290. Lessons from the Road: Asia

Join Andy Mason as he shares fresh insight from his recent travels across Malaysia, Singapore, and Japan. From getting stuck in a glass elevator in Kuala Lumpur to discovering the unseen hunger for connection in Tokyo’s packed trains, this episode highlights what God is doing across Asia—and what it’s stirring in us. You’ll hear stories of exploding churches, underground faith movements, sushi adventures, and the sobering realization of how unreached much of Asia remains. Tune in for a real-time reflection on what it looks like to partner with God in unfamiliar places and what this means for how we engage, lead, and pray.
