It is a great blessing to have prayer warriors lifting up our needs and praises to the Lord.  We are grateful for your faithfulness to Thailand NOW mission.

Mike's knee surgery was a success.

For the past eight months I have had constant pain in my left knee.  At first I thought it was getting better, and then I would re-injure my knee (doing simple things like turning over in bed at night).  After several months, the pain was constant and not getting better, so I waited until getting back to Thailand to have surgery.  Fortunately I only needed arthroscopic surgery, but I need to use crutches for several weeks to allow the knee to heal.  Praise God!  I do not have knee pain anymore, and I have been sleeping through the night for the first time in months.  God is good!

Red, a Blessing Home Isan graduate, passes his teachers exam and is now certified by the Ministry of Education

Congratulations to Red!  This past Spring, Red, one of our kids from Blessing Home Isan graduated with his B.A. in Education from Nakhon Ratchasima Rajabhat University.  Since that time, Red has been studying for the Teachers Exam so he can become certified and licensed as a teacher through the Ministry of Education of Thailand.  The majority of students fail this test, and it is very difficult to pass.  Last week, Red found out that he passed the test and is now certified to be a teacher.  This is HUGE!!  Red will now be able to be employed as a teacher, which has good compensation, a pension, and job security.  

When one of our Blessing Home kids graduates from university, it is a game changer that lifts them out of poverty and provides a great future of good opportunities.  We are very proud of Red!  

Cambodia Update

The cease-fire between Thailand and Cambodia is holding and the border is still closed.  Unlike in past years when an armistice was quickly formed which included opening the borders so commerce could commence, this time it looks like the border will remain closed for a very long time.

We have over 20 Pioneer Pastor Churches over the border in Cambodia just across the border, and these areas are closed off to us at this time.  We are unable to do trainings and visits with these pastors and churches.  Your prayers are needed.

Nhia Wahn and Mao Her are moving to Kalasin province to plant a Pioneer Pastor Church

Thailand NOW Missionaries, Pastors Nhia Wahn and Mao Her, are moving to Kalasin Province in October.  Mao's sister generously purchased land in a community where they have relatives.  There is an uninhabitable house on the property right now that has no water or electricity at this time.  This house is in the process of being expanded in both the front and the back and renovated so that it can be used as a combination church and parsonage.

This new Pioneer Pastor Church is located in Don Chan District, and it contains 5 counties (sub-districts) , all of which are totally unreached.  We are very excited because we know that when they plant this new church, it will result in many new churches being planted in this region of Thailand which is the most unreached area.  In this area, only 1 out of 10,000 people are Christian.

Mao and Nhia Wahn have a lot of work to do over the next several months as they move up there and do the work of renovating this house and evangelizing in the towns around them.  

The River Network: Training the Trainers for Church Multiplication in Asia

In February 2026, we will be hosting The River Network to provide training to Church Multiplication Leaders from India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines.  This training is "Train the Trainer", meaning the participants will be qualified to bring the training materials back to their home countries, translate the materials, and then provide the training to churches in their home nation.  This training will take place in Bangkok at the Avana Hotel, a Christian-owned hotel.

We are excited to expand the ministry of Thailand NOW to encompass other nations in Southeast and South Asia.  Our prayers are that a movement of church multiplication will make disciples and bring the Good News to the most unreached nations in the world.

Fundraising for two large dormitories for the Abundant Life Training Center

We have $21,810 of the $242,000 needed to build and furnish two large dormitories that will provide lodging for up to 72 people.  These dormitories will make this ministry become self-sufficient, because we will no longer need to spend money on hotel rooms when we are training the trainers of the Abundant Life Financial Training program.  

When we came to Thailand 20 years ago, 58% of Thai farmers owned their own land.  But because of predatory loan practices, now only 15% of Thai farmers own their own land.  This indebtedness leading to bankruptcy plagues those who live in the city as well.  When Thai Christians learn how to manage their finances with biblical principles, they begin to save up for emergency funds so they don't have to borrow anymore.  They get out of debt and stay out of debt.  And when churches are filled with strong families, the church becomes strong.

Our goal is to have all of the funds needed by the end of 2025.  This is the final capital campaign for this ministry.  Please help this project to cross the finish line.  If you give to this project, please designate for the Building Fund.

Your donations are very much needed

Your generosity makes this mission possible and we could not do it with you.  Please help.
