Based on my limited experience with immigrant Chinese churches, many of those churches will send missionaries to the Asian diaspora; that is, Chinese churches will send missionaries to reach Chinese in Europe or South America. I've heard that Koreans in both America and in Korea are particularly zealous in sending missionaries all over the world to all kinds of people.

Is there any color to whether that is directed to within the AA community or branching out into the broader society? DJ,

Our survey was a limited-size survey based on those we could reach over the Internet. Here's how we did the survey: we invited 190 churches to participate in the survey via email and I also posted survey invitations on 3 blogs. We had a total of 88 responses, about 46% ! This is a very good response rate, and I think this suggests a strong desire for Asian church leaders to learn what is going on out there among churches like theirs. The percentages in the survey results may or may not be representative of the whole Asian American church landscape, but they are likely representative of our sample size. For example, 100% of surveyed churches has a worship service in English. This is probably not true for all Asian North American churches. Good question, Ben.

I noticed that 51% of the churches were Korean and 16% were Chinese. Is this indicative of the breakdown of Asian churches in America? Well, looking at your survey I was surprised at how many churches were ethnically diversifying and churchplanting. I wouldn't have guessed that there were so many churches like that among Asian churches in America. Question: how did you choose the churches to survey?
