Khon
Kaen is the commerce and political center of Northeastern
Thailand, and is well known for the silk that is manufactured
in the area. Located in the heart of Isaan, this community
was experiencing one of the fastest growth rates in Thailand
until the baht was devalued in 1997.The present population
of the city is around 150,000.The city also hosts the largest
university in the North East, Khon Kaen University. Khon Kaen
is also the region's central gateway offering convenient links
to all the northern and central provinces.
Because Northeastern Thailand frequently suffers from drought,
the people who live there are often thought of as poverty
stricken. Yet, the Northeastern Thai have become an urban,
industrial labor force, and many of them have found jobs as
factory workers.
YWAM
Thailand is currently ministering in the region on a number
of levels but the primary focus at this time is university
campus ministries. Come and be apart of the exciting work
that God is doing in and through our Khon Kaen ministries.
The needs are great but the workers are few!
