Thailand – but not as you know it!

Out of the cities and into the provinces, this trip will open your heart and mind to the Thai people and Thai culture. And we'll use English teaching as our tool to help share the gospel.

English opens doors for pastors in Thai churches. English represents the connection to community, acceptance and esteem for bringing this gift to the community.

Our Teach English Thailand teams focus on building the local church with pastors, and working more positively and openly in their community.

Our journey starts in Bangkok where we'll spend time going through cultural briefings, team building, and working through our teaching program. We’ll also go through child safety protocols. Whilst in Bangkok, every opportunity will be taken to connect with missionaries and Thai church leaders.

English teaching will be in schools and community settings. Our days will be full and you’ll need plenty of stamina! Ministry to children and churches are also part of the expected team opportunities. You’ll have an opportunity to really stretch yourself in what God asks you to do by sharing testimonies and songs, praying for people you meet, and sharing God’s love and kindness.

We will work with our local mission partners to explore missions in both city and country communities. Some of the work we will do together may include:

• With children and families – kids clubs, teaching English in schools and community centers, music lessons, craft activities, Sunday school, teaching craft and skills to women.

• Youth and young adults – visit a Youth Remand Center, teaching English in universities, coffee shop English classes

• Churches – share testimonies, share the Word, pray for people, get involved in local outreach

Your attitude of ‘yes!’ is the one that is most needed for this team. We go to serve, not to be served. You need to be flexible, open to change, ready to divert from the program… ready for anything.

This trip is open to all ages and especially suited to anyone who wants to learn more about missions in action and how to be further involved through prayer, giving, going, sending, and using your gifts to serve. 

Efforts will be made to arrange for the most fruitful exposure possible. These efforts usually involve the local missionaries going out of their way to arrange activities, events and ministry opportunities for the team. So be prepared:

1. For last minute changes in programs.

2. To minister to anyone whenever an opportunity arises. This could include making simple conversation, praying for a general blessing, praying for specific needs (e.g. healing), sharing a testimony, playing a simple game, etc.

3. To function as a team to help out one another.
