Our Church's Mission

Mission Around the World ~ Thailand ~
Kim Brown oversees three Christ-like ministries for tribal people who are coping with the problems caused by AIDS, disabilities, and migration from their traditional villages to urban slums through the ministry of Integrated Ministries for Ethnic Minorities Foundation sponsored by the Thailand Karen Baptist Convention.

The House of Love is a home for women and children. This includes women who had been sold into prostitution, AIDS orphans, and children taken out of their homes by the Social Welfare Department because of abuse. Some of the residents do not have Thai citizenship and have few rights in Thailand.

The Christian Center for the Development of People with Disabilities reaches out to families who are caring for the disabled in tribal villages. The disabled are often hidden away. This project is designed to help the disabled reach their full potential and be accepted within their families and communities.

The House of Blessing day Care Center provides a safe place for children who live in the slums to come during the day. It prepares children to enter Thai schools, and also works to strengthen their families.

Language used in Ministry: Thai.

Mission Giving

Thank you for your giving to Missions on June 26th. $13.50 was received for our Budget. This enabled us to pay $900 for United Mission Basics, the Secret Place bill of $94.80 and $100 for New Church Development in New York State. Only $73 was received for One Great Hour of Sharing giving us a total of $477 - $273 short of our goal of $750. Last year we gave $1,011. There is still time to meet this year’s goal and to remember the help given to us after the flood several years ago.
