Assam Asian Ministries

The Assam Asian Ministry was founded by Leishiyo Shimray in 2001. Leishiyo and Grace joined Vision2020Asia and IGM in 2009. At that time, Pastor Leishiyo described his ministry as follows:

"By the grace of God, we have planted twenty-five independent Baptist churches in Northeast India and neighboring countries; people are being saved every day and many have taken water baptism through our mission. We have conducted Bible studies in many places to start a new church. Fifty house churches have been waiting, praying and requesting the building of small shelters for their churches to meet on Sundays. We have fifteen pastors and seventeen missionaries working with us. The ministry also includes a school called Asian Academy English School."
