Introduction It is very interesting to note that while Christianity seemed to be a Western religion, reality has it otherwise. Missionary and historian Dr. Samuel Moffett provided an intensive and quite uknown fact that “The church began in Asia. Its earliest history, its first centers were Asian. Asia produced the first known church building, the first New Testament translation, perhaps the first Christian king, the first Christian poets, and even arguably the first Christian state. Asian Christians endured the greatest persecutions. They mounted global ventures in missionary expansion the West could not match until after the thirteenth century.” [1] Jesus spent all of his earthly life in Palestine, on the continent of Asia, and the early church had its strongest congregations in Asia Minor, which was conquered by Islam, which today is Turkey. It was also indicated that when the church began on the day of Pentecost, many Asians were there who were from Persia, Medea, and Mesopotamia, which are modern day Iran and Iraq, Cappadocia, Pontus, Phrygia, and Pamphylia areas of modern Turkey which can be referred to in Acts 2:9-10. In addition, many of these Asians were among the three thousand who were baptized that day. [2] The apostle Paul went first to the cities of Asia Minor, of which the books of Galatians, Ephesians, and Colossians were epistles written to Asian churches. The churches of Revelation 2-3, specifically Ephesus, Smyrna, and Pergamum, were all in Asia Minor. It was also said that the greatest botched opportunity in all church history was in the 1260s the court of the great Kublai Khan asked the Polos when they returned to Italy in 1269 to request the pope to send 100 teachers of science and religion to instruct the Chinese to learn sciences and the faith of Europe. Only two Dominican friars were sent with the Polos in November 1271, and yet a war frightened and made the two friars back out.[3] Early church tradition also points out to Christianity’s spread eastward of which Jesus’ disciples drew lots for which parts of the world they would evangelize. India fell to the apostle Thomas and Christians in India until today have a strong tradition that Thomas came to their land in 52 AD. Marco Polo and Vasco de Gama in the late fifteenth century found Christians continuing the liturgy of the ancient Syrian church in India. However, Hindu rulers and the Indian caste system prevented extensive evangelism among the populace, and only the Malabar Indian Christians were able to pass their beliefs to their own children for centuries.[4] It was also said that Edessa, modern Urfa in Turkey, was an early trade center between the East and the Roman world, of which by 150 AD had strongly established Christianity. Early church writer Tertullian indicated a strong Christian community in Persia by 220 AD. Likewise, China’s T’ang dynasty (618-907) received foreigners at its court, including a large number of Nestorian Christians. Some portions of the Scripture, such as the Sermon on the Mount, were translated into Chinese, while the “Gloria in Excelsis Deo” became a Chinese hymn of praise. Ninth-century Arab traders visiting China also noted the Chinese emperor’s knowle
