“Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of His household” (Ephesians 2:19)
ACA (Asia Christian Association) was established to unite Christians in Asian countries before God, to honor one another as members of the family of God with Jesus as the eldest brother, and to share the gospel with one another. We are an interdenominational Protestant Christian organization rooted in the “family of God” as preached by the Apostle Paul in Ephesians 2:19 of the New Testament.
The organization explores the culture of God’s Kingdom with Christians in Asian countries and serves as a platform to contextualize and build up the culture of God’s Kingdom in various areas, including family, church, and marketplace.
