New President Announced for Asian Access

[Click here for a video introduction to Joe Handley.]

Joseph W. Handley, Jr. to lead Asian Access into fifth decade

GLENDORA, CALIFORNIA (A2) | June 16, 2008

President Joe Handley
Joe Handley becomes the fourth president of Asian Access in its 41-year history. The new president starts on June 30, 2008.

Asian Access, an evangelical mission organization announced today that its board of directors has named Joseph W. Handley, Jr., 43, as the organization’s fourth president, set to begin June 30, 2008.

The board of directors noted Joe Handley’s tremendous missions experience and abilities as key factors in their decision. Chairman Ron McMahon stated:

“The board of directors was unanimous. We really like this man that God has brought to us. One of the key factors for the board was to find a person that had the right chemistry for Asian Access—that he and his wife Silk would fit well with the staff family—as well as the capabilities for the role. We feel God has clearly blessed us with Joe Handley.”

Handley has served for nearly a decade as Associate Pastor of Outreach at Rolling Hills Covenant Church (www.rollinghillscovenant.org), a large evangelical church in Southern California committed to sharing the Gospel both locally and globally. During his tenure, the church planted several churches in the region and overseas, developed a local compassion ministry, and the number of missions participants nearly doubled. Previously, Handley established the Office of World Mission at Azusa Pacific University (Azusa, California), which mobilized hundreds of college students for global mission trips.

At its May 13 meeting, the Asian Access board extended the invitation to Joe Handley, and after carefully considering the call, Handley accepted the new post. In a family letter to Asian Access staff dated June 7, Handley wrote:

New Book Aimed at Japanese Business People

Asian Access board member Toshio Maehara examines OT leaders to share principles of business

TOKYO, JAPAN (A2) | December 3, 2007

Pastor Toshio Maehara
Toshio Maehara has just published a new book about biblical principles of business.

Toshio Maehara released his new book today at a dinner celebration in downtown Tokyo sponsored by publisher Word Of Life Press. The book, entitled "Business Principles From The Bible," explores seven Old Testament leaders to share important lessons with this fairly unreached segment of the Japanese population. OT businessmen studied are Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Solomon and Job.

Maehara, a Japanese businessman himself, serves as president of Maehara & Associates based in southern California. In addition, he is founding pastor of Gospel Venture International Church (Torrance, CA) and brings this unique blend of pastoring and business experience into his writing.

Among his many roles, Pastor Maehara is also a valued member of the Asian Access board of directors.

MALAYSIA (Mission Network News) - March 28, 2007

It started in Japan in 1967 as the Language Institute for Evangelism. It later became LIFE Ministries. Now it's known as Asian Access.

A2|40th AnniversaryAsian Access has gathered more than 150 of their workers from across Asia to celebrate what God has done. Speaking from Malaysia, the President of Asian Access Doug Birdsall says the growth has been phenomenal. "Over the course of the past 40 years the ministry has grown from Japan to reach across Asia. And we've got all of our people here from Japan across to India, from Mongolia in the North to Sri Lanka in the south."

While they're excited about the number of people turning to Christ and the number of churches planted, Birdsall says challenges in the form of persecution are growing, especially in areas like...

Outsourcing to India presents outreach opportunities

INDIA (Mission Network News) - March 8, 2007

Outsourcing telemarketing, technical support and other call center activities from North America and Europe to India has created an economic boon for the country.

Gurgaon, a satellite city of New Delhi, is just one area that's thriving. Buildings are going up quickly and drawing many young employees. They've become the focus of outreach for Asian Access trained pastors.

Speaking from India, Asian Access' David Dayalan, says it's a 'call center culture.' "It been the past five years since we've had the call center culture. In fact, those of us who are based in an urban setting, all of us have been trying all ways (and) methods to..."

Japan church planting faces unique challenges

JAPAN (Mission Network News) - December 27, 2006

Japan broke two postwar taboos last week, as its Parliament voted to bring patriotism back into the classroom and to expand the status and mission of its military forces. These are efforts to rebuild national pride and end six decades of constitutionally enforced pacifism.

Peter Thomson  
Peter Thomson serves as Director of Missionary Personnel in Japan  

It's unclear what this will mean for the church, in Japan, but many are hoping it teaches them to be bold in their faith.

Director of Missionary Personnel in Japan for Asian Access is Peter Thomson. He says that pacifism affects the church. "Many churches have a very 'survival' mentality..."

Political Changes Highlight Spiritual Changes; Asian Access provides connection
for the Church in Nepal

God is doing a special work in Asia through nationals with hearts to spread the Gospel.

NEPAL (Mission Network News) - December 27, 2006

Bruce Johnson  
Bruce Johnson serves as VP for Leadership Development  

Nepal has seen incredible political changes in the past year. Last April, the country went from an absolute monarchy to a constitutional democratic government, moving from the world's only Hindu kingdom to a secular nation. In November, the government and the Maoist rebels brokered a peace treaty to end over a decade of civil war.

"These kinds of changes happening across that region (are) just phenomenal," says Bruce Johnson with Asian Access, "and again it's without tremendous civil wars just upheaving those countries, but allowing basically a fairly peaceful turnover into a democratic society."

Pro-active evangelism vision takes on fast growing church in Asia.

Asian Access in the News

Asia (MNN) -- 85-percent of the world's unbelievers live in Asia. As the Gospel penetrates, the church is growing faster than leaders can be trained. That has resulted in cults and heresies.

Asian Access' Doug Birdsall says four decades ago, they recognized the potential of the Asian church body and began making an investment in the future of the church in Asia. "This is a microcosm of the global church, as we now know it. The idea was to connect them, to develop them, to inspire them, to resource them as the next generation of leaders in the...

Jeffery & Akiko Sonnenberg7th Church Joins Church Planting Network in Okinawa

OKINAWA, JAPAN | Jeffery & Akiko Sonnenberg, Church Planting Missionaries

Good reports are emerging about the churches in the new Okinawa church planting network. The second network will bring more churches, but fewer missionaries together for this venture. The vision for church multiplication is growing in Okinawa! Pastors boldly want to multiply their churches to reach Japan and Asia for Christ. Several of the network pastors come with experience in birthing daughter churches and their desire is to learn and improve what their churches are already doing. Others come with a desire to see their churches multiply. And the network is growing. A seventh church has just joined!

Tim ClarkThe Time Has Come

SAPPORO, JAPAN | Tim Clark, Hokkaido Area Leader

Rev. Hiroshi Kawasaki [National Director, Asian Access/Japan] and I met with the pastoring couple of a cell church in Sapporo to discuss the formation of our next church multiplication network in Hokkaido. This church was planted thirty years ago and transitioned to cell groups through Asian Access 11 years ago. This couple is very interested in not just being a part of the network but even playing a leadership role. The pastor shared, 'I've heard Pastor Kawasaki talk about these Church Multiplication networks for years. But we have been pouring all our energy into developing cells locally. But now, the time has come to move forward with Asian Access to develop a CM network!"

Japan: Filling the God Vacuum

A Report from CBN News

TOKYO (CBN News) - December 18, 2006

By Sarah Pollak

Contrary to popular belief, Japan is far from being a "reached" country with a growing, vibrant church. In fact, Japan has fewer baptized believers in Jesus Christ than some Muslim countries.

Christianity in Japan has faced an uphill battle for hundreds of years. Religious freedom didn't come to the island nation until around the time of America's civil war.
