Jesus said, “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
2,000 years later these words still are echoing to the four corners of the earth. Believers throughout all of Asia have heard the call and are crying out for the power of the Holy Spirit. Why are they crying out for this power? Asian believers are crying out for the boldness and power of the Holy Spirit so that they can reach the over 2 billion Asians who do not know Christ or His saving grace. Two billion! In one of the most persecuted regions in the world, God is at work that all may hear and know that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Empowered21 Asia in Jakarta, Indonesia has proven to be a catalyst for this movement. We are seeing God move in such a mighty an powerful way. We have delegates from 49 countries throughout Asia. We have delegates from such countries as Malaysia, China, Vietnam, North and South Korea, and Indonesia just to name a few.
E21 Asia is an historic event in many ways, first, we are in the largest Muslim nation in the world with a group of over 9,000 believers coming together to worship and declare that Jesus is Lord and His love is available for all who desire it. Secondly, we are launching the NGYN21 (Next Generation Youth-Leaders Network) in Asia. We are expecting over 500 next generation/youth leaders to connect and be a apart of a massive global initiative that will unite next generation and youth leaders worldwide, Lastly, we have assembled an event that has gathered delegates from over 45 nations and crossed national, ethnic and cultural and generational lines to see men and women come together to worship Jesus Christ.
Empowered21 Asia consists of seventy-two learning tracks and several general sessions to which those participating can engage with Lord. We are seeing people who are being baptized in the Holy Spirit and growing in their relationship with the Lord. We are seeing a giant arise from its sleep. We are seeing the continent of Asia being shaken by the power of Christ by the working of the Holy Spirit and we are seeing the beginnings of what is going to be one of the greatest harvests this world has ever seen!
