Nestled in the mountains of northern Thailand, the city of Chiang Mai is quickly developing into an influential voice to the rest of the country, and very open to the gospel. Our outreaches and ministry in Northern Thailand will be in the city of Chiang Mai and among the hill tribes sharing the hope of the gospel. We have partnered with some missionaries and a gospel-centered church and ministry, seeking to continue building a worshipping, Gospel community—one that impacts people’s everyday lives through relationships, home to home prayer and ministry, worship, red-light district outreaches and prayer, church ministry, children's ministry, school and orphanage outreaches, and more. We believe that the gospel can transform the lives of Thais in Chiang Mai, and through the many opportunities offered to share the gospel, we guarantee that lives will be changed and an eternal impact will be made. Northern Thailand is home to a number of ethnic minority groups known broadly as "the hill tribes," each of which maintains its own culture, language and dress. Centuries-old cycles of poverty have left thousands of hill tribe children without parents, without education, and without hope...we plan on bringing the hope of Christ to the the hill tribes of Thailand.
Our free days will consist of visiting the Patara Elephant Farm (or Mountain Elephant Sanctuary) where we will spend a once-in-a-lifetime day as an "Elephant owner for a day." You will experience Bathing and brushing an elephant in the river, bare-back riding your elephant through a forest and to a waterfall, feed and check its health, and learn to communicate with it through certain spoken commands. (as seen on The Amazing Race,) Shopping at the Chiang Mai gate market, visiting the night bazaar, experiencing a cultural dinner and traditional Thai dance, and an unbelievable Full-Day Kayaking, Caving, and Jungle Tour! Apply early and be a part of a life-changing time in Thailand, summer of 2025!
