HOW HAS MM HELPED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE THAI CHURCH?
Tammy and I spent the first 2.5 years of our ministry focusing on working with the local churches in Thailand, who mainly ministered to Thai nationals.
During that span of time we were able to help several organizations that continue to serve the Lord in His strength and might. This is a short summary of how we've partnered with churches and missions organization to accomplish the goals the Lord has placed on their hearts.
Ao Udom Christian Church- near Sri Racha, Chon Buri.

- Build up their community presence through English Learning Centers and the Broadcast Radio
- Help with home cells / church planting
- Disciple several believers, including some of the Christian Club of Kasetsart University through Multiplication Ministries "Getting to Know God Personally" series.

CHURCH PLANTING - HOME CHURCH NETWORK

INTERNATIONAL DELIVERANCE MINISTRIES
- We are personal friends with the founder Ajarn Leewat, as we were introduced to each other by YWAM Group Leader Cris Peioxoto. We participated in IDM's prayer and deliverance conference and we shared Multiplication Ministries discipleship training in Thai with his rapidly growing team. This is a specialized prayer and counseling ministry. The ministry teaches on spiritual warfare and dealing with those who have suffered spiritual and emotional problems, even in their life as a "church-goer". Ajarn Lee and his team have worked closely with the Home Church Network.
