Kids Quest Thailand: Outreach Pictures!!

God uses the 'foolish' to shame the wise (1 Cor 1: 27).

Perhaps that is why Kids Quest is 'rocking' through Thailand! So far, we've had outreaches from Maesot (Northwest Thailand) to Hat Yai (Far south)! We've even done outreaches at Buddhist Public Schools where most children confessed to wanting a new life in Christ!!

In the first few months over 600 kids have come to Christ---and the local churches are following up to disciple them into a new life!

We train THAI church teams to do the outreaches AND disciple kids into the local church! AND, we train 'trainers' to work with churches and train the teams all over Thailand!

Additional outreach requests have already been received from churches in the Southeast and North.

We are currently 'booking:'
  • Churches (all over Thailand)
  • Shopping Malls (In the lobbies and shopping areas)
  • Bible Colleges (We are training new pastors to bring the program to their churches)
  • Public "Buddhist" Schools (Amazing!! God is kicking down the Buddhist doors!)
Here are several pictures from various sites including Bangkok to enjoy!

July 06: Tsunami Region---Interviewing the Poor


In July, we were invited to join with World Concern and Habitat for Humanity in interviewing the poor who were affected by the tsunami of 2004. The goal: Find program opportunities where we can help them help themselves, such as micro-enterprise through small business loans. It was an incredible experience!
On the way to Lanta Island (Ko Lanta). This island was hit hard by the 'wave.'
Interviewing the Mogan people (sea gypsies and fishermen). These Muslim people were supported by the fishing industry (catching and selling). The fish AND the tourists are 90% gone from the area. It will be years before full recovery. These people are looking for ways to preserve their heritage and, yet find new financial alternatives to fishing. They want to learn new skills. And, perhaps, seeds can be sown to share the Gospel.
A 'typical' home. No running water. No electricity. Sleeping on the floor. Cooking in a hole in the floor.
A very nice pregnant woman who Paula befriended. The poor have a huge heart...but not much else.
Hope alongside the roadway!
A fish farm in a local Muslim village. They raise fish and sell them to middle men from the mainland.
Happy fish farmer! But, he lost all his customers when the tsunami washed them away. He is earning about 20% of the little money he made before.
On our way to Jam Island (Ko Jam)! Paula getting ready for a soon-to-be monsoon we encountered!
The entry to Jam Island. The island is a very small island about 1 hour boat ride into the gulf. Before the tsunami, there was fishing and toursim. Fishing is now about 10% of normal levels. Tourism is virtually gone.
This is a poor village of Muslim sea gypsies (Mogan people). No running water. No electricity. A few chickens. They eat the fish they catch...few as they are.













































































Hey....You gotta love this girl! Tired after 3 days of interviewing?? Nope.
