INTRODUCTION
Stand Asia was founded in 2019 in Hong Kong to encourage persecuted Christians in Asia and to make their plight known to Christians in Hong Kong and other countries. Following a lengthy season of mutual collaboration and support, CSW HK have decided to rebrand as a separate distinct organisation and leave the Christian Solidarity Worldwide partnership. This decision was reached after lengthy discussions and strategic reviews by the leadership teams of both CSW UK and CSW HK.
Our base in Hong Kong allows us to travel to other Asian countries and gives us first-hand interactions with Christians who are persecuted for their faith. Over the years, we have established meaningful relationships and built a high level of trust that allows us to stand beside and walk with persecuted brothers and sisters in the body of Christ.
