Chiang Rai Base
Why does the YWAM Chiang Rai base exist?
The Chiang Rai base is a multi-cultural community committed to grow in our love for Jesus and to make Him known in Thailand, South East Asia and beyond. Doesn’t get much simpler than that, does it? To Know God and Make Him Known
How do we do that?
We have certain focuses that help us aim toward expressing the heart of God and they are:
- Being an inclusive community where all people involved can find their place and use their gifts and callings to serve God and His people
- Training and equipping people to fulfill their callings into all areas of societies
- Developing leaders who aim to be like Jesus and lead us into greater influence in our world
- Actively participating in reaching the people who have never yet heard the gospel of Jesus
- Administrating well all the resources that God has given us to further His kingdom
The YWAM Chiang Rai base?
…has started a new season of life this year. For the first time in its history, the base is now running two schools at the same time: SBS (School of Biblical Studies) and DTS (Discipleship Training School). There are great times of worshiping and interceding together as a larger and more diverse family.
Currently there are nine (9) nations represented on our base (Thailand, Canada, Venezuela, USA, Australia, Cambodia, South Africa, Japan and Sweden). Praise God for bringing the nations to this place. The fulfillment of His promise and calling are coming to pass in this time.
More exciting news is that we’re starting up a second DTS in October of this year (2010). Rob Wiebe, our base leader, is pioneering this second school. There is a need for staff for this school, so if you are interested please contact him at: rob.wiebe@ywamthailand.org
Other staff needs are: Base Administrator, Café manager, Accountant, Groundskeeper and SBS staff. If you are interested in getting involved with any of these needs please contact us at: info.cr@ywamthailand.org
Housing Project 2010
God has called us to build more on our base. Currently we are actually turning away students due to a lack of accommodation. That isn’t part of God’s plan. We are building a new housing unit that will be able to accommodate families. The cost is $70,000 and God has already provided $5,000. We are looking to see this money come in within the next few months. We need your help. If you would like help, please see below for details on how to make a donation.
May God provide for His plans, His people and His purposes at the YWAM Chiang Rai Base.
Come and join us! God needs you here!
