Thailand – LCA International Mission

Part of a very large family!

By Pastor Michael Dutschke | 0 comment | Categories: Thailand

In the last week of February I spent a week with some first generation Christians in the Nan Province of Thailand – mostly people from the “Lua” ethnic group. I went with Erin Kerber (a project officer with LCA International Mission) and Chris Sumner (a member from the Springhead congregation.) Our “mission” was to “look, […]

What lies down the track?

In the warm shadow of the overhead Bangkok highway, alongside the railway tracks slicing through the slum structures, in an area full of sights and smells most people go out of their way to avoid – lives Kainui. Kainui already wears his environment like outer clothes. Although 6 years of age, he has the size […]

Partners in sharing Jesus’ love

By Glenice Hartwich | 0 comment | Categories: Thailand

The sense of evil and fear is hair-raisingly palpable as a spirit doctor approaches, uttering threats to villagers in northern Thailand’s mountainous Nan province. Spirit doctors have long reigned over the marginalised and impoverished Lua people with fear, demanding sacrifices and rituals to appease the spirits. But you are helping to change the lives of […]

It was a fourfold celebration that Friday afternoon in the lovely chapel at Luther Seminary Thailand in Bangkok: First and foremost, as this was 24 March, the eve of the Annunciation festival, we celebrated the Archangel Gabriel’s announcement to the Virgin Mary that she would bear the Christchild. ‘For with God nothing will be impossible.’ […]

“Here am I. Send me!”

By Brittany Whitfield | 0 comment | Categories: Thailand, Volunteers and Supporters

Unsure of what you want to do after high school? Do you want to strengthen your relationship with God? Travel overseas?

I contemplated going straight into university, however it’s […]

Let the children come…

By Glenice Hartwich | 0 comment | Categories: Thailand

As Sao Mandee (Director of Home of Praise) wraps her arms around the crying child, she is reminded of the words of Jesus, “let the children come to me”. That’s what happens every day during the week, as children from the poorest of the poor people living in the slums of Klong Toey in Bangkok, […]

The power of Jesus has set them free from fear, bringing peace and light to their formerly dark, fearful lives.
