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.
