Fondacio Asia: Common path of transformation

Community - TRAINING - LEADERSHIP

Inclusivity, localization and innovation. These are the principles of the learning process that we are starting in August at Fondacio Asia. We call it “Shared Journey of Transformation”.

We aim to become an open, localized and innovative community of disciples, witnessing to the Kingdom of God in Asia, with appropriate structures and resources to carry out the mission.

Initially, we wanted to provide the necessary training skills to our project teams.

However, we cannot just look at skills. We also need to think about how we are organised, how we work, make decisions and learn together.

We also realised the need to be more inclusive. Not just our staff and our leaders. Rather, open it up to older people and younger people and people who engage with us in different ways.

What is this shared journey of transformation?


The Common Transformation Journey is a year-long learning process for Fondacio Asia staff, members, alumni, volunteers and friends.

Through this, we aim to:

  • find new ways to be a community and support our missions,
  • renew our vision of faith and communion (aligned with a broader cause), and
  • Continue to anchor our identity and mission in our Asian context and in local Churches.

It includes 5 phases.

We will be using different tools and processes to adapt to our current situation such as online workshops and small group sharing.

There will also be quarterly regional assemblies where we can meet other people from the different missions and communities of Fondacio.

At the same time, we will experience moments of solitude and silence that will help us integrate our learning into our daily lives and deepen our spirituality.

Recent Asian Leadership Team Meeting

To prepare and lead this training process, we created the Asian Leadership Team.

It is composed of 12 members who assume leadership roles in their respective communities or missions. We are proud that the majority of them are young people.

Our facilitator Kuya Charles, who is also our former regional coordinator, guides us through this process despite his busy schedule.

During our 2nd Zoom meeting on July 16th, we reflected on 3 questions to implement this process:

1. Why do we need to be inclusive?

2. Why is localization important?

3. How to encourage innovation?

In summary, we took Jesus as a model of inclusion, innovation and communion. On how he challenged the status quo that oppresses the least, the lost and the little ones. Through this, he brings healing and welcomes all into the kingdom of God.

Join the Fondacio Asia journey now!
