Championing the Asian voice has been a mandate of the RICE Movement since its inception. We believe in the power of conversation and understanding between cultures - that rich and deep understanding of the gospel happens when we see and celebrate the ways in which many different cultures have shaped our identity as Christians.
With the rise of Asia, RICE Movement recognizes the strategic opportunity that lies before us for local Asians in the diaspora i.e. Asians Between Cultures that have a connection and ancestry back to Asia to connect with this emerging generation who are the influencers and leaders of tomorrow. We consider this a God given opportunity to use for God’s kingdom.
Join us as we explore what it means to be Asians between cultures, growing up in the west and the powerful and unique voice that God has us in this season!
“Looking away to that vast empire from which our Chinese fellow-citizens have come, we see the fields already whitening to the harvest. On all sides, too we see unmistakeable signs of the stirring of a new national life, called forth by contact between East and West, and destined, at no distant date, it maybe, to carry bane or blessing to the world…here and now lies a unique opportunity before us”
