Other Background Information
Urban Church planting will include many different spiritual gifts. Some areas will be in a pioneering stage (direct evangelism), others will be in the embryonic stage (with a few Christians to begin with) and others in the emerging stage (where a church is in existence).
All our work is done in relation to the ACT Church Association. Workers will need to be able to work well with small groups and to do personal work in encouraging others in the Word. Love, patience and joy is needed in large measure. Disciplers will need these fruits of the Spirit.
Path of Service:
One year of Central Thai language study based in Lopburi. Then moving to another place of ministry in Thailand to focus more on evangelism and church ministry, while continuing to develop language skills.
