding upon the truth in the Bible. This has been one of our main focus because we believe that the Bible is the foundation of our belief and it is crucial for the church and its members.

Stephen teaching Revelation

Alebo, a former student, also helped teach the class

Stephen recently taught the book of Revelation in a weeklong intensive course for Christian workers from Myanmar and Thailand. This group of leaders demonstrated a deep passion for studying God’s Word. One student, in particular, showed remarkable dedication by walking alone for three hours, crossing mountains and the border, and then riding a bus for another three hours—each way—to attend every class over the past two years. In this weeklong intensive course, Nick had the opportunity to teach about mental health from what he’s been studying in his master’s degree. He worked with the students to find out their attachment style. Attachment theory involves the idea of the importance of the first few years of a child’s life with their caregiver (especially the mother); this relationship, if unhealthy leads to insecure attachment style which is associated with negative mental health and strain in relationships. Nick’s focus, from his research, is to let the students know that insecure attachment styles, if left unaware, affects relationship with the community and even with God. This is to encourage people to also give emphasis on raising children in the best way possible. The students finished the weeklong course with great feedback and were equipped to go back and teach what they learned to their community.

Evangelizing

As you know, we are continuing to expand, so our next main focus is to make a evangelistic efforts flow smoothly together with our teaching endeavors. In the past, we have worked with local evangelists and have reaped many souls for His Kingdom. Unfortunately, some of these past evangelists, for many reasons, are working on their own or moved on to other careers. Albeit this task of reaching out to the lost is complicated with many challenges – physically, emotionally, mentally, and financially. With over tens of thousands of people coming to Christ in the past decade, we desire to continue to improve this aspect of our missions. We have been discussing how we can better play a role in partnering with these evangelists. Now, we have the best candidates from each of these cohorts we equip and are working more diligently in the strategic planning, fundraising, and support in their field. Although we still support a range of Kingdom workers throughout Southeast Asia and China, we have chosen specific evangelists and dialed in even more in their ministry by providing stable financial and missional support.

Evangelism to remote villages

The best yet not easy way to get to remote villages

A church in some of the remote areas are simple
but full of faithful Christians

One of the students in this cohort is an evangelist who has been traveling to areas in Myanmar where opium is still readily available. This evangelist has bravely
gone to the areas and shared the gospel with many villagers, turning them from growing opium – even though opium is important to their livelihood. Opium has grown in some of these areas where the law and regulations have not been active, and the villagers grow the opium as a cash crop. Most of these villagers are just making a living, not knowing the harm some of these crops may cause; in order to change the people’s decision in growing such a lucrative crop, the people must change their personal beliefs. For those who decided to change crops, they take a loss in income but are doing because they now belong in His Kingdom. Praise God for the amazing work that starts from the building blocks of the truth and goes into the field.

Another student, Michael, a retired police officer in Northern Thailand has been instrumental in the mission field. He has been serving at a local church in Chiang Rai where ethnic minority children are being reached out. The church continues to grow even with a large generational gap between the members. On top of this, Michael, using his government connections, has been helping refugees from Myanmar gain temporary status to stay in Thailand. In previous months, many of the refugees were arrested, separated from their families, and awaited deportation. If the refugees were sent back to their country, they face imprisonment or illegal conscription to join in the war. Michael stepped up and helped the refugees stay in the country (at the border), while the churches in the area tended to their needs and shared the gospel.

Empowering

AFC has always been a “wholistic” ministry because a person is spiritual, physical, emotional, and mental. We have seen too many times in missions that physical needs are put aside; don’t get us wrong, spiritual aspects of the mission is very important, but it should also come with meeting physical needs. Many missions build large church buildings, bring people into the church, and focus on spiritual teachings. While these are amazing things especially if the locals are already living in prime conditions and having sustainable jobs. In Southeast Asia, many are living below the poverty line and are struggling to make ends meet. In these spiritually-only focused missions, many of the large church buildings end up eventually empty as people are trying to pursue their next meal.

In the past year, we have worked with local churches to provide relief for those affected by the war, floods, and earthquakes. A few months ago, our team provided meals and clean water to thousands of people in Mandalay, Myanmar through our partnership with IDES and churches in the States. We focused primarily on meeting the physical needs of the people first. Not a word of the gospel was delivered on the first week of relief work and this was our choice because we understand that in Southeast Asia the culture is focused more on community and gratitude. After a week, the people started to ask why we were helping them, and this is the moment we share a glimpse of Christ love and good news to them. Overwhelmed by gratitude, the community in Mandalay spread the word and our missions were recognized and praised. This is the moment we knew that the door in this area was open for evangelism. Even the local head monk at the large Buddhist temple in Mandalay was thankful for our work that they presented AFC a certificate of appreciation from their Buddhist group. Now, another field has been planted with the seed of Christ and we are now in the process of setting up a class on how to reach Buddhists for the local church leaders and evangelists (some of our students live in this area). After a few months, the physical needs of the locals are still there as they try to reorganize their lives; please pray for the people in Myanmar as we may need to assist their needs as they recover from earthquake and continue to live in a war-torn country.

Expansions

We are happy to announce that we have two buildings being constructed to accommodate the growth of our missions. The need came when we realized hundreds of local Christian leaders from Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, and China requested to come study with us. We realized that although teaching online was a great avenue for those who are unable to come onsite, the onsite classes are more hands on and can go deeper. On top of that, when teachers came to help teach, they had no place to stay so that added to the expenses. To take on this, AFC board decided to construct buildings to tackle these needs. One of the buildings will be purposed to host teachers and students who come to AFC center. The other building will be a multipurpose building used as a church, meeting room, classroom, and a multimedia recording studio. This is a game changer as we further His Kingdom and make it more sustainable in equipping, evangelizing, and empowering.

Family

The Wongs recently went through a bombardment of the flu. This spread around and lasted a couple of weeks. Although most of the family was sick, they continued the overseeing of the buildings’ construction, teachings, and planning. Stephen has been busy in the office teaching classes and preparing his next courses. Mary continues to oversee most of the projects at the center, including (with Stephen) the construction of the new buildings. Isaac just finished his midterm exams and enjoying his first year in college. He has already been to Japan to compete in engineering contest and their team won the best idea award. Becky has been teaching the grammar class portion of the English bible class which her and Nick (with the members from Hawaii) lead. This class has been a desirable class for many from Laos and Myanmar, unfortunately the number of students are low due to unstable internet from the conflicts in their countries. Nick is finishing up his manuscript for his master’s degree and is awaiting to publish them to a journal, after he has finished his thesis and defense, graduation will be on the horizon.

We are very excited about how AFC is expanding and it is all thanks to everyone who played a part. We thank you for you partnership and prayers for His Kingdom work in Southeast Asia and China.
