Asian Outreach Canada

Projects

One of Asian Outreach Canada's core values is the development of indigenous programs. In other words, AO Canada seeks to establish projects that meet actual local needs. Because Asia is so diverse and the needs vary from country to country, the programs initiated by our field offices are also diverse.

At this point in time, AO Canada has chosen to focus our funding efforts on four project countries: Mongolia, Cambodia, Thailand and China.

Guided by our conviction that holistic social transformation is an essential goal of each project, reflecting what we call our "heart and hand" approach. Each country project has a multi-year lifespan and clearly defined objectives. This enables us to monitor and report on the projects so that donors are informed and results are measurable.

Needs on the field are always changing, so the focus of our work also needs to change. As current projects near the end of their term, new Canadian projects will be developed from the initiatives we receive from our field offices in Asia. In the future, new country projects will be developed with other AOI fields.

Concern for Cambodia
Year Zero was 1975, the year Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge army began their reign of terror. The atrocities of the next four years broke the social and moral fabric of the country. Two million people, one quarter of the population, were murdered or died of starvation. Since then, devastating floods, resulting food shortages and ongoing political and social instability have only deepened Cambodian’s sense of hopelessness. Some of the realities in Cambodia today are:

The China Project

Concern for China
China is a nation of contrasts. Within her borders you’ll find tremendous wealth and horrendous poverty. She boasts both the hottest technology and the saddest, primitive social conditions. 1.3 billion people call China home. That’s better than 1/5 of the world’s population!

The Mongolia Project

Concern for Mongolia
In 1989, according to global missions statistics, there may have been as few as 4 Christians in the entire country of Mongolia. In 1990 the walls of communism fell and today there is a growing Mongolian church. Thousands of Mongolians have accepted Christ. Each year, dozens of churches are planted by Christians who are zealous in their new found faith. These young Christians need Biblical and practical training. The churches being planted need a strategy to become self-supporting. Leaders need bibles and literature in their own language.

The Thailand Project

Concern for Thailand
Thailand is an intriguing country. Beautiful scenery, a quick smile, spicy food. On the surface it may appear that all is well. Yet there is great concern for the spiritual wellbeing of the Thai people. After more than 160 years of evangelical missions, less than 1% of 62 million people are Christians.
