    A tale of two cities 2

    September 9, 2015 | By David & Gladys Chang

    What does it take for missionaries and pastors in Bangkok to stay long enough to make a difference? How can God’s servants be sustained in a city filled with noise, pollution, traffic jam, selfishness, separation and spiritual oppression? Two personal memories come to mind. One is an image of me sitting in a coffee shop...

    Still bowing to spirit houses

    September 12, 2017 | By Jared & Stacy Haechton

    One day, I was giving some of the new Christians a ride into town in our car. As I drove, I noticed that one of the elderly Christian ladies raised her hands and bowed as we passed a prominent spirit house that was located on the road into town. It had been set up near...

    In the middle of nowhere

    November 25, 2015 | By Ewoud & Gerjo Koning

    It is getting darker and darker. Not only because the sun is setting, but also because traffic lights vanish the further we leave Khon Kaen behind. Khon Kaen seems to be the center of the Isaan Joint Venture, the team we will be joining next year. Today we had our first team meeting, this evening...

    Neighboorhood connections

    May 2, 2017 | By Dave & Lila Chang

      In trying to get back into Thai language learning, I sought out the help of Ms. Noy, who is a neighbor of ours and also a former Thailand championship takraw player. Ms. Noy has made her earnings (and even built her house) from prize money received from winning championships. She has traveled to many...

    Missed opportunity in Lopburi

    December 21, 2017 | By Jared & Stacy Haechton

    We had arrived in Lopburi, a medium-sized city in central Thailand, to study language in our first year in Thailand. During that year, our sole mode of transportation was our bikes. We rode each day to the language school and would often ride down the same streets. On one particular street, we would sometimes see...

    What do I do?

    July 9, 2015 | By James & Caroline Steer

    Pastor Brasit at the end of his Sunday sermon asked the music group to play a song and invited the church leaders and missionaries to come up to the front. Having only been at the church for a month, we step out hesitantly and Pastor Brasit then urges members of the congregation who have specific...

    Living faith

    February 25, 2016 | By Genevieve Wong

    Nong Pleum’s father died when she was a young child. And when she was about 11 years old, her mother left home.  She went to live with an uncle who gave her a roof over her head and nothing else.  From a young age, she had to work to get money to buy food and...

    Waving hello

    June 6, 2017 | By Jonathan & Genine Thomas

    Thai culture is unique and wonderful, very different from my own warm South African upbringing. We first noticed this in 2014, when we first arrived in Thailand, and quickly learned about appropriate ways to behave in public using gestures which are considered acceptable and normal. However, after arriving from our first home assignment it felt...
