Despite young lay leaders working for “social ministries” have played an important role in bridging Church to societies in Asia, encouraging and empowering them through accessible education or training has not been hardly provided by any formal education institutes in the local churches except some lay organizations. But their supports have often stopped at a short term or an event-based occasion. Recognizing it deeply, Asian Lay Leaders (ALL) Forum is to provide them with a solid and systematic formation program for them.

ALL Forum is committed to training and educating young Church workers about urgent matters in Asia today such as youth, women and girl children, ecology, migrants, Indigenous peoples (IPs) and other marginalized whom Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conferences (FABC) has designated as the subjects of “special pastoral concerns” by harnessing the Catholic Social Teachings (CSTs) and “Pastoral Spiral” methodology of FABC. Especially ALL Forum is to provide young lay leaders with a combined program like Asian Youth Academy (AYA)/ Asian Theology Forum (ATF), “Moving School” for those who cannot afford to join AYA/ATF which has been holding on a national or regional level, and online courses on CSTs, basic theology and lay spirituality especially thrived during the covid19 much affected in Asia.
