Known As The Way

About

A movement of followers of Christ, being the family of God throughout SE Asia.

Known As The Way was founded in SE Asia with the goal of reaching people with the Gospel through social justice, discipleship, and church planting.

Our hopes and dreams for The Way, is that we would live our lives so in line with the gospel of Jesus Christ while being led by the power of the Holy Spirit, that we would look like one big family that everyone wants to be a part of (John 13:34-35). In this big family we would continue to follow Christ's great commandments, Loving God and loving our neighbors (Matt 22:36-40).

Statements of Faith and Doctrine Ministry updates

Acts 29 Network

Known As The Way belongs to the Acts 29 Network, a peer-to-peer association of churches around the world called and committed to the Gospel through church planting. Acts 29 is not a denomination, but a network of like-minded pastors who are dedicated to planting local, missional, Christ-centered communities to effectively reach the next generation. Acts 29 is also a network of pastors from around the nation and world whose dream is to help qualified leaders called by God to plant new churches and replant declining churches.

Note: Known As The Way is in no way affiliated with, part of, or out of The Way International. We felt we needed to clarify this for anyone interested in knowing more about us due to the confusion, heresy and cult behavior of The Way International. Please read our statements of faith and doctrinal beliefs if you have any questions as to who we are, or where we stand on issues.

But this I confess to you, that according to the Way, which they call a sect, I worship the God of our fathers, believing everything laid down by the Law and written in the Prophets, having a hope in God, which these men themselves accept, that there will be a resurrection of both the just and the unjust.

Acts 24:14-15

Mission

We bring glory to God by being the family of God on mission to serve our world by displaying His love and Glory.

Emergency Relief Work

Every couple of months there are many causes that create refugees and IDPs without access to food, shelter or clean water. We get the great privilege of working alongside local leaders to help bring in aid to these people in difficult situations.

Community and Child Development

We work in 2 main areas now alongside other NGOs and ministries to help in community transformation and child development. We believe that the gospel not only transforms the hearts of individuals, but also communities as a whole.

Traditional Pastoral Equipping

The majority of traditional pastors are steeped in poor theological training and often desire to build man's (their own) kingdom, not God's. We try to unbind this stronghold by loving and training them in Christ-centered approaches to ministry.

Watch The Way in action

And Jesus came and said to them, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.

Matt 28:18-20

Team

Aaron

Visionary Servant

Aaron is the lead visionary behind The Way and lives his life with his family on mission, each day where God has placed them. With a background in starting multiple businesses, as well as 10 years of discipling men, women and children, he was called to come use those gifts and talents in the lands of SE Asia approximately 7 years ago after living a similar missional life in the United States. He is a member of the Acts 29 network, and also serves alongside and partners with several mission organizations, churches, and businesses around the world. His hopes and dreams for The Way would be that it could continue to glorify God, and make healthy gospel centered disciples long after his lifetime, throughout all the nations of the world.

David

David is the director of a college ministry and has been on staff with his organization for over 10 years. David has a heart for the 1040 Window and missionary care. He personally has extensive global missions experience having lived in Asia and Europe doing college ministry. He brings his global missions experience and perspective to the team. He is currently serving the team as secretary, planning board meetings, and keeping the team organized. David is married to his awesome wife, who also does college ministry along side him, while taking care of their son.

Daniel

Mission Mobilizer

Daniel is a key decision maker at the table of The Way and works to help make stateside operations possible. He is also talented web developer and IT consultant whose chief desire in life is to see the kingdom of God advanced. He primarily trains, equips, and supports the family of God toward "proclaiming the excellences' of Him who called us out of darkness into His marvelous light" through The Way and other ministries - both locally and globally. This manifests itself in three areas: missions mobilization, web development/IT consulting, and a business-as-mission company.

Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
