It seemed so unjust that many suffer when just a little help can make all the difference. Mike and Kerstin began working with their network of national contacts to provide help.   Starfish Asia is the result of that concern. Registered with the UK Charity Commissioners in 2003, the fund provides resources to known and trusted Christian believers to provide material, spiritual and educational help to people who are poor, hurting and in need in Pakistan and other South Asian countries.   It is that network of trusted partners in South Asia who are the key to our usefulness -- they are the ones rescuing starfish. Please click on each of their projects listed here and see how much is being accomplished through these dedicated men and women.     Mike is author of two books. Contact Mike if you would like a copy. (We regret we cannot send to South Asia) Generosity Mike takes a look at the importance of being givers in a greedy world -- and the blessing that we miss if we have never learned to give. Can it be True? Mike shares honestly from his own experience the struggle to maintain faith in the presence of doubt.   To preview this book, click below or on the image above Can it be True (preview)   Trustees:   Mike Wakely, assistant Area Co-ordinator, Operation Mobilisation South Asia   Kerstin Wakely, home-maker and wife of Mike   Rev.

Over time he became increasingly involved in compassionate ministries with the Pakistani Christian community. For fifteen years Trevor ran his own insurance business, which he sold in 2007, leaving him free to give more time to preaching, teaching and representing Starfish Asia.

To contact Trevor, phone: 028-91458718     or email: trevor@starfishasia.com     Provision of education for young people is an urgent priority and I am delighted that Starfish Asia is doing this, in Christ's name, for the poorest of the poor in Pakistan. I pray that God will richly bless their work and those whom it seeks to help. Rt. Rev. Dr. Michael Nazir-Ali, Bishop of Rochester I have followed the ministry of Starfish Asia from its birth, and have full confidence in what they are doing in Pakistan. The fact that Mike has personal contact with so many of those who receive help is an outstanding feature in this ministry. It deserves our support. Drena and I support this ministry and long to do much more.  George Verwer, Founder of Operation Mobilisation I visited some of the Starfish Asia projects in Pakistan in 2006 and was deeply moved by the schools I visited. This is a wonderful work led by an amazingly dedicated team. Dr. Kim Tan, Chairman, SpringHill Management Ltd
