Bangkok 2011 - Mission Details
THE BASICS
Dates: 30 Dec 2010 – 10 Jan 2011
Sending Organisation: International Teams
Receiving Organisation: Sampat Chiwit Church
“Going Team”: Steve & Debbie White, Ollie & Annette Arjonilla, Matt Kent, Kelly Denison, Amy Jackson
“Sending/Supporting Team”: The rest of the church – including YOU!
THE BACKGROUND
International Teams put Steve & Debbie in touch with Cecille, a long-term missionary based in Bangkok, and they then met with her and Pastor Chatchai in December while on their honeymoon. Sampat Chiwit Church was planted about 3 years ago, and the leadership was handed over to Chatchai this year. The church is very small, and they are very much looking forward having us visit.
TEAM UPDATE
We have set up a display in the church foyer, and you may have noticed that the “Going” team has shrunk. Alby Koster and Mike & Sandy Cole have reluctantly pulled out of the team, for various reasons. We're disappointed that we won't have the benefit of their age & wisdom, and on future trips we hope to have a few older team members going. But with this being more of a “scouting” trip to explore how our partnership with Sampat Chiwit Church will work, we still think that we'll have a very fruitful trip with the seven team members still on board.
THE PLANS
Pastor Chatchai has asked us to be involved in the following ministries:-
English teaching (as an outreach activity)
Teaching their music team some new songs
Steve & Ollie preaching at their Sunday services
Running mid-week teens & womens' groups (which many non-Christians attend)
