Pastors Sila and Wassana being dedicated at the opening service of Prasiri Bangkok UMC in 2008 |
In 2008, we helped Pastors Sila and Wassana
plant the Prasiri Bangkok UMC.
Through the years this church has moved to 3 different locations. At their present location, the church owns
one house which was converted into a sanctuary, and they rented the house next
door, which is used for Children’s Sunday School and also has the only
restrooms and kitchen for use in either building. The house was being rented with a contract to
buy the house by December 2017. If they
did not buy the house by then, the owner would sell the house to another buyer.
Pastors
Sila and Wassana told us that they were short by 400,000 Thai baht ($11,700
USD) and that the church was unable to save up enough money to meet the deadline, putting them in crisis. After much prayer we gave a
gift through TMM to Prasiri Bangkok UMC to complete the purchase of the church
building. We are thrilled that this
church is now a permanent church, that is both self-supporting and owns their
own building. God is Good!
The building on the left side is the one which was purchased. |
