REAP in Many Many Lands (RMML) Update
At MAP we continue to prioritize reaching the unreached in Asia through the Rural Evangelists Adoption Programme (REAP) targeting the unreached rural regions of Asia.
Since the inception of REAP in 2006 in rural China with the first 16 REAP China evangelists, we have expanded to 14 countries of Asia today with over 400 REAP supporters. The cumulative labour of these REAP evangelists together with the prayers of God’s people worldwide have seen as of July 2024 the following:
- Over 6.5 million received gospel tracts and verbal sharing
- Over 228,000 conversions to Christ
- Over 66,000 baptisms
- Over 2,300 rural churches planted, and
- Over 55,600 Bibles given to the new believers.
Praise be to God! Thanks to the faithful REAP supporters, the prayers of the saints, and the MAP team growing and managing the fruitful REAP Outreach in Asia.
The unfinished task in Asia calls for our continued prayers, support and sending more workers into the unreached fields. Asia’s population is projected to be 4.7 billion by 2025 with 66% (3.1 billion) of Asians living in the rural regions. The rurals of Asia remain one of the greatest challenge for world evangelization.
In October 2024, MAP plans to launch REAP among the Kurdish peoples in West Asia in partnership with a Malaysian missionary serving amongst them. MAP will coordinate the training materials. The cost of supporting 1 REAP Kurdistan evangelist is RM200 per month or RM2,400 per year as stipend.
