From President

Greetings to you all as I humbly begin my service as the newly appointed President of the Asia Baptist Women’s Union. May the grace and peace of Jesus Christ, who is the Light and the Life, be abundantly upon your lives, families, and ministries.

It is only by the grace of the Lord that I have been placed in this weighty position. Therefore, I am confident that it is not I, but the Lord Himself who will lead this ministry. Trusting fully in the Lord who goes before me, I stand in this calling with reverence and humility.

The weight of this calling feels especially significant as we witness signs pointing to the nearness of the Lord’s return. Across the world, we hear increasing reports of wars, witness extreme natural disasters, and see the spread of injustice and evil. The distortion of God-given identity as male and female, the breakdown of families, and the crisis facing the next generation all stand as signs of the times.

With the global population estimated at around 8 billion, approximately 4.3 billion people in Asia are still in need of the Gospel. Furthermore, countless women and children across Asia remain bound by religious and cultural constraints, living without the freedom of faith and life, often in oppression and darkness.

In a world that is increasingly turning away from the God of truth, many are wandering without direction, uncertain of where to go or what standard to follow and losing the essence of life itself. In such a time as this, ABWU desires to proclaim Jesus Christ, the true Light and our only hope, to those living in darkness.

ABWU will continue to strengthen its ministries through Women Helping Women (WHW), Women Teaching Women (WTW), and Women Reaching out Women (WRW). In addition, we will expand into Women Praying for Women (WPW), so that women may overcome in this dark age.

Through these efforts, we pray for spiritual breakthrough in the lives and ministries of Asian women, for the restoration of souls, and for the advancement of God’s Kingdom.

The Kingdom of God is built like a Mission Mosaic. When each of us fulfills our unique role in our own place, the Kingdom is completed in unity. I invite each of you to take part in this calling by contributing your part to building God’s Kingdom in Asia and beyond.

Let us stand together in prayer and partnership so that women and children across Asia may be restored in the image of God, and that His Kingdom may come among the nations.

May God bless you all.
