Asia Pacific International — Organization Profile
Asia Pacific International is a Christian mission organization focused on transforming lives and communities in Southeast Asia through church-centered service, education, livelihood training, health initiatives, and disaster relief. The organization is also identified as Asia Pac International and Asia Pacific International–A Christian Mission. Its public materials describe the ministry as a nonprofit that exists to help communities improve quality of life by teaching practical skills that allow people to thrive.
The organization is based in Thousand Oaks, California, and serves communities in Southeast Asia, with historic ministry connected especially to Indonesia. Asia Pacific International’s history traces back to the late 1960s, when Chuck and Nanci Wingerner responded to a call to bring the good news to Indonesia. The ministry states that it has served Southeast Asian communities for more than 50 years, with thousands of lives affected through its work.
Asia Pacific International’s work includes education programs that support online learning, early academic and character-building skills, and computer skills for youth. These efforts are designed to help children and young people gain foundational abilities that can strengthen future opportunities. The ministry’s educational approach is practical and community-oriented, connecting learning with long-term community development rather than limiting service to short-term aid.
The organization also works in livelihood development. Its public materials list micro-business education and training, sustainable agriculture, animal business opportunities, culinary and sewing skills for women, and technology skills for men. These programs reflect a strategy of equipping local people with usable skills that can support families, encourage local enterprise, and increase resilience in under-resourced communities.
Health and relief are also part of Asia Pacific International’s ministry. The organization identifies medical clinics and disaster relief among its areas of impact. These efforts are presented as part of a broader mission to serve practical needs while strengthening communities. The ministry invites supporters to contact its team for more information about partnership and ongoing work in Southeast Asia.
People can engage with Asia Pacific International by praying for its work, giving financially, contacting the ministry for more information, and exploring partnership opportunities.
