Ministry

This trip will start with awesome fellowship with the believers of Bible Church Thailand. 

After arrival in Bangkok you’ll go on a weekend trip to Pattaya, a lovely beach city, to spend time with mostly first generation believers from the Bible Church Thailand (BCT) church family. You’ll enjoy great fellowship, meals, fun activities, powerful spiritual messages and worship…and of course time at the beach!

Back in Bangkok (2 days) you'll witness and learn about typical Buddhist worship, spend time with the BCT team members, and also minister to college students at a mostly Buddhist and Muslim university, called SPU. 

You will then leave for 2 days to visit and minister with the BCT team at 2 new church locations, and a mostly Muslim/Buddhist elementary school in the ancient city of Ayutthaya! 

Finally your last weekend will be spent at the church in Bangkok where we will invite all the students from SPU that you made contact with, as well as students from another mostly Buddhist university, called RBAC, to join us for what is called an “English Camp” - here you will use English as an evangelism tool to have a fun day with the students while also having the opportunity to showcase your faith to them.

Of course we’ll make sure that you get to enjoy some fun activities too, like visiting a typical Thai weekend market, or playing with a tiger! 

Be ready for a Spirit-filled, meaningful, and fun trip!

While in Thailand you can expect to:

• Have great fellowship with first-generation Christians, and missionaries who are laying it all on the line!
• Experience the incredible Eastern culture of the world: You will taste, smell, and experience something completely new almost every day, as you visit different markets, landmarks, and people.
• Be exposed to a spiritual darkness that will break your heart for the lost like never before, as you see people sacrificing to Buddha, bowing before Hindu gods, and worshiping idols and spirits.
• Enjoy Christian worship, prayer, small groups, outreach and/or children ministry with Thai believers. You will become part of a ministry that will touch your heart, and change your life forever!
