Starting a House Church - “Shelter of Encouragement”

Our
Church |
Over the 3 and
a half years that we’ve been involved in evangelism and discipleship,
we have seen a lot of fruit. And though students have asked us to
start a church before, until lately we didn’t seriously consider
it. As we have come to view it, the natural outcome of evangelism
and discipleship is a body of believers, which is a church. We believe
that it is time for us to be a church for our students. We started
meeting together near the end of August on Sunday mornings at our
home, it has been going very well and there are about 10-20 people
who come. Most of our members are the students that we have been
discipling. The name of our church is “Ga Tom Nhun
Jai” (Shelter of Encouragement).
New
Staff
May
(pictured to the right) graduated last year from Mae Fah Luang University
and attended a Discipleship Training School (DTS) in Montana. She
finished her DTS and is answering the call to serve God full time
in this campus ministry which she was saved through. We are greatly
in need of staff, so we truly thank God for May and for answering
the prayers regarding our need for staff.
