Update from John and Nok

Online Evangelism & Discipleship Ecosystem

huge impactOver the years, many people have come to know our ministry as one that shares the gospel and makes disciples through online platforms. We use YouTube, Facebook, LINE, and one-on-one video calls to walk alongside people who are searching for hope, answers to life's questions, and the truth of God. Many people may see this as an "online ministry." But for us, online has never been the destination. It is simply the starting point of a journey toward transformed lives.

We believe that true discipleship must lead to life transformation. When one person's life is changed, that transformation gradually extends to their family, co-workers, neighbours, and community.

For this reason, we do not focus only on producing content or increasing the number of followers. Instead, we invest our time in building people through listening, praying, answering questions, and walking alongside them for many months-or sometimes even years-so that they may grow in their faith and learn to walk with Godin everyday life.

As believers grow, we do not expect everyone to serve in the same way, because God has created each person with different gifts and different life contexts. Some serve through their families, others through their workplaces, businesses, education, caring for the elderly, healthcare, the arts, music, or community development.

When believers bring the love of Christ into their own everyday contexts, the gospel is no longer limited to the walls of a church building but can reach people who may never have stepped through the doors of a church.

At the same time, we do not see this as replacing the role of the church. Rather, we believe that both the church and every believer have an important role in working together to see the Kingdom of God established.

What brings our family the greatest joy is not seeing more followers, but seeing people grow to become a blessing to others and make an impact in the communities where God has placed them. We believe that lasting transformation begins one life at a time. When one life is changed, a family begins to change. When a family changes, a community begins to change. And when communities are transformed, we begin to see the Kingdom of God made visible.

Thank you for praying, supporting, and walking alongside us. Every partnership you make does far more than help us produce another piece of online content. Together, we are making disciples, raising up servants, and developing leaders who will carry the love of Christ into the real world.

 

Ministry Highlights

Teaching Thai to Burmese People

new lifeFor the past 12 years, our ministry has supported a Burmese church in Thailand. As conflict continues in Myanmar, many Burmese families have fled to Thailand in search of safety and work. The church has become a place of welcome, community, and hope for those beginning a new life. 

For me, the classroom is much more than a place to teach Thai. It is where genuine friendships are built. As a Thai follower of Jesus, I want my students to experience God's love through care, encouragement, and simply spending time together. In Christ, there is no distinction of race, nationality, or background. 

Our first class began with 25 students. Today 13 continue to attend faithfully, including two who have not yet decided to follow Jesus. However, I can see that their hearts are opening, and I believe it will not be long before they choose to follow Him. I pray that God will help these Burmese students grow in confidence as they learn to listen, speak, read and write Thai, so they can build stable lives in Thailand, find better employment opportunities, and provide well for their families. 

Three Years of Walking Together

connecting onlineThis year, we celebrated the third anniversary of our online fellowship. What began as a small group gathering online has grown into a spiritual family connecting people across Thailand and around the world. During our celebration, we shared Communion online and listened to testimonies of how God has worked through our YouTube and TikTok ministry. Each story reminded us that God continues to transform lives in unexpected ways. 

Today, our online family includes Thai people living in Canada, Germany, and the United States, as well as people from many different backgrounds, including Catholics, Protestants, Buddhists, and those searching for truth. Although each person begins the journey from a different place, I thank God most for seeing many of them grow into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. 

Training Volunteers from the Netherlands

training to serveOn 21 July, I had the opportunity to train 20 volunteers from the Netherlands through the Siam-Care Foundation as they prepared to serve in Thailand. During the training, we explored Thai culture, building relationships with people, and practical ways of sharing the gospel that reflect the example of Jesus. I believe that evangelism does not begin with methods or techniques, but with listening, serving, and building genuine relationships so that people can experience God's love through our lives. My prayer is that these principles will become a foundation for their ministry - not only while serving in Thailand, but wherever God leads them in the future. May they share the gospel with the same heart as Jesus, walking alongside people with love, understanding, and truth.

 
 

When Ordinary Faith Leads to Extraordinary Miracles

growing in confidenceP'Kae first discovered our YouTube channel about three years ago. Since then, she has joined our online evangelism and discipleship training, attended our Wednesday morning Bible study, and participated regularly in our weekly video calls. Although she had completed the evangelism training, P'Kae often thought to herself, "I'm not good at speaking. Even after all the training, I still don't know how to share my faith with other people."

One day her relative, Riam, told her that doctors suspected she might have colon cancer and that she was waiting for the biopsy results. P'Kae did not know how to explain who Jesus was, so she simply encouraged Riam to pray every day, saying, "Jesus, please help me. Please don't let it be cancer." Even though Riam was still a Buddhist, she followed P'Kae's suggestion and prayed every day, the doctors confirmed that she did not have cancer. 

Riam later told P'Kae that she wanted to know Jesus better. P'Kae admitted that she did not know how to explain the Christian faith very well. Instead, she sent Riam the New You New Life video series for new believers from our channel. Today, Riam watches one episode each day and prays along with it daily.

Not long afterwards, another neighbour shared with P'Kae how distressed she was because her daughter, who had suffered from kidney disease, had been waiting for a kidney transplant for 11 years with no idea how much longer the wait would be. Once again, P'Kae simply encouraged her to pray to Jesus, reassuring her, "Whether you believe or not is okay. Just talk to Jesus every day."  

About a month later, the hospital informed them that a matching kidney had become available, and today the transplant surgery has been successfully completed. 

These two experiences gave P'Kae much greater confidence. Today, she is committed to encouraging those who are sick and those who are going through difficult times in her village, because she has seen that many people begin to open their hearts to Jesus after simply praying to Him. 

What touches us most is that P'Kae has never considered herself someone who is good at sharing the gospel. She simply tells others what God has done in her own life. And when she does not know how to explain something, she simply shares the videos that have helped her. 

This is the kind of discipleship we long to see. Not everyone is able to teach the Bible, but everyone can share hope and help others come to know Jesus. 

Today, P'Kae has been following Jesus for six years. Although she is no longer able to travel to church as she once did, our online Bible studies, weekly video calls, and the content we share through our channel continue to help her grow in her faith. 

She also shared that God has not only transformed her own life but has also restored the relationships within her family. Her daughter, who had once been distant, has become more loving, caring, and attentive than ever before. For P'Kae, this is another answer to prayer and another way she has seen God at work in her life.

 

Prayer and Praise Points

growing ministry1) New believers will continue growing in their relationship with Jesus through His word
2) More ordinary believers will gain confidence to share Christ naturally with family, friends and neighbours
3) The Burmese believers we serve will continue to grow in faith, confidence, and practical life skills as they build new lives in Thailand
4) God will continue opening doors for training, discipleship, and partnership so that more lives may be transformed through Christ
5) Pray as we prepare a new series of online videos specifically designed to reach people living in provinces where there are very few Christians and churches. Our initial focus will include the southern provinces of Pattani, Vala, and Narathiwat, where most of the population is Muslim, as well as several central provinces where Christian communities are also very small. 
6) Pray that God will prepare hearts to receive his Word, and that many people from these provinces will respond by contacting us, requesting a Bible, or joining one of our online discipleship groups as they begin exploring who Jesus is.
