Thailand is a country known for many things.  Often referred to as "The Land of Smiles," the nation boasts of its well-renowned beaches and lush jungles, its well-preserved cultural traditions and its many ethnic hilltribe groups, and its highly revered royal family, not to mention its delightful cuisine!

We have come to know Thailand as a place where we are able to share the love of our Lord and Savior.  In a country where more than ninety percent of the population nominally holds to Buddhism, WELS missionaries are working alongside nationals to share the Law and Gospel message found in the Bible.  The work is centered in the northern city of Chiang Mai, but extends out in satellite sites to the west, northeast, and south.

Please pray with us for God's blessing on His ministry here.  Pray that the Bible Institute and Seminary in Chiang Mai would continue to be a place that trains young people for roles as workers in the spiritually ripe harvest fields.  Pray that the Word of the Lord would reach all people in this nation of so many different languages and ethnicities.  Pray that many of those who come from "The Land of Smiles" will someday smile for all eternity at the throne of their King in heaven.
