The mission of ASAP Ministries is to empower local missionaries to restore and disciple the marginalized with the wholistic gospel in preparation for Jesus’ soon return. These “local missionaries” include not only those serving overseas among the poor, persecuted, unreached and refugees of the 10/40 Window, but also those who are willing to take sacrificial initiative for Christ and become cross-cultural missionaries to members of these same marginalized people groups living right here in North America. We consider the GYC Convention as a prime opportunity to connect with mission-minded youth and young professionals and engage them in this work, which the Spirit of Prophecy calls “a divinely appointed means of rapidly extending the third angel’s message into all the nations of earth” (The Review and Herald, 10/29/1914).
