Thinking Globally-Acting Locally
DA Hebeisen explains his vision for the Church in South East Asia in answering questions in an interview by OUR FAMILY magazine (Volume 55, No. 4, April 2009). One South East Asian Church under local leadership in oneness with the global Church. Dependency from Western World has no future, needed is a concept of “Self-Governance, Self-Proclamation, Self-Support”. A big challenge is the fast development in society, Livelihood concerns and an enormous mobility especially among the Youth which consists of the majority of newapostolic membership in SE-Asia, must be in focus. Secularism and individualism has reached Asia as well. On the other hand he sees still a great potential of growth and wishes that the enthusiasm of the days of missionary movements does not die out. He states, resources are limited, especially “missionary workers” are in shortage.
