THAILAND

A team of fifty volunteers and Asia Challenge Teams workers in northeast Thailand recently traveled to three rural areas unreached with the gospel. Over one thousand people attended three days of makeshift clinics and no one was turned away. Besides seeing a doctor, everyone heard the gospel one-on-one. While the medical team was at work, the rest visited local schools where they were allowed to share their faith, play sports and do crafts with over one thousand students. Each student received a copy of “The Book of Hope” and hundreds made decisions for Christ; 137 others chose to follow the Lord. Plans are already being made to return to these villages and schools. A church is organizing a Christmas program in early December for all three schools and a follow-up program is being developed for new believers. This newly-established team is mostly targeting Isaans, an unreached people group of over twenty-one million. (Operation Mobilisation)
