When the Lord called us to Singapore in 1997, he gave us a vision for Singaporean Christian leaders building up leaders and churches in China and in the other countries of Asia.

For the past 14 years, we have been personally investing in dozens and hundreds of leaders, who have reproduced into individuals and churches and ministries. Praise the Lord, this has been fulfilling as we have seen many Christian leaders equipped and encouraged for more fruitful ministry!

Through the years, we have had occasional involvement in overseas ministries in other countries.  But two years ago, we sensed the Lord saying it was time to expand from our base in Singapore and intentionally start pioneering mentoring ministries in other Asian countries. Jim has been making trips to Malaysia, China, and the Philippines to support three of our CRM Singapore leaders who have started mentoring groups in those countries.

Last month, our group in the Philippines formally registered CRM Philippines, with the intention of multiplying mentoring groups among Christian leaders there.  One of the pastors will be the CRM Philippines staff to build the ministry.  Praise the Lord for their vision and enthusiasm, but it is still an infant movement, and will need a lot of nurture to develop well.  Jim and Singaporeans will continue to mentor them in their ministry development.

Jim also senses the Lord directing him to Vietnam next year.  He is planning trips every two months to start mentoring leaders there, and has already translated our curriculum and made contacts with many leaders who are interested in partnering.  

Please pray for the beginning of the Vietnam initiative, as well as the continuation of the budding Malaysia, China, and Philippines groups.  

And thank you for your partnership - by investing in us, you are investing in Asian Christian leaders!
