This summer, the Pioneering Pastor Team has been at work
in some of the remotest places in Thailand, seeking to open churches in
unreached places, where no church of any type has ever been opened. This pioneering work has brought them to
Tahp-Sahdet, which is on the border of Cambodia. During the Vietnam War, this region was deserted
because it was a war zone. After the
war, some people settled into this area, but it is still remote and
isolated. There is no church in the vast
majority of the sub-districts in this region.
When Mrs. Pimpeekah received land here from the government of Thailand
and relocated here, there was no church.
So she started a cell group in her neighborhood which has over 200
families living there, even though she has no Bible college training.

The Pioneering Pastor Team will help to provide Bible
training to Mrs. Pimpeekah and will bring Christian education resources to help
them transition into becoming a church.
Our hope is that this new church will help to plant cell groups in the
adjacent sub-districts that have no church whatsoever. This is truly ministry at the edges of the
Kingdom of God. Tahp-Sahdet is located
in the district called Ta Praya, which has 15 villages with a population of
over 17,000 people, and this will be the first church in this district. This district needs many churches because it
is very large with no public transportation.
Please keep Mrs. Pimpeekah and the new church plant at Tahp Sahdet in
prayer as well as the Pioneering Pastor Team.
