Purpose and Vision

HistoryMakers is the youth division of AsiaLink, a Christian mission agency connecting churches with ministry among the unreached peoples of Asia. Our work includes helping indigenous church leaders to direct their own outreach among Asia’s least-reached peoples. AsiaLink helps support evangelists and church-planters in some of the region’s most inaccessible areas including practically helping those suffering as a direct result of their ministry. We respond with relief and community development projects among unreached people groups where the ultimate focus of the aid includes evangelism and church planting. We print and distribute Bibles and evangelistic literature in restricted access areas. 

WHY WE DO IT:

The Last Frontier

The command is to make disciples of all ethnic peoples, not simply countries. AsiaLink is passionate about unreached nations, that is ethnic groupings. Some are huge - with millions of people. Others are just a few score members. This is where the Bible’s focus lies.

Asia is home to the largest percentage of unreached people groups

The Arab, Buddhist, Communist and Hindu countries of Asia are considered to be among the least reached on earth, with millions who've never even heard of Christ. Oswald Smith famously said: “We talk of the second coming, half the world has never even heard of the first”. Places like Tibet, Maldives, N.Korea and Laos host some of the most unevangelized people on earth.

Imbalance

There are only around 110,000 missionaries in the world. Of those, just 3% work among the least-reached. Of all donations within the church worldwide, less than 0.1% are concentrated on these. Something is not right. Even though Asia contains the majority of untouched places on the planet, the overwhelming majority of the protestant mission force and funding is aimed elsewhere. The imbalance needs correcting.

Non-western dominance

Although Asia is largely unreached, there are believers in and around some of the world’s most inaccessible places. They are vital because of their effectiveness - local believers are often far better positioned to begin the work of evangelising their own people than we are. Our history of ministry has shown us just how amazing indigenous missions can be.

Jesus said "Go!"

Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation, affirms this - the Gospel must go into all the world before Christ will return (Matt 24:14). World missions is at the centre of God's plan for His glory. (Gen 12:3, Luke 24:47, 1 John 2:2, Rev 7:9).

HOW WE DO the youth ministry, HISTORYMAKERS:

Impact

There are few better ways to impact people than through well-planned short-term trips. These range from delivering Bibles into restricted access areas to distributing tracts at beaches, through cities, in jungles or on the Himalayas. Others commit themselves to pray for those on the teams.

Partnership

A big part of what we do is right here in the UK and Ireland. Holding meetings, large conferences, small group studies, seminars and workshops are avenues for us to inform, inspire, challenge and encourage youth to be God-centered and global Christians.

Inspiration

Inspired Christians are active Christians. We need to be busy in prayer and in reaching the lost. Powerful media can touch thousands of hearts, inspiring action and obedience to the Great Commission. Historymakers provides cutting edge videos.
