Thailand - Individuals

English Teachers for Community Outreach

  • Short term English teachers needed for Thai churches
  • Reach out to their communities
  • Help OMF teams working in Bangkok as a way of getting to know people

English Tutor for Buddhist Monks writing their Masters/PhDs

  • A unique opportunity to help the monks write up their assignments on aspects of the Buddhist religion - this can bring forth some very interesting discussions, but must be done with great caution and in the right manner.
  • It is a very low key situation and the person who takes this on is not going to be openly trying to convert the monks - the person would have to be very tactful and take an approach of learning from the monks when it comes to religion.

Teaching Assistance for Missionary Families

  • Assist missionary families with homeschooling their kids.
  • Teaching experience preferred.
  • The potential worker could have other jobs/activities in Lopburi, but could spend 2 hours in the morning to do some preparation for English school activities from Tuesday - Friday, possibly for 2 weeks at a time.

Website Management - Updating OMF Thailand Site

  • Help the OMF Thailand team get the website up to date.
  • The website runs on a content management system
  • Some knowledge of HTML would be useful.

Workers for North-East Thailand (Need to learn Thai)

  • The North-East is the poorest and the least Evangelised of the Thai Regions. Less than 0.2% of the 20+million Isaan people are Christian.
  • We are looking for people who will move to the towns and cities of Isaan to start new churches. A missionary family will be moving there at the end of 2006 to be joined about 6 months later by another new OMF couple.
  • They have plans to do widespread evangelism using a mobile library and other innovative approaches and have a strategy of working towards a church planting movement, where lay leaders are trained and equipped to start and lead small village churches. At the moment there is not much in the way of support structures for Isaan workers ie international schools, mission homes etc, so that makes the work in this area more challenging in the long term.
