Seth Kim, a pastor in Hong Kong, is the co-founder of Arise Asia, a next generation ministry that seeks to “take the gospel where there is no gospel.”

He is also a graduate of the Movement Day Scholars Program and appreciates the impact it has had on his life and ministry. Seth summarizes that impact with “the three Cs.”

“The Scholars Program gave me: a common language with other people who are trying to reach their cities; a community of like-minded people who love their cities; and a connectedness to a global community.”

Through a new partnership with Movement.org, Arise Asia will present the Scholars Program vision at all of its major events in the coming years. At Arise Asia conferences, some attendees will opt to serve abroad in missions, but for the 80-90% who do not, the Movement Day Scholars Program will give them an opportunity to study to be catalytic leaders right in their own cities.

“The Scholars Program will help train some of these young people learn how to love their city, serve their city, and meet the needs of the city,” he said. “It can grow exponentially over the next 10 years across Asia.”
