Welcome to Kaohsiung, Taiwan—the harbor of revival, where Taiwan is stepping out into the nations! Over the past two years, we have witnessed God’s miraculous works in Malaysia and Indonesia, where kingdom leaders have gathered, igniting a spirit of unity among the churches. With this shared vision, the pastors of the Kaohsiung Gospel Alliance (KGA) have come together in unity to carry forward the torch of the "Impact Asia Summit" vision. We are excited to open Kaohsiung’s doors and welcome all the faithful kingdom leaders. In this rapidly changing world, we will gather for four days and three nights at the international summit, seeking renewal and transformation in the Lord, setting sail into deeper waters by faith, and advancing the Great Commission together.
Four hundred years ago, the gospel first touched Kaohsiung’s shores, spreading from the south to the north. Through healthcare and education, it transformed Taiwanese society, expanded the church’s outreach, and helped Taiwan step onto the global stage. The flame of the 2024 Impact Asia Summit will travel from Taipei, crossing the Tamsui River, over mountains, through the Zhuoshui River, into Tainan’s Anping Port, and finally arriving at Kaohsiung’s harbor—a gospel hub. This journey symbolizes the return of the Impact Asia flame to Kaohsiung, where it will light the city's gospel beacon, preparing us to cast our nets into deeper waters and set sail from Asia to the world.
After much prayer and reflection, the KGA pastors have embraced the vision led by Dr. Timothy Cheng, CEO of the Impact Asia Center. We firmly believe this is a pivotal opportunity to bless the Kingdom. Though the task ahead may seem daunting, we are committed to taking on the challenge, trusting that in Christ, we will see the Lord’s faithfulness and power unfold, allowing us to play a vital role in His great work for this generation.
We pray that all kingdom leaders attending this year’s summit will encounter God’s heart in every message. We look forward to deepening relationships, fostering meaningful connections, and linking kingdom resources, creating new opportunities for collaboration. Together, on this shared journey of learning, we strive to embrace innovation, transformation, and forward-thinking approaches to meet the challenges of our time.
May "Mobilizing the Church into Society to Become a Transformative Force for Global Impact" become more than just a slogan—it must be the tangible mission of the 2024 International Summit!
