At what cost?

June 13, 2017 | By Bruce & Trish Bartleet

During the last month I have had quite deep conversations with 2 different ladies who live in my area. Both of theses ladies are mums to young children and both have been considering working away from home. Maki, the mum of a 2 yr old little girl, shares with me that she is thinking of...

Home School Week

March 19, 2015 | By Mark & Anne-Marie Bak

They had a blast, our 2 daughters! A couple of weeks ago, they joined the OMF Home School Week. All children of OMF missionaries who are home schooled have the opportunity to be in class together for one week twice a year. This happens in the Mission Home in Bangkok. It’s a long drive for...

More Women in Thai church

May 15, 2018 | By Larry Dinkins

I just spoke at a church camp for 70 Thai people. I counted only 11 males which works out to a 1 to 7 ratio. On a regular Sunday, this church has a higher ratio of males to females, but overall the predominance of women in Thai churches is a well known fact. An article...

Why can’t they just hurry up!

December 2, 2015 | By Jeff & Belinda Callow

I recently helped one of the local Christians put a walk-way into his house. He lives in the middle of a rice field and the land his house is built on floods a little every year. The house is up high on stilts but getting in and out of the house becomes difficult, as the...

March 9, 2015 | By Mark & Becky Leighton

They look at the fact that Protestant Christians are still less than 1% of the population and feel discouraged. It seems like this has been the case for almost 200 years. When will the gospel spread and be accepted by...

What are those?

June 1, 2016 | By Jared & Stacy Haechton

One day, after several months living in Isaan, I glanced at my feet and to my surprise, noticed a strange new growth from the sides of each one of my feet (I will spare you the picture!). At first glance, I became quite concerned that these were either massive plantar warts, an infection, or...

Setting a “faith-flag”

February 13, 2018 | By Christina Sutter

After a full day’s work, I needed to do some shopping and went to one of the big shopping centers in town. I was tired and hoped to get things done quickly and go home to rest. Feeling hungry I decided to eat in the food court of that shopping center. As I was getting...

Ask, seek and knock

March 7, 2017 | By Dave & Lila Chang

Recently, we were able to host a short-term team of 8 people from our home church back in the U.S. Part of the trip involved having the team help us with a 2-day English Camp at a local school in Phrom Khiri. Since the agreement with the school and the emphasis for the 2 days...
