What's happening?
We have two teams in Thailand. One is church planting among a village tribal group that has never heard of Jesus before. The other is caring for the poor in the slums of a major city. We've also made preliminary contact with another tribal group that has never heard of Jesus but would welcome a missionary to come and teach them English or Chinese.
Thailand is home to Chiang Mai, a kind of missionary "hub" for many organizations, yet paradoxically, it also hosts a many people groups who have never heard of Jesus. Or, if they have, they think following Jesus means becoming Western. Our heart is to see unreached Thai people groups take their rightful place of leadership in the global church.
How did we get here?
The team planting churches in tribal villages wanted to go to the mission field when they decided to join All Nations. Pastoral care, mentoring, and sending support were key factors in their decision to join us. The other team is led by a 70-year-old American woman. When she was 65, the Lord spoke to her, "You're not too old to be a missionary!" She's now church planting in Thai slums, determined to make the most of her later years.
Want to join us?
There are three possibilities for service in Thailand. First, you could join our team working in the slums and plant churches while caring for the poor, orphans, and widows. Second, our team working in the villages would love to host someone to help them with media: video editing and other communications as they step up their efforts to translate Bible stories and develop other materials. Or third, you could be the first person to ever share Jesus with many of the unreached people groups in Thailand that have never heard of Him!
