You are invited to join the TEAM THAILAND short-term mission team!

Thailand NOW is accepting applications for a team of up to 12  people to join Thailand NOW board members Jeremy and Shelby on a mission trip to Thailand from Oct 9 - Oct 19. The cost is $2,150 (not including flights). Flights will be coordinated by Thailand NOW once all team members have been identified. You can find a link/QR code to the itinerary and the Thailand NOW application at the bottom of the page.

What we will do and what to expect

WHAT YOU WILL DO ON THIS MISSION TEAM:

• We will visit some of the Pioneer Pastor churches to pray with new believers and those in need.
• We are working with Thai mission teams to do English Bible Camps at the Blessing Home Centers. We will bring crafts for the kids to do and will also lead in games. The Thai mission team will lead in singing Christian songs and will teach the Bible. We will also be engaging in basic English language conversation with the kids, to give them a chance to practice.
• We will learn how the Thai church is growing rapidly in a multi-religious, multi-cultural context. 

Please visit our TEAM THAILAND 2025 website for more information by clicking this link >> https://thailandnowmission.blogspot.com/

The application is on that website.  If you are interested, you will want to apply soon because there have been many people contacting us already.

We need special donations for the Final Phase of Construction of the Abundant Life Financial Training Center (ALTC).

The Abundant Life Financial Training Center (ALTC) is operational but not yet sustainable.  When we have trainings for the financial training or Pioneer Pastors, we must pay for hotel rooms because we do not yet have dormitories on the campus of the ALTC.  Once we have dormitories built, this ministry can become sustainable.  Sustainable ministries can thrive, be solid, and can be very fruitful.

We need to build 2 large dormitories that will provide lodging for up to 76 people.  $242,000 is needed for this final phase of construction.  So far, we have $17,500 raised.  It is our hope that individuals and churches will take up donations to help with this project.

If you donate for this project, please be sure to designate your gift to the BUILDING FUND.

Christmas 2024

 First, an update regarding Pastor Somsri who suffered a heart attack due to arterial blockages and was also diagnosed with diabetes and high blood pressure.  Somsri is back home resting and it looks like the two surgeries she had to remove the blockages were successful.  She is still quite weak and has to take it slow, but we praise God for her recovery.  Thank you for praying for Pastor Somsri, who is a mentoring pastor for the Pioneer Pastor Program and a very fruitful church multiplier.

Second, we must say "Thank You!!" for praying for the Christmas evangelistic outreaches that all of our churches are doing.  In fact, there are at least 300 Christmas outreaches taking place at the 108 Pioneer Pastor churches and we are seeing many people become followers of Jesus at these evangelistic events.

 Above is a picture from Lamae Church in Southern Thailand.  Pastor Manop is praying with seven people gave their lives to Jesus Christ.  This is one of three outreaches that his church is doing.

Our Pioneer Pastor Churches in large cities tend to be much larger congregations and they do large evangelistic outreaches. God is Good church in Chonburi has many Christmas outreaches this year.  The one at their main church campus had over 500 people from the community come, and this was not their largest event!  Click on the picture below to see a video they posted on Facebook.

Your prayers and generosity are the powerhouse of the mission, and we see the fruit of your faithfulness as we see Thai people become disciples of Christ and churches multiply too.  You are a great blessing to us and the Thai people and we are very grateful for your support.

2024 has been a special year for us.  We our in our 20th year of missionary service in Thailand and we also celebrated our 40th anniversary!  For our anniversary, we treated ourselves to go to a professional studio and have portraits made.  Below is our formal portrait, and then a candid picture that the photographer shot while we were laughing.  (Personally, I like the candid picture the best, but I know we must use the formal picture when churches ask us to send pictures with a bio.)

Sherri and I wish you a Joy-filled Christmas and a New Year with an abundance of blessings from the Lord!
