Spiritual Landscape in Thailand
Christianity in Thailand has a history of mission worker presence going back around 200 years, yet less than one per cent of the population identify as Christian today. The nation remains predominantly Buddhist, with religious and cultural life deeply rooted in Buddhist practices and beliefs.
Despite this, the Thai national church has a compelling vision called Love Thailand 1-1-1: to see 1 million Christians, 10,000 churches, and 10,000 Christian leaders raised up in the coming years. While there are many established churches and Christian organisations, the need for gospel outreach and church growth remains significant.
Please pray
- For the budding new church plant in the south of Chiang Mai and for God to use his workers to be his beacon of light in these areas
- For perseverance for the team in Ayutthaya (North of Bangkok), doing church planting, community outreach and university ministry.
- For God to use his workers, with all their training and skills, for his glory
- For the SIM sending team who mobilise, train and send out Thai workers. Pray for an increase in Thai mission workers sent out by SIM
