I’M GOING TO
I am so excited to be part of a ministry to kids 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?
As many of you know, I love photography! Now I’m going to use my photography skills to share the gospel with kids in Thailand. I will be working with Global Encounters to teach photography workshops. This is a fun way to teach a practical skill, but it’s also a platform for sharing the gospel and helping kids learn to share their story through photography.
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 even 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 teens 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 and teens are open to the gospel and many have responded to the message of a God who loves and forgives them.
How can you help?
How can you help?
Please pray for our time in Thailand. It is an intense spiritual battle to reach the teens and children there. Pray that the teens 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!
