List of Southeast Asia Missionaries

The BIMI designated area of Southeast Asia consists of countries that could be categorized under Oceania, Indochina and India. There are seventy-two BIMI missionaries serving (or on deputation) in fourteen of these countries. Approximately 125 churches have been established. BIMI missionaries have either established or help establish and taught in some sixteen Bible schools or Christian schools. Many national graduates have gone out to established churches.

Camp Gary in Papua, New Guinea has its own property with several adequately constructed cabins. This ministry is conducted by Jim and Carol Stackhouse and Lewis and Shirley Guthrie. Trained national counselors are used in this ministry that is seeing many young boys and girls and teenagers come to Christ.

Also seeing great results are four orphanages/children's homes in two countries. For example, two work teams from the States built the Children's Home facility in Mysore, India to house children who had lost parents in the Tsunami of 2004. This was the largest tsunami in modern history.

Another "blessing" that came out of this tsunami tragedy was the Nias Bible Project. Over $136,000 dollars came in to BIMI to print Bibles at $3.00 a piece in the Indonesian language to give out to every middle school student on the island of Nias. Some funds were sent to the missionaries themselves. One team went over in July of 2008 and a second one in January of 2009. A total of 49,000 Bibles were given out to 217 schools. A clear Gospel message was presented to the entire teacher/student body in the schools where the students attended. Some schools had their students go to nearby schools or sent representatives to collect boxes of Bibles to bring back to their particular schools. Nias needs some full time missionaries to go there and invest their lives to reach these precious souls with the message of Christ.

The BIMI missionaries serving in the countries of this area designated Southeast Asia are dedicated and faithful to the Lord Jesus Christ with a sincere love for the people. Oh, that God would call laborers to even double the number of countries for BIMI missionaries in this region of the world where millions upon millions live in darkness. We have The Word that will bring them out of that darkness into the Light.
