(Asia) Many Were Inspired to Preach the Word of God at the 2023 Asia Directors' Conference from January 4-6, 2024
by John K.
The Asia Directors' Conference of 2024 took place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from January 4th to 6th. The conference was attended by 48 people, including 6 representatives from the United States, 6 from Korea, and 31 from 12 other Asian countries. The main lectures were delivered by Pastor Ron Ward, who spoke on "Having faith in God" (Mark 11:20-25) and Joseph C., who preached on "Preaching the Word" (2 Timothy 4:1-22). Through these messages, missionaries and local shepherds learned about the power of faith, prayer, and forgiveness and were inspired to preach the Word.
God blessed the Opening Message, "With thanksgiving, present your requests to God" (Philippians 4:6,7) by M. Banseok L., and the Closing Message "The Word Endures" (1 Peter 1:22-25) by Vincent L. Additionally, a special lecture on the Book of Ezra was delivered by Nowon S. (for the Korean team) and M. Joshua H. (for the English team).
We were particularly moved by the dedication and teamwork exhibited by local Malaysian shepherd families (Vincent L., Ison H., and Ronny) during the conference. Next year's Asian Directors' Conference will be held in Sri Lanka from January 9th to 11th. We pray that God will bless the Asian missionaries for their faith to spread the Word and actively raise disciples in each country throughout the new year.
