CBN ASIA, INC.
CBN Asia is a non-stock, non-profit corporation established in the Philippines in 1994. Its vision, mission and ministries are inspired by those of The Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), founded in the United States by Pat Robertson in 1960 and which is now one of the world’s largest multi-media Christian organizations.

THE MISSION
CBN Asia serves as a strategic organizational base for reaching Asia with the Gospel of Jesus Christ through mass media programs and community-based humanitarian-aid missions.

STRATEGY
CBN Asia undertakes several ministries in reaching Asian nations with the Gospel. Its major thrust is through The 700 Club Asia, a locally produced weeknight television program, as well as other TV specials that are viewed nationwide and in other countries in the Asian region. Its ministries include humanitarian aid and community development projects through Operation Blessing Foundation. The Asian Center for Missions enables reaching different people groups in Asia through the deployment of Asian cross-cultural missionaries.


ASIAN CENTER FOR MISSIONS
The Asian Center for Missions was formed in response to Christ’s call to “go and make disciples of all nations . . .” (Matthew 28:19). It is not exclusively a CBN Asia project, but an Asia-wide network for spreading the Gospel, comprised of the following ministries: Philippines for Jesus Movement (PJM), the Philippine Council of Evangelical Churches (PCEC), the Asian Seminary for Christian Ministries (ASCM), the International Bible Society, and other Asian church and fellowship groups.

THE MISSION
ACM’s vision is to train and send Asian missionaries to make disciples and plant churches among the unevangelized people groups of Asia.

STRATEGY
ACM’s unique missionary strategy is to train and deploy Asians as church-planting teams utilizing community development and other holistic ministries to reach the unevangelized.
