Southeast Asia

The Need Is Great. The Opportunity Is Greater.

Our Southeast Asia field is home to more than 1.46 billion people, making it one of the most densely populated and spiritually needy regions in the world. While Christianity continues to grow, followers of Christ represent only a small percentage of the population, and the vast majority have never heard a clear presentation of the Gospel.

Thousands of faithful pastors and church leaders serve throughout this region, many with little or no formal biblical training and few ministry resources. Shepherding the Nations exists to come alongside these leaders by providing sound biblical education, discipleship, and encouragement so they can faithfully shepherd their churches and teach the next generation of Christian leaders.

Our First Field

Our ministry began with ministry partners in SE Asia in 2004. What began with a vision trip to one country and ministry with native pastors has grown into a growing movement throughout this region to teach those with the least resources available to them to be effective pastors, church-planters and ministry leaders.

We are currently training pastors and ministry leaders in India, Bangladesh and Nepal.
