Nearly 2,700 years ago, the prophet Isaiah saw the Lord’s vision for South East Asia. Isaiah 42 unveils this region’s distinct role in the end-time movement.
Throughout history, God has sovereignly and intentionally employed technology as a decisive instrument of proclamation to discipleship.
In the era of Moses and the prophets, papyrus emerged as a groundbreaking medium to preserve and share divine messages. During Paul’s missionary journeys, Roman roads transformed into highways for the gospel (Acts 13:4-5; Acts 16:6-10). In Martin Luther’s time, the printing press became the catalyst for reformation, amplifying God’s truth. In the 20th century, radio rose as the primary vehicle for broadcasting the message. Today, in the 21st century, media and musicstand as God’s chosen tools for global discipleship.
This pattern underscores the need for the highway online. The online platform is a sovereignly ordained communication tool—not a replacement for local, physical formation, but an enhancement of it. By transcending barriers of time and space, it accesses with appointed messengers worldwide.
Its purpose mirrors Paul’s strategic use of Roman roads and his Roman citizenship: to leverage divinely provided resources for reaching the regions God has called us to serve (Acts 22:25-29; Acts 25:10-12).
In the midst of Babylonian captivity, Ezekiel beholds a breathtaking vision: the throne of God, borne on wheels (Ezekiel 1:15-21). This is mobile, unbound by space and time. God declares to Ezekiel that where he stands, among the captives, He Himself becomes their dwelling place:
“16 …Though I removed them far off among the nations, and though I scattered them among the countries, yet I have been a sanctuary to them for a while in the countries where they have gone.’” (Ezekiel 11:16, ESV)
Local, physical communities are ordained for God’s purposes, yet in times of exile and captivity, He reveals a mobile throne—just as the Ark of the Covenant was carried through the wilderness on poles (Numbers 10:33–36)—to sustain the mission of a global priesthood.
This is the heart of an online school. It is not a substitute for local, embodied fellowship but a means of strengthening the Ezekiels of this generation—those scattered across regions, nations, and places where physical messengers cannot access, hindered by finances, circumstances, or simple unawareness. This is precisely why Paul wrote his letters (epistles). Though he could not always be present, he refused to let distance or time hinder discipleship and formation.
Likewise, in times of exile—where isolation and oppression seek to hinder the commission to disciple—this digital epistle becomes a conduit (communication tool), equipping the nameless and faceless to become a people of understanding.
Our mission is summed up in one word: Highway. Just as roads are essential to a nation’s infrastructure, a spiritual highway is critical for the advance of God’s kingdom. Without it, movement stalls, growth is hindered, and the people cannot advance.
This is why, in Isaiah 40, the messenger is commissioned to prepare the way (cf. Isa. 11:16; 19:23; 35:8; 40:3; 49:11; 57:14; 62:10)—to bring down the high places, raise up the low, and make the crooked paths straight. But how is this accomplished? Through proclamation.
The vision of this online school is best captured in Habakkuk 2:2–3:
“Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it. 3 For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.” (Habakkuk 2:2–3, ESV)
The task before us is clear: to make the full gospel plain—from the Cross to the Second Coming—so that those who run may do so with clarity and conviction.
Our measure of success is not numbers or productivity but faithfulness to Scripture. The Sermon on the Mount is our standard. We sow, and God causes the growth.
As much as the why and what matter, the how is just as crucial. Paul writes:
“According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation…” (1 Cor. 3:10-11).
We want to build according to an apostolic pattern. I believe the book of Romans provides the blueprint. It unfolds in three distinct phases, each shaping the foundation for gospel formation. Each phase will span three months of online curriculum, culminating in a local, in-person expression.
Phase 1: Romans 1–8 | The Gospel of Grace (The Cross, Intimacy, and Identity)
This phase lays the foundation of grace, shaping hearts for intimacy with Jesus and preparing for the messenger calling.
Culmination: Gathering in Asia, impacting young adults and equipping them with the message of intimacy and identity.
Phase 2: Romans 9–11 | The Gospel of the Kingdom (Israel, the End Times, and the Great Commission)
This phase expands the vision beyond personal salvation, anchoring disciples in Israel’s role in redemptive history and the urgency of the end times. We will emphasize loving both Jews and Arabs—contending for the fullness of Issac and Ishmael.
Culmination: The Isaiah 24 Internship in Tel-Aviv and Jerusalem in partnership with Samuel Whitefield & other Arabic Leaders
Phase 3: Romans 12–16 | Gospel Formation Unto Reaching the Unreached (Apostolic Formation, Building Highways, Sending)
This final phase focuses on preparing and commissioning laborers, establishing gospel highways, and sending forth apostolic teams.
Culmination: An Internship, leading to outreach among Indonesia’s unreached islands in partnership with other Missions Organizations.
