Mission Tales CAME-Reaching Asian Immigrants $50,000 About 16 million Asians live in North America today, and 97 percent of them are unchurched. They come from many countries-India, Laos, Japan, Korea, China, Vietnam-seeking the "American Dream," but what they need most is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The center for Asian Missions and Evangelism (CAME) has worked with many partners to plant 92 Asian mission stations in the past seven years. This mission grant will further CAME's ministry by helping train and mentor new Asian missionaries and evangelists, by producing outreach materials and by starting an Internet outreach in various Asian languages to proclaim the Gospel to 1 million Asian-Americans by 2008.
