Who We Are
The Asian Partnership Initiative (API) is committed to strengthening churches and Christian communities in Asia. We believe in walking alongside believers at all levels of society, whether in rural villages or urban centers, among the illiterate to the highly educated, or those struggling for basic survival to those seeking opportunities for growth.
-
Our Vision
To see self-sustaining, thriving Christian communities that are spiritually strong, socially empowered, and economically independent.
-
Our Mission
Our mission is to equip, empower, and elevate Christians so they can live with dignity, purpose, and hope. We catalyse efforts to break cycles of poverty, create opportunities, and strengthen faith—not just for today, but for generations to come.
Our Approach
We go beyond temporary solutions. API invests in long-term, systemic transformation at every level of society.
Holistic Transformation
From grassroots to leadership, we invest in holistic development that touches the spiritual, educational, economic, and social aspects of people's lives.
Community-Centered Unity
We focus on unity within communities, collaborating with local churches and organizations that are already deeply invested in their people’s welfare.
Long-Term Partnership
We are committed to walking alongside our partners —we don’t just help with one-time donations but create lasting, transformational relationships that build resilience in the face of challenges
Focus Areas
At API, we believe true transformation happens when every aspect of a person’s life is nurtured. Our work is rooted in five key focus areas that address the spiritual, social, and economic challenges faced by Christian communities across Asia. Whether it’s empowering local churches, equipping future leaders, fostering economic independence, or rebuilding lives after crisis—our holistic approach ensures that no one is left behind. Together, these pillars form the foundation of thriving, self-sustaining Christian communities.

Pakistan, with over 240 million people, is the world’s second-largest Muslim-majority country. Christians, who make up about 2% of the population, have faced marginalization and persecution. However, a new movement is emerging as young Christians break free from poverty, pursuing education, careers, and business opportunities.
The Pakistan Partnership Initiative (PPI), an implementing partner for API in Pakistan, works with churches and development organizations to uplift Christian communities, fostering unity and delivering measurable impact.
Testimonies of Trust
Hear PPI partners—churches, organizations, and individuals—share how collaboration has led to real, lasting change. Their stories are a testament to the trust, transformation, and shared vision we’re building together.
Every time we gather, there’s a tangible sense of God’s presence—rooted in unity and faith. PPI’s efforts to foster mutual respect among Church leaders—both within and beyond denominational lines—are truly remarkable. It’s creating a culture of togetherness the Church in Pakistan deeply needs
