Asia Pacific Campus Challenge

Touching the Future... On Campus Today.

Asia Pacific Campus Challenge, in partnership with Assembles of God national churches across the region, and in keeping with the heartbeat of the Father "that none perish," is dedicated to the task of reaching every Asia Pacific youth with the Gospel during their academic careers.

Our strategy is to challenge workers to the task of youth and campus ministries, and in turn see them trained and equipped for effective ministry to this generation. This will be expressed within a framework of dependency upon the Holy Spirit through prayer in order to provide relevant ministry to an ever-changing youth culture.

Major evangelistic effort across the region is accomplished in partnership with the Book of Hope International. This scripture portion of the life of Christ is presented in age-appropriate magazine formats for children and youth throughout the Asia Pacific region.
