SOM Asia
Asia is the least-reached regions for the Gospel in the world. It is also in the top for persecution against its small minority of Christians. In 2011, SOM USA assisted the first church planting school within the SOM International network. In 2012, the SOM Asia Director established SOM Asia with a heart to serve persecuted Christians and advance the Gospel.
Ladies’ sewing discipleship schools were also established, training widows in the skill of sewing and biblical discipleship.
As of 2023, there are twenty-seven church planting schools and twenty-seven sewing discipleship schools operating twice a year, commissioning these leaders to reach the remotest areas of Asia.

Dabak’s Testimony
My name is Dabak and I grew up in a strong Hindu home. My life was transformed five years ago. I am now involved in full time ministry. In India, there is a village totally dominated with a belief system where people think they can experience potential and strength in them if they do a lot of chanting, meditation and mind tricks. The major chanting system is influenced from Buddhism and Hinduism. People are practicing both. They practice various chanting’s for various things, such as family life, children, peace, rearing animals, protection from evil and cursing their enemies whom they do not like.
