The Asia-Pacific Region announced Donghwan “Bill” Kwon's appointment as the new field strategy coordinator for the Southeast Asia (SEA) Field. 

“My vision as FSC is simple but clear, ‘To make the missional field,’” Kwon said. “It is my desire that all SEA field missionaries and local leaders would do the following: first, listen to the voice of the Spirit; second, go and share the gospel wherever the Spirit leads; third, find a person that God has prepared; fourth, teach and make disciples; and fifth, plant missional churches that multiply in Southeast Asia. 

“This field is very challenging, but I believe that God is greater than any obstacle before us. We need to hold tight the hands of Jesus and be in the movement of God. We need to experience a greater work of God than has ever been seen. The harvest time has come. It is now and here.”

Among other positions, Kwon served as professor at Asia-Pacific Nazarene Theological Seminary, country coordinator for Myanmar, and chancellor at Chapman International College. Kwon succeeds David Phillips, who is retiring after serving as FSC in Southeast Asia since 2012.

In 2014, Kwon began serving in Myanmar as country coordinator. Later he became the superintendent of the Myanmar District. By focusing on church planting and mobile education, the church in Myanmar has experienced tremendous growth. Today, there are three districts in Myanmar with over 65 churches.

Kwon was elected chancellor of Southeast Asia Nazarene Bible College (SEANBC) in 2015. Like Myanmar, the college experienced growth in all areas of the Southeast Asia Field. In the most recent graduation ceremonies, over 70 students graduated in Myanmar, Thailand, and Cambodia. Bill has a worldwide vision for education and in addition to growing the various physical locations for the college, he also began developing mobile education. To reflect a new worldwide vision, Kwon and his team changed the name of the college to Chapman International College.
