GARY AND MICHELLE FORD have started a budding church in Bangkok, made up of young believers and not-yet-Christians. The focus of their mission work is twofold: planting the church and building a Business as Mission (BAM) venture, La Mesa Coffee Co. “We’ve seen God do bigger things than we could have ever imagined ... we see the effectiveness of this BAM approach in reaching Bangkok and the surrounding area by making disciples and showing Christ love.” This venture was only about 18 mos. old when Covid came to Thailand. They were able to make changes and still grow, but recent waves of COVID have had a major impact. Funding is needed to continue the work as the economy recovers. They ask for prayers for wisdom and peace, as well.

CAMBODIA CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES began when Sokhom Hun, an elder in the Cambodian Church of Christ in Balch Springs, Texas, made his first visit back to Cambodia in 2001 since having fled during the Vietnam War. He saw a great need for Jesus. He sold his business and started a preacher training school in Phnom Penh. As it grew, the school-sponsored medical mission trips to rural, tribal areas. When the tribal leaders asked, “Why do you do this? Neither the Buddhists, Hindus, nor the government helps us.” Sokhom’s answer: “We help because we worship the living God.” Tribal leaders began asking if their young men could attend the school. Every 2 years, about 20 new preachers are trained. They return to their villages to share Jesus. Online and on-site classes are available, now, as well. They have 3 full-time doctors at a clinic on the campus and continue to make medical trips and hold gospel meetings in the rural areas each year.
