Dear Friend…

Within hours, the year 2025 will come to a close.  It’s been another challenging year for all of us. Yet, one thing we know… God is still in control and working in ways that are beyond our imagination.

We have seen God at work changing lives through various ministry projects that have empowered them to commit their lives to God! Thank you to our many partners and friends for all your prayers and support…

During this Christmas and New Year’s season, we urgently need to support ministry projects in Vietnam, Cambodia, India, the Muslim world and in China. 

Last week, one of our ministry friends hosted a secret gathering of underground house church pastors in China. Among them, Pastor David (not his real name) shared a story that left everyone inspired: how a tiny fellowship that began in a pig farm outside Shanghai grew into a city-wide network of over 40 fellowships.

HUMBLE BEGINNINGS IN A PIG FARM

“Soon after I was married,” Pastor David recounted, “my wife and I felt called to serve the Lord in Shanghai. But we didn’t know anyone, and we didn’t know where to start. We had no money to host prayer meetings, so we rented a room inside a pig barn.”

Living in the barn, surrounded by dirt, the smell of pigs, and even rats, the couple faced daily challenges. “To protect our newborn daughter from the rats, we put out rat poison,” Pastor David shared. But even with precautions to protect our daughter, tragedy struck—our baby ingested some of the poison. After rushing her to a hospital, the doctors grimly stated that there was little they could do to help our precious daughter.

A MIRACLE THAT SPARKED A MOVEMENT

In desperation, Pastor David and his wife prayed—and God responded miraculously. Their baby was healed. Word spread quickly, and more villagers joined the Bible study.

The tiny pig house soon became too small. The church moved into a local factory, and as attendance grew, Pastor David launched additional locations—two, three, and then four—eventually overseeing a network of churches across Shanghai. Today, over 40 fellowships thrive under his leadership, serving hundreds of believers.

LEADERSHIP, TRAINING, AND GROWTH 

Earlier this year, our China partner hosted a leadership training event with Pastor David, gathering over 200 house church pastors who collectively shepherd more than 1,000 believers.

“What began in a small, humble pig farm has become a vibrant movement of faith, hope, and community across one of the largest cities in the world.”

PROJECTS THAT WILL IMPACT LIVES

Contribute to AsiaLink where it is needed most.

WHERE MOST NEEDED…
Your gift to the “Where Most Needed” fund empowers AsiaLink to respond quickly to urgent needs across Asia. By donating to this fund, you provide flexible support to areas of ministry that are underfunded or facing critical challenges—helping us continue to serve, equip, and bring hope where it is needed most.

VIETNAM: TRAINING PASTORS…

Equipping pastors remains a central passion of AsiaLink. Each year, we partner with Vietnamese churches to train pastors and ministry workers in the unchanging truths of God’s Word. Many of these leaders have no formal theological training but are deeply called by God. They face real-life challenges in their ministries and urgently need guidance on the themes and issues they encounter. Your gift helps us meet this growing need and strengthen leaders who are shaping communities for Christ.

VIETNAM: RESPONDING TO THE DRUG CRISIS

Drug addiction is rapidly increasing in Vietnam, especially among young people. Traditional opiates and heroin are being replaced by synthetic drugs like methamphetamine and ketamine, with nearly half of registered users aged 12–30. While the government enforces strict zero-tolerance policies, Pastor Phuong has a unique ability to reach those struggling with addiction, offering hope, guidance, and the promise of freedom in Christ.

 Your support enables ministries like Pastor Phuong’s to bring practical help and life-transforming hope to a generation at risk.

CAMBODIA: URGENT MEDICAL CARE NEEDED NOW …
For most Cambodians, medical care is simply out of reach. Many families have no access to doctors, clinics, or basic treatment-leaving the sick and suffering with nowwhere to turn.

AsiaLink is responding, partnering with local ministries to bring doctors, nurses, medicine, and prayer directly to those in desperate need. Care is given freely but the need is urgent.

Your gift today can help provide lfe-saving medical treatment and hope right now. Please give while there is still time to make an impact.

BIBLES FOR ASIA…

In some cases, Bibles are no longer in print or are too expensive to purchase. We often hear of whole villages where even the pastor has no Bible. In other instances, God’s Word has not been translated into the language of the people group, Each Bible costs an average of $4.50 to print and deliver. Will you invest in helping us provide the word of God into the various languages of people groups that have not heard God’s word in their own language?
