I’M GOING TO

I am so excited to be part of a ministry to children in Thailand this October! Please read this page for more info on the team I am traveling with, why I am going, and how you can help.

Why am I going?


I loved working in Thailand last year! We saw so many children respond to the gospel! I’m excited to get to disciple some of the same children again this year and also share the gospel in some new locations. It’s a challenging country to work in, but so worth the effort when you see children light up with the understanding of the truth.

Why does Thailand need missions? 


Thailand is a beautiful country, with a kind and gracious culture. However, did you also know that it is one of the most unreached countries in the world? Christians only make up 1.17% of the population. Millions of people in Thailand have literally never heard of Jesus before.

In addition to working with the Thai people, we are also planning to work with Burmese refugees who have crossed into Thailand to avoid the civil war currently tearing their own country apart. Many of these children have experienced more trauma in their short lives than we can imagine. Some haven’t seen their parents in years. Some have no idea if their parents are still alive or if their home in Myanmar still exists.

Many consider Thailand to be fairly closed to the gospel culturally, even though the country has genuine freedom of religion. However, we have found that the children are open to the gospel and many have responded to the message of a God who loves and forgives them.

Please pray for our time in Thailand. It is an intense spiritual battle to reach the children there. Pray that the kids we work with would know that they are valued and loved by God and they would understand the truth of God’s Word. You can keep up with our team’s ministry activities through the Global Encounters Instagram and Facebook pages. 

You can also help financially! My expenses are about $3700, including flights. You are welcome to share in this opportunity in large or small ways! You can use the link below to donate and it will be put towards my trip. Thank you so much for your generosity and your help!
