South Asia Region Compass Points

Compass \Com"pass\, n. [navigational instrument for finding directions; the eight points to the compass are N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW] In changing times, our eight SAR Compass Points have a way of reorienting, reassuring, and even realigning us lest we stray from the purposes that help shape and define our direction.

Compass Point No. 1

"Our Vision" is that the glory of God would cover South Asia as the waters cover the sea! We magnify God's glory by living Christ-like lives and by multiplying new life in Jesus Christ.

Compass Point No. 2

"Our Mission" is to join God's mission of multiplying new life in Christ by stimulating and nurturing Church Planting Movements among every people group and mega-city in South Asia. We pursue CPMs because they are the most efficient means for multiplying God's glory.

Compass Point No. 3

"Our Clients" - The Lost. Our clients are the unreached peoples, mega-cities and population segments of South Asia. We long for and live for the day when they will all praise and glorify Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord.

Compass Point No. 4

"Our Role" - God's Agents. We are the means by which God achieves His vision and are honored to be His agents, to be used by Him to reach a lost world. God uses many agents to multiple His glory, and we align ourselves with those who seek to achieve His vision.
