Our passion is to see peoples who have never heard about Jesus be given the opportunity to become his passionate followers.
Jesus said that this gospel of the kingdom would be shared as a testimony to all nations, and his most outspoken disciple wrote that God wants no one to perish but all to come to repentance. That was Jesus’s mission and his heart. His mission is our passion. His heart is our heart.
Our primary approach in joining God’s mission is to mobilize national Christians as missionaries to the unreached peoples in their own countries in Southeast Asia, to engage each one with reproducible approaches leading to the multiplication of disciples and churches until all are reached.

2 Peter 3:9b
Matthew 24:14
Connecting these two verses shows us that God’s eyes are on the unreached, and if our eyes are on him, then our eyes will also be drawn to the unreached. We, too, desire that none perish but that all hear the good news and have an opportunity to repent and be saved.
Mekong Multiply is working with experienced partners in Myanmar to recruit, train and send out national missionaries to the unreached people groups of this beautiful country. Each of these workers are trained in a tentmaking skill to become self-sufficient over the first three years of deployment while they engage their unreached communities with the fruitful practices of multiplication movements and indigenous church planting.
Mekong Multiply is launching this effort to mobilize Indonesian national missionaries to reach the remaining unreached people groups on the island of Sumatra with the good news of Jesus, to plant reproducible churches, and to multiply disciples, igniting movements to Christ.
Mekong Multiply’s region of focus is on the eleven nations that lie south of China and east of India. This part of the map is often overlooked but makes up one of the spiritually darkest parts of the world. The region is dominated by three of the world’s major religious blocs—Buddhism, Animism, and Islam—with Indonesia being the most populous Muslim nation on earth. Southeast Asia also has two of the world’s five remaining communist countries in Laos and Vietnam. The unreached people of these nations divide into more than 700 tribes with a population totaling over 330 million, exceeding that of the entire United States.
Mekong Multiply helped launch this effort to mobilize Lao national missionaries to reach the remaining unengaged unreached people groups in Laos. National missionaries are being equipped as evangelists and church planters and sent out from as many as five different clandestine sending bases in this restricted access nation. Despite the prospect of persecution and arrest, the gospel has penetrated hundreds of unreached villages and tribes as a result of this effort.
