About Internships in the Mekong Region

  • Our vision - by God's grace - is to see the development of global prayer movements for Mekong's unreached people groups trusting God for an indigenouse, biblical church movement in each of these groups, evangelising their own peoples and reaching out in mission to others
  • East Asia is home to a diversity of people groups and religions - Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam and various animistic beliefs
  • In the greater Mekong River region, which flows from the Himalayas to the Vietnam delta, there are some 200 million people across hundreds of minority people groups, which largely follow an animistic lifestyle - they have not yet had a chance to open their hearts to God
