Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I want to share a wonderful God-given missions opportunity that you can partake in by ‘ADOPTING A SEMINARY STUDENT’ from Christ Bible Seminary. Six seminary students, one staff member, and I will be in Thailand from January 21-27, 2010 in CBS’s very first mission trip to Thailand.

We will be ministering to a large variety of people, including recovering prostitutes, orphans, and in various Thai churches in Bangkok and Chonburi Thailand. We will also be spending time with the seminary students of Global Theological Seminary in Chonburi. We believe this will be a wonderful opportunity not only for our seminary students to minister to others, but also to grow in their faith in fellowship with the people of Thailand.

Thailand and Japan share a unique relationship. According to Patricia Green the former director

- ABOUT THAILAND
  
  A kingdom since the 13th Century, and never ruled by a Western power. Constitutional monarchy, with the popular king having a strong unifying and stabilizing role. The powerful army dominated politics and commercial life for 60 years. Corrupt, selfish practices of army leaders spread corruption to all levels of society and served to protect crime, prostitution, drug-dealing and arms rackets.
  
  1. Thailand means Land of the Free. However, the land is in bondage to a complex web of culture, spirit appeasement, occult practices and Buddhism, etc. For many Thai, their nationality and religion are inextricably linked. Pray for the spiritual breakthrough so that in the Lord Jesus the Thai may be free indeed.
  
  2. Corrupt military, government and police leaders have protected the large sex trade, drug networks, crime syndicates and ecological degradation of the country. The sex industry contributes 14% to the GDP of the country. The informal economy is larger than the official economy. Pray that honest, just leaders may be raised up who will also lay legal and social frameworks that will limit corruption.
  
  3. The growth of the Church has been disappointing. After four centuries of Catholic and 175 years of Protestant work, Thai Christians are only 1.6% of the population. Only in the 1980s did Protestants begin to do any better. Much of the growth has been among the Thai-speaking Chinese in cities and the marginalized tribal peoples.
