Serving Children in Thailand

AT A GLANCE:

Thailand, located in Southeast Asia, is known for its tropical beaches and ultramodern cityscape. Specifically Bangkok, the country’s capital, is the second most visited tourist destination in the world.

That said, the needs of Thai children are great. Problems that have plagued these children for decades include:

  • malnutrition
  • lack of access to education
  • trafficking
  • child labor
  • other forms of exploitation.

 

At least 600,000 migrant children in Thailand live on construction sites. 

These children are particularly vulnerable to child labor and abuse. They live a hard life, searching for work and food to provide for themselves and those they love. As a result, this lifestyle takes a heavy toll on families who are doing everything possible to stay together.

But through you, our team in Thailand is making an impact.

In recent years, daily discipleship translated into action as COVID-related struggles presented many opportunities to extend help and hope to nearby communities and villages in Thailand.

We praise God for how He is graciously providing for the ministry—through you—to grow and reach many more children and families for His glory! Thank you for being part of this story and this ministry.

Ministry Overview

We partner with indigenous leaders in Thailand to share the Gospel, disciple, and develop sustainable opportunities for disadvantaged children and families.

We seek to provide hope to impoverished Thai children–especially in unreached areas–and help change their future through Gospel teaching, proper care, good education, and intentional discipleship.

Areas of Focus

Since 2012, we have worked to spread the love of Christ with children in Thailand.

We regularly invite the families within migrant communities to dinner, worship services, and Bible teaching. Once a week, a service is held at a local campsite. Bimonthly, all families of the children we serve are invited to go on a 2- to 3-day retreat to the beach, which consists of corporate worship, relationship building, and intentional discipleship/teaching.

Because children of migrant workers often do not have access to formal education, we provide opportunities within our learning center to learn a range of academic subjects, including reading and writing in both English and Thai, art, math, music, and computer skills. Due to a lack of safe space and parental oversight, we also offer physical education, as well as health and hygiene initiatives. We help students discover and develop life skills such as cooking, gardening, and communication.

Sharing the Gospel is the foundational element of our ministry and the catalyst for the social transformation that takes place in other areas. The way to salvation is presented in almost every encounter we have, whether in personal conversations, outreach services, or regular meetings.
