THAILAND
Thailand is a country in Southeast Asia that is slightly larger in size than California.
It has a population of 71 million people with the capital in Bangkok where 11 million live. It is a beautiful country with jungles, mountains, islands and beaches. It has a strong economy based on agriculture, industry and various exports.
Unfortunately, the sex trade and drug trafficking also generate enormous wealth. Over 1 million serve as child laborers with tens of thousands of children living on the streets.
74 of the 114 different people groups in Thailand are considered unreached. 95% of the people in Thailand are Buddhist, 4% are Muslim and only 1% are evangelical Christian.
Support a Thai Church Planting Pastor
Ko was the most revered Buddhist monk in the region. He was literally worshiped as a god from his birth. His son got sick. Ko tried all his prayers and rituals, but his son died. Ko went to the river to commit suicide. Ko looked down and saw something shiny in the undergrowth. It was a gospel coin that had John 3:16 written on it.
Ko took that coin and walked to the only Christian pastor he knew. That Christian pastor is one of the pastors we support. He shared the gospel with Ko and Ko accepted Jesus’ love and was born again. Today, Ko is one of the Thai church planters we support—preaching the gospel all over rural Thailand. You can sponsor a church planter like Ko for $50.00 per month.
