OCZ008Asia's participants will have the opportunity to explore long-term mission opportunities from a different dimension by going on Journey 3-D."

"Journey 3-D will focus on taking participants from varied backgrounds (ie. singles, families, skilled workers, technicians, tentmakers, professionals, businessman, entrepreneurs, students) on a journey of discovery of God's call on their lives."

The OCZ008Asia conference will be held between July 12-17, 2008 in Peace Haven, Genting Highlands, Malaysia. After which, participants can step out to Cambodia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand, Japan, India and Taiwan for cross-cultural ministry.

"We are extremely excited as key leaders specialising in different areas will also be presenting mission opportunities around the world, " said Ting. "Out of the Comfort Zone Asia has benefited more than 200 persons since its inception. It has led many participants to be involved in missions by going, sending, serving, giving or praying."

Purpose: Out-of-the-comfort Zone Asia 2008 is a short-term mission exposure program that gives you the opportunity to experience first-hand reaching lives with the good news in East Asia. You will attend the OCZ008 Asia conference in July and step out on a 10-21 day road trip to the country of your choice. You will journey 3-D amongst the urban poor, the tribal people, the sick, destitute, refugees, children, people living with HIV/AIDS and unreached people groups. See God do the impossible.
Come on the Journey 3-D!

Two billion people. East Asia has a population of two billion people - and most of them have never heard of Jesus Christ. Of those who have heard His name, most of them do not know that He is the only way for them to know God and receive eternal life. Over 95% of them make no claim whatever to believe in Him or follow Him. These 2 billion comprise the world's largest concentration of unreached people - those who desperately need to hear that God loves them and Christ died for them. SUITABLE FOR COLLEGE GOING, WORKING ADULTS, INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES, CHURCH GROUPS. CHINESE & KOREAN TRANSLATION AVAILABLE.
