About this Event
How will they hear?
Our next-door neighbour. Canadians everywhere. People around the world, including vast areas of East Asia … people need Christ. But how will they find faith if no one goes to tell them?
Heart for Asia 2026 brings stories, learning, and opportunities to participate in Jesus’ call to preach the gospel to all creation.
Join us to hear the creative ways God is working, in East Asia and here at home in Canada. Come see how we – you, our fellowships, our churches, all of us together – can participate in this glorious task.
Faith comes from hearing the message … through the word about Christ.
—Romans 10:17Heart for Asia 2026 ...
