Adventist Laymen's Services & Industries (ASI) is a global network of Adventist laypeople dedicated to supporting the mission of the Church. Its members and supporters include well-known organizations such as 3ABN, It Is Written, Amazing Facts, and prominent church leaders such as Elder Ted Wilson, Mark Finley, and many others. ASI is a lay-led organization that brings together professionals, business owners, and supporting ministries under the motto: "Sharing Christ in the Marketplace."
Its mission is best encapsulated by Ellen White’s statement that "the work of God in this earth can never be finished until the men and women comprising our church membership rally to work and unite their efforts with those of ministers and church officers." (Gospel Workers, p. 352)
