Thailand Missions

Our mission is to live the gospel of Jesus Christ through action...
Feeding and clothing the poor, teaching the gospel, caring for the sick and orphaned,
and micro-business training, medical care, etc.

The bible says in James chapter 2 vs.14-18 (Dear brothers and sisters, what's the use of
saying you have faith if you don't prove it by your actions? That kind of faith can't save anyone.
Suppose you see a brother or sister who needs food or clothing, and you say,
"Well, good-bye and God bless you; stay warm and eat well" but then you don't give that person any
food or clothing. What good does that do?
So you see, it isn't enough just to have faith.
Faith that doesn't show itself by good deeds is no faith at all--it is dead and useless...
Now someone may argue,
"Some people have faith; others have good deeds."
I say,
"I can't see your faith if you don't have good deeds, but I will show you my faith through my good deeds."

Om Koi, (Karen Hilltribe) mountain village project. The village of Om Koi is about a 5 hr. drive from Chiang Mai, our target destination is located 2 hrs. in the mountain from the village of Om Koi, as we drove up the mountain on a road that is carved on the mountains edge, I could understand why missionaries don't go there, it is a very rough and dangerous road, there were areas where logs were used as bridges and I wanted to turn back for safety reasons, but everyone said to keep going because it was a short distance away. They were right... We soon arrived and it was well worth it, the people were blessed with supplies consisting of canned foods, pots, pans, utensils, dried foods, fresh vegetables, milk, baby formula, vitamins, soap, and medical supplies. About 40 homes recieved supplies. Udonthani, (Namsom Thai School) project. There are many schools in Thailand that have shortage of school supplies, on this trip we were able to supply this school with sports equiptment, paper, notebooks, pens & pencils, computer paper, and school clothes for children who could not afford them because their families are too poor, children who go to school are usually required to wear uniforms and have their hair cut short. These children came to see me at the school on Saturday and patiently waited to recieve their clothes and supplies as we talked to the principal and staff about the needs of the school. The children and staff were so grateful. It's good to know that when that child goes to school he or she will not feel like an outcast because that child has no school clothes to wear like the other children. Prayer Meeting (Chiang Mai) Once a week the church holds a prayer meeting at a different members house and prays for the needs of that person or for their family members and it is usually accompanied by a meal or snack.		Bibles and teaching materials. Many people in villages outside the city don't own a bible, many cannot read and write or even afford to buy one, so we take materials to a pastor or teacher that has a study group in their home. Many of these teachers work with the children and teach them how to read and write and also teach them about the gospel by singing songs with them. BanTaLaOo Village (Thai & Burma Border) This mission was very exciting because it was located on the Thai & Burma border. The village we delivered supplies to was down the Salaween river which is a very dangerous river known for whirlpools and rough water which moves very fast. We traveled with these long tail speed boats which can carry a huge amount of supplies and passengers. While going down the river we went to the Burma side of the border and deliver supplies free of charge to the Burmese Army. When I asked why we had to give them supplies, the driver said that they have to bring things to the Burmese Army so they can operate on the waterway. It's kind of a toll fee....or I would call it jungle insurance... the supplies were well overdue for one of the villagers, when we entered his home there was nothing in the kitchen to cook with! They were cooking food in a pot lid which was folded over to form a pan. We learned that he had to sell all his livestock and things to get a operation on his stomach. His family was so blessed and surprised when we brought the supplies to him, it reminded me of a child on Christmas Day while receiving their gifts, eyes open wide and a smile from ear to ear....
