EIJI WATANABE, 2nd year M.Div student, Christ Bible Seminary

I became a Christian through an American missionary who came to Japan 50 years ago. I am planning on serving as a pastor after I graduate from seminary. As a Japanese Christian I feel much shame knowing how Japanese are involved in Thailand’s sex industry, and want to be a witness for Christ in preaching the gospel. I want to grow as a Christian and future pastor through this mission trip to Thailand. I want to ask for your prayers and support for us that we will be used by God to His glory.

- 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.
