Thailand – Taking New Ground

Imagine Being Encouraged By Persecution!

I recently returned from working with leaders from a restricted access nation nearby Thailand. I am always encouraged and challenged after spending a week with these leaders. Persecution is a regular and expected aspect of their faith. They face great trials and hardships, yet they push on toward the goal of leading their countrymen to faith and multiplying the church. Over 80% of these leaders are uneducated, rural farmers, but the Spirit of God is strong in them. In the past 12 months these leaders started 87 new house churches!

The Persecuted Church

Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 5:31). I was recently in Thailand to work with 150 leaders from a restricted access nation in that broader region of the world.

This past week my mentor and team lead Joe Wilson and I met up with most of the New Thing Global Catalyst team in Orlando. We also had several of the leaders we work with from Thailand, the Philippines, and Uganda in attendance. It was a great opportunity for our team and our leaders to network, build relationships, and plan for the future.
