The other important decision was to regionalize ASM: South East Asia Region with two sub divisions – Southern ASEAN (Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Philippines); and Northern ASEAN (Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Viet Nam and Myanmar) countries, South Asia Region, East Asia Region, Central and West Asia Region, and Outside Asia Region. Furthermore, ASM has decided to ride on the new wave of modern Information Technology and to make a good use of it.
In light of this, ASM has decided to set up an online ASM Journal. This way, this Journal will become one of a handy resources as well as a platform for Asian missiologists to publish their academic essays. By the same token, that Journal will provide a rich and cutting edge research materials for the seminary students and missionaries in the fields.

This same group of ASM officers then traveled to Tokyo, Japan, to attend the centennial celebration of 1910 Edinburgh World Missionary Conference on May 11-14, 2010.
The theme of this centennial celebration was: From Edinburgh 1910 to Tokyo 2010 Global Mission Consultation and Celebration: Making Disciples of Every People in Our Generation.
