What happens when you open a window?

There's a window that few will open.  It's not in a home, but it belongs to over 4 billion people, (that's 2/3 of the world's population).  85% of  them are the poorest of the poor, and most of them have never heard the message of salvation....not even once. Who will open the window and share Christ, His story of redemption that breathes life into lost souls, cleansing hearts like wind moving through a stuffy, stale house?  Let me show you the window.


This area is called the 10-40 window.  For every $100 given to Christian ministry, 1 penny is given to this area of the world. 1 out of every 10 missionaries will serve here.  Our family desires to serve in this window of opportunity.

The Lord has called us to work with other missionaries in and around Chiang Mai, Thailand, providing educational support to their children.  Many missionary families homeschool (most out of necessity) but not all of them have the necessary resources. We will come alongside them, by partnering with Grace International School, to provide testing, training, curriculum and assistance in college preparation.  By serving in this way, 10 missionary families are able to stay on the field and continue the work God has called them to: preaching, caring for the homeless, orphans, and refugees, or learning a tribal language to translate Bibles into the people's native tongue.

99% of the people in Thailand are not Christians and many have never heard the message of Christ. What's most exciting to us is being able to share God's Word and minister to the people of Chiang Mai, and to some of the 120,000 Burmese refugees. 

Please pray for the families already serving and pray that God provides the financial resources for us to join them.  We will not be receiving a salary in Thailand, so we are praying for people (like you) to join our ministry by donating money on a monthly basis or as you are able to give.

Do you feel the Lord impressing a need upon your heart to go to the 10-40 window?  You can find more information at The Joshua Project's website.

"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; 
 and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, 
 and to the ends of the earth.”  Acts 1:8
