Hope on the Thai-My border

Children, Youth, Communities, Families, the Church. Over the past few weeks, we invited you to pray for these groups. Let's take a closer look at God at work for each of them.

Children and Youth

During our school visits last month, we were teaching the children about the life of Paul. They were captivated by the way he escaped, being let down the wall in a basket. One of our staff asked their students, "What is something you want to escape from?"

A little boy answered, "I want to escape from my parents fighting. Every time they fight I go into a corner and hide, but when you come I feel so peaceful and I feel so happy."

We thank God for the peace and love he senses from our staff, and pray he feels God's peace and love at home too.

Communities

Just before Christmas, one of our communities collectively decided they wanted to know more about Jesus. We started our Seeds discipleship series with them in January, for around 200 adults and children. Just six weeks later, and they are already asking us to plant a church in their community! We praise God for this miraculous work and pray for the means to meet this need.

Families

A few months back, the Thai social welfare asked us to support a woman whose husband and child had died suddenly. We responded with love, compassion and practical supplies now that the family breadwinner was gone. Last month, she poured out her heart to us. When we asked if we could pray for her, she accepted and said that she felt as though the 'big God in heaven' had seen and heard her.

The Church

Last year, we supported the building of a church for a Mong community. The building was completed in 2025, providing a safe and supportive place where they can meet, grow and learn; a place not just to worship, but to belong. Last month, the community built a house for the pastor of the church and invited us to lead the dedication of this space. We are blessed to be part of the spiritual growth of this community.

Can you come alongside these communities by praying, helping, giving or going?
