East Asia & North Pacific
About East Asia and North Pacific
This region is home to more than 700 people groups and 1.6 billion people – and is made up of cultures with a wide variety of worldviews. Rates of religious disaffiliation are quite high, but there is also considerable religious diversity – with individuals following Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, forms of folk religion and ancestral worship. Although the Church has a strong presence in some East Asian countries, it is far smaller and more fragile in others. The region faces significant economic disparities and mental health challenges, as well as vulnerabilities to exploitation, human trafficking, and natural disasters.
