Living Faith Asia

About Us

Our Vision

We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to hear and experience the good news of Jesus Christ. We work toward that through several avenues of outreach, leadership training, church planting, children and youth ministries and humanitarian projects.

Impact

Through Living Faith Asia countless people have come to experience the love and blessing of Christ. Helping poor mountain people with warm clothing for the winter, hosting medical teams to help those in remote locations, and various other projects Living Faith Asia has impacted the lives of many. Through our Life of Hope Children, the orphan and at-risk children have been loved, cared for and given a new future and a hope. We have helped hundreds of poor students also with their education providing a safe place for them to live. Through our leadership training and outreaches many leaders have been ministered to, trained and raised up. Church’s have been started in Thailand, Cambodia and Myanmar.

Why

There is great diversity and many needs in the developing countries of South East Asia. What we may consider a little help can really go a long way in improving the lives and living conditions of those of little means here. Whether that is fresh water for the village, medical help or warm clothing for winter months, that can make a world of difference to someone life here. Helping young people to be able to get an education is an important key to a better future. There are also the most vulnerable, the orphaned and unwanted children who need someone to love and care for them. Our focus goes beyond improving the temporal life. True and abundant life comes through knowing Jesus. We believe that everyone should at the very least have the opportunity to experience the love and hear the good news of Jesus Christ. Thailand is one of the countries with the least Christian witness in the world. As of February 2016, there were about 400,000 Thai or tribal Protestant believers in Thailand which is 0.7% of the 68 million population. Thailand has about 5,000 churches of which only about half have a full-time Christian worker of any sort. 62% of all the sub-districts which accounts for about 38 million people in 42,000 villages, towns and cities in Thailand have no church of any kind. While Myanmar and Cambodia have been experiencing significant new conversion growth in recent years they still lag very far behind the West and are in desperate need of much greater ministry and solid teaching.

History

History – The seeds of this ministry were started in 1980 when Allan Bay worked on a short 2 month mission with the Cambodian, Laos and Vietnamese refugees living in refugee camps in Thailand. Returning to his home in Canada the seeds for helping the peoples of South East Asia grew until in 1988 Allan relocated to Thailand to first start working with the Thai people and then the surrounding nations. Allan and his wife Siriton have 3 children Joel, Amos and Arisa.
