Missionaries sharing the Gospel and the love of God in Bangkok.

OCTOBER 2024 UPDATES

We are excited to share with you the latest news from the mission field here in Bangkok, Thailand! These past months have definitely been busy, but it has been such an amazing time of seeing God moving here among the community of people we are reaching out to. Your continued support and prayers have been invaluable to us as we continue to impact this nation for God.

We are overjoyed to report that our first service for our church plant, held on November 5, 2023, was a tremendous success! A total of 70 people attended, representing a diverse mix of local Thais and internationals eager to worship together, many of whom were not Christian. The presence of the Holy Spirit was definitely there, and it was an amazing time coming together and seeing God move among everyone who attended. 

Since our inaugural service, we have continued to gather weekly. Every first Sunday of the month, we have a bigger service in a hotel ballroom, and the rest of the weeks, we have been gathering in our home for worship services. These intimate gatherings have been a blessing, with an average attendance of about 20 people. We are witnessing the formation of deep connections and spiritual growth among our core team members and congregation. It is amazing how God has been bringing in Thai people to worship with us that found us through social media, who have been searching for a church community, and has found a home with us.

OCTOBER 2022 UPDATES:

As 2022 ends and 2023 begins soon, we are looking forward to be of service no matter what the challenge may be. We will do our absolute best to navigate through this global crisis in Thailand. Despite opening and closing of establishments we were able to help serve the community.

Throughout the start of 2022 until now, October 2022, we connected with students on the campus engaging students and families and holding classes on leadership development, mentoring sessions and marriage seminars. Thankfully for technology we are still able to hold leadership classes online as well as host several outreach webinars on mental-health, parenting and social media outreach. We are thankful we can still serve the nation of Thailand

Early this year, Marisa started a part-time voluntary position at ICS (International Community School) as "Elementary Ministry Coordinator." She is involved in ministering and preaching the Gospel at their weekly chapel to more than 240 students as well as overseeing their growth group program. This is also a huge platform to reach more families on this campus that we have already been engaging on a weekly basis. Together we are being intentional at creating new ideas to engage more families along with their kids in outreach events. We are also blessed to have team-mates from Hawaii to join us and we move forward toward a future church plant at the end of 2023. Much mahalo to your generous heart to stand with us and reach the nation of Thailand for Christ.
