Paul Hattaway
Paul Hattaway (birth year unknown–present). Born in New Zealand, Paul Hattaway is a Christian missionary, author, and founder of Asia Harvest, a ministry dedicated to equipping Asian churches to reach unreached people groups. Leaving home at 16, he faced homelessness in Australia, sleeping on a public bathroom roof, until a factory worker’s witness led him to faith. In 1988, he arrived in Hong Kong with $50, a backpack, and a call to serve China, smuggling hundreds of Bibles across the border. Founding Asia Harvest in the early 1990s, he has supported over 1,500 indigenous missionaries, provided over 20 million Bibles in 140 Asian languages, and aided persecuted believers through funds like the Asian Workers’ Fund and Persecution & Relief Fund. His preaching, rooted in personal testimonies of God’s provision, inspires global audiences at conferences and churches. Hattaway authored books like An Asian Harvest (2017), The Heavenly Man (2002, about Brother Yun), and Operation China (2000), documenting revival and unreached tribes. Married, though family details are private, he operates from Winston-Salem, North Carolina, with offices in Australia, the UK, Germany, and Malaysia. He said, “God’s call is not to comfort but to obedience, no matter the cost.”

Sermon Transcription
Up to the mountain of mercy, to the crimson perpetual tide, Kneel down on the shore, be thirsty no more, go under and be purified. Follow Christ to the holy mountain, sinners are erect by the fall, And cleanse your heart and soul in the fountain that flows, for you and for me and for all. At the wonderful, tragic, mysterious tree, on a beautiful, scandalous night, you and me, Were atoned by His blood and forever washed white, on a beautiful, scandalous night. On the hillside you will be delivered, at the foot of the cross justified, And your spirit restored by the river that pours, for my blessed Savior's side. At the wonderful, tragic, mysterious tree, on a beautiful, scandalous night, you and me, Were atoned by His blood and forever washed white, on a beautiful, scandalous night. At the wonderful, tragic, mysterious tree, on a beautiful, scandalous night, you and me, Were atoned by His blood and forever washed white, on a beautiful, scandalous night. Oh, it was a beautiful, scandalous night. Love.
