We have been mentored by Bjørn & Sasina for some years, we felt lost and unsure of our purpose. We grew up in different parts of Thailand with different backgrounds. Through Outreach Asia, we learned about the Word of God, leadership, and how to live a Christian life. Now, we’re pastoring a church in Chiang Mai Thailand. We’re a local church and share the Gospel with other young people in our community. This mentoring have help us in our life to go with the calling of God for our life.

A Message From The Founder
My name is Bjorn Thore Johansen and I’m the founder of Outreach Asia. I have worked in Asia for more than 15 years, in business development and mission.
The whole concept for Outreach Asia is to help young leaders to become a gamechanger in their own nations, with all respect to the missionaries who have traveled with a one-way ticket and given their life on the mission fields.
We have been working in Nepal, Sri Lanka and Thailand for many years and have learned the culture and respect it. It makes us able to reach the young leaders in these nations.
Things is changing and the world is spinning faster, and we need to cope with that. What we’re doing is to train people in their own countries to reach their own nation.
They already speak the langue, know the culture, eat the local food and know how to communicate. Special with the young generation, who live in a digital world.
What are we doing? We take young leaders into an intense leader training program for 4 weeks.
We live, teach and mentoring them to be the leaders God want them to be. Vi give the tools to lead and develop Christian work in the Kingdom of God and in the profane world.
Not everyone is called to be a Pastor, many of the are called to witnesses at the marketplace.
We are a non-profit organization, our team travel and teaching on their own expenses and have other jobs who support them.
You can be a part of this great mission and partner with us in the last great mission.
We take the last word from Jesus seriously: Matthew 28, 18- 20, To disciple the nations.
Please become a partner with us to fulfill His last command.
