One of the greatest privileges in my life is the call of God to ministry and the privilege to minister in Thailand the last 40 years. It has been one of those Ephesians 3:20 experiences… Exceedingly abundantly above all I could ask or think.
God is Moving in Thailand… When we came here in 1986, Thailand had less than ½% Christians in a population of 60 million. Today the percentage of Christians in the three main provinces we minister in ranges from 10–13%. It has been phenomenal.
It’s Planting Time… To everything there is a season and this is Church Planting Season. We have eight new applications for church construction projects. Our graduates and ministry colleagues continue to reach further planting churches and expanding the Kingdom of God.
Double Matching Gift Opportunity… For every $5000 we can raise for a new church plant, the ICM organization double matches the gift. A typical church can range anywhere from $20,000 for a very basic structure to $100,000 or more depending on size and style. These are costs of materials only as we get most labor costs donated. We require the congregation to get skin in the game as well.
Each Project is a Miracle to Behold… Brathip has been with us for 39 years now and has been involved in every one of the 275 church projects we have completed. Brathip encourages congregations to trust God and step out in faith. In case after case, we have seen God move. When the project is launched the people get excited and give financially and through “sweat equity.” Other churches sow gifts to help and we have even seen other denominations sow seed in these projects.
It Starts with a Seed… The whole process is dependent on the $5000 seed to get things rolling. We have eight new projects that need funding. Could you plant a seed for another church to be built? We have the capacity to build 15 churches a year…we just need the seed money to get them started.
It is our honor and privilege to represent you in foreign missions.
God Bless You Richly
