North Burma Christian Mission — Organization Profile
North Burma Christian Mission, also known as NBCM, is a Christian mission organization with roots reaching back to 1921. Its current public materials describe the ministry as a mission movement serving Southeast Asia through evangelism, discipleship, church planting, Bible training, literature, media, music, youth homes, community development, and deaf ministry. The organization’s stated vision is that millions in Asia would be eternally influenced for Christ through multiple outreach ministries.
The mission has a U.S. home-office mailing contact in Ponca City, Oklahoma, while its field work is centered in Thailand and broader Southeast Asia. The ministry’s history began with J. Russell and Gertrude Morse serving in Tibet and China, continued into Burma in the early 1950s, and later relocated to Thailand in 1972. Today, NBCM describes its work as extending across multiple countries, languages, and people groups in Asia.
NBCM operates through a team of missionaries and national coworkers. Its evangelistic work includes partnering with committed national preachers to evangelize, disciple, and plant churches among tribal and local people groups. Leadership training is another core area, with Bible training courses and Bible schools serving church leaders and members across many ethnicities and languages.
The mission also supports Christian literature and media in minority languages. Its literature department in Thailand translates, designs, and prepares Bibles, hymnbooks, and other Christian materials for more than a dozen people groups. Its media and music ministries create sermons, dramas, testimonies, Christian programs, hymnbooks, music recordings, and videos that can be shared through social media and local distribution channels.
NBCM’s holistic work includes youth homes, community development, business as mission, and deaf ministry. Youth homes provide safe housing during the school year so tribal children can receive formal education while remaining connected to Christian values and their cultural identity. Development work includes agriculture, infrastructure, health and sanitation, water projects, education, church planting, and relief assistance. Deaf ministry has included churches started in Chiang Mai that are now led by local leaders.
People can engage with North Burma Christian Mission by praying for the work, subscribing to missionary newsletters, supporting individual missionaries, giving by check to the general mission fund, and learning about specific field ministries through the mission team pages. Its distinct contribution is long-term, multi-generational Christian mission work among tribal and local communities in Southeast Asia, combining Gospel proclamation with leadership training, local-language resources, and practical community care.

Mekong Multiply, Inc. — Organization Profile
Mekong Multiply, Inc. is a Christian 501(c)(3) organization in Louisville, Kentucky, focused on multiplying disciples and churches in Southeast Asia. The organization exists to glorify Jesus by multiplying disciples and churches among unreached people groups in Southeast Asia and beyond. Its public theme is “Multiplying Disciples & Churches in Southeast Asia.”
The organization’s core focus is mobilizing national Christians as missionaries to unreached peoples in their own countries through reproducible disciple-making and church-planting approaches. Mekong Multiply’s stated passion is to see peoples who have never heard about Jesus receive the opportunity to become his passionate followers. Its ministry is shaped by a concern for unreached tribes and communities where people may have little or no access to the gospel.
Mekong Multiply serves Southeast Asia, with a regional focus on the eleven nations south of China and east of India. The organization identifies more than 700 unreached tribes in that region, with a combined population exceeding 330 million. Its public ministry areas include Laos, Myanmar, and Sumatra, Indonesia, along with the broader Southeast Asian region where Buddhism, Animism, Islam, and communist government contexts shape the mission field.
The ministry operates by recruiting, training, mobilizing, and coaching national missionaries. Mekong Multiply seeks to develop national missionary sending bases in Southeast Asian countries with significant numbers of unreached people groups. Its strategy emphasizes national missionaries who cross cultures within their own countries, engage unreached people groups, make disciples who reproduce, and help plant indigenous churches that can continue without dependence on outside workers.
A distinctive part of Mekong Multiply’s approach is supporting national missionary movements that plant reproducible churches among unreached people groups from within their own regional context. In Myanmar, the ministry works with experienced partners to recruit, train, and send national missionaries, including tentmaking preparation for self-sufficiency. In Laos, Launch Laos and The Final 58 focus on sending and sustaining national missionaries to reach remaining unengaged unreached people groups. In Sumatra, Shine Sumatra seeks to mobilize Indonesian national missionaries to reach unreached groups on the island.
People can engage with Mekong Multiply by giving, joining the newsletter, contacting the organization, exploring future mission opportunities, participating in prayer journeys, or taking the Get On Mission course. Get On Mission is a seven-session equipping course developed to help small groups, churches, and other participants engage the lost and unreached with the love and good news of Jesus. The ministry also invites people to consider full-time missionary service, short-term trips, and partnership in prayer and support.

Asian Children’s Mission — Organization Profile
Asian Children’s Mission is a Christian nonprofit ministry focused on caring for, protecting, and educating vulnerable children of Myanmar in the name of Jesus Christ. Commonly known as ACM, the ministry practices holistic Christian ministry, intentionally addressing both spiritual and physical needs through education, children’s homes, emergency aid, community development, and evangelism.
ACM is based in Ellettsville, Indiana, and serves children, families, churches, and communities in Myanmar, also known as Burma. The ministry’s work is carried out through native Myanmar staff members who lead programs in local contexts. ACM notes that Myanmar includes many ethnic people groups and that poverty is especially severe in remote areas. Its ministry also responds to displacement and instability connected to Myanmar’s civil conflict.
The organization began after its founder visited Myanmar in 2007 and committed to help open a home for children without a safe place to live. That children’s home opened in 2008 and remains part of ACM’s work. Since then, the ministry has expanded beyond orphan care into schools, relief operations, community development projects, and churches. ACM states that it now supports staff members in Myanmar who facilitate these efforts locally.
Education is a central part of ACM’s strategy. The ministry supports preschools, elementary education, and Joshua School, a program serving children with special needs in Myanmar. Its education work includes instruction for children from pre-K through high school and beyond, with particular concern for women and children facing poverty or limited opportunity. ACM also supports teachers who serve in remote areas and communities where educational access is limited.
ACM’s community development work includes the Samaritan Practical School of Nursing, Myanmar Community Development Center, Community Health Evangelism, vocational training, health clinic work, farm projects, and evangelist training. These programs are designed to strengthen families and communities so children can be fed, protected, educated, and discipled within healthier local environments.

The ministry also engages in emergency aid, refugee resettlement support, and evangelism.

People can engage with Asian Children’s Mission by praying, giving one-time or recurring gifts, following ministry updates, contacting the board, or supporting education, orphan care, community development, emergency relief, and evangelism among vulnerable children and families in Myanmar.

Asia Christian Services — Organization Profile
Asia Christian Services is a Christian mission organization focused on empowering indigenous Asian missionaries to reach the unreached, plant new churches, and disciple believers. Commonly known as ACS, the ministry is built on three generations of missionary work connected with the Morse family and began as an effort to support Asian Christian workers continuing gospel ministry in Southeast Asia.
ACS is based in Mason, Ohio, and its ministry work focuses on Southeast Asia, including Myanmar, Thailand, Northeast India, Laos, Bangladesh, and western China. The organization states that its work began in northern Myanmar and later expanded across borders as Asian missionaries carried the gospel into additional tribal, village, and regional contexts. Its approach emphasizes supporting local Christian workers who understand the languages, cultures, and ministry needs of the people they serve.
The mission’s history traces back to J. Russell and Gertrude Morse, who began missionary work in Tibet in 1921 and later served in western China and Burma. In 1966, LaVerne Morse established Asia Christian Services to support tribal Christian leaders who remained in Burma and continued missionary outreach. ACS reports that these workers planted churches, crossed tribal and language barriers, developed leadership training centers and Bible colleges, began radio broadcasts, and supported Bible translation and Christian literature in local languages.
ACS operates through several ministry areas, including evangelism, church planting, discipleship, training, relief, and assistance programs. The ministry supports indigenous efforts to share the gospel, encourages local evangelists who plant churches, helps strengthen believers in local congregations, and provides Bible-based teaching for pastors, evangelists, and Christian workers. ACS also identifies radio broadcasting, literature translation and preparation, village medical services, leadership training seminars, and personal visits with Asian partners as part of its ministry process.
The organization also responds to practical needs connected with displacement, disaster, and poverty. ACS describes relief and assistance programs that procure and distribute food, medicine, and basic supplies to refugees and displaced people. Its giving page and ministry updates connect donor support with evangelist support, new church planting, schools, orphanages, refugee relief, and disaster response. These efforts are presented as ways to serve communities while strengthening the work of local Christian leaders.
People can engage with Asia Christian Services by praying for Asian evangelists and Christian workers, giving financially, following ministry updates, signing up for newsletters, and sharing in support for projects across Southeast Asia. ACS encourages regular prayer for workers, political stability, peace, additional laborers, and the people of Myanmar and surrounding regions. Financial support helps provide resources for church planters, relief work, training, and ongoing ministry among unreached and under-resourced communities.
