On Sept. 18, a group of about 14 people from Baan Athitaan Church went on a missions trip to Huay Khu Village, a Hmong village about three hours from the city of Chiang Rai. We went to help a small church in that village rebuild their church that was destroyed by strong winds just a few months ago.
We had hoped to raise enough funds to replace this very weak bamboo structure with a more solid block structure and anticipated spending less than $2,000.
That may not sound like much, but to those of us who live in this part of the world, that is a lot of money.
Our church took up a special offering and tried various ways to help raise these funds here, and praise God, we have been able to raise a little over $500. That was not enough to put up the block structure that we had hoped, so we put up a very similar bamboo structure on this trip.
It simply reminds me of the truth that because the Christian population in countries like Thailand is so small, we still desperately need resources from Christians from other parts of the world that have a heart for missions.
We would like to do so much more and need your partnership to make that happen.
