Evangelism Through Church Businesses (ETCB)

This is Oasis Coffee Shop in Mae Sot.

Gary developed a ministry called ETCB (Evangelism Through Church Businesses) and he was a consultant for this business, which is operated by Foursquare Missionary, Diana Gilbert.









Mae Sot is in northern
Thailand on the Burmese border.

The Oasis sells items made by the at-risk children at Home of Hope and also by Karen and Burmese refugee children from ELPIS Migrant School, by which the profits help to support the children.










Oasis also offers English classes and an
International Church service. In the ETCB
program, profit is encouraged, and community
outreach and evangelism is essential.







Oasis offers free wireless internet, as
well as great coffee, exceptional bakery items
and other services.

Children's KidsQuest Outreach May 2008

A KidsQuest outreach in Hang Dong. The youth team from New Life Center performed this "Show" for the kids on May 10, 2008.

The Thai youth team picked these kids up in trucks, brought them to the Center ,and did a great job ministering to them.








Part of the Outreach includes this game which teaches kids about right and wrong.








About 90 of these kids prayed to receive Jesus
into their hearts! These kids are continuing to
come to this center every week to learn more about God.
