This is a new trip for Global Encounters! We are so excited to be partnering with Within Reach Global to engage in children’s ministry to one of the most unreached parts of the world.
Covid Update – 04/08/22: Right now Thailand still requires the covid vaccine or a quarantine period, but the government has announced that they will drop all covid rules on July 1. This could change, but we think there is a very good chance that the vaccine will not be an issue by October. If this is a concern for you, add a note about it on your application. We won’t book tickets without confirming that you’re good with whatever the current requirements are in October (which hopefully will be nothing!).
Team Activities
Thailand is well known as one of the most sought after tourist destinations in the world! It is a beautiful country with kind, gentle people. However, did you also know that it is one of the most unreached countries in the world? Christians only make up 1.17% of the population. Millions of people in Thailand have literally never even heard of Jesus before.
In addition to working with the Thai people, we are also planning to work with Burmese refugees who have crossed into Thailand to avoid the civil war currently tearing their own country apart.
Join this team to share the gospel where it has not been heard before and love on kids whose lives have been turned upside down! It’s going to be an adventure you don’t want to miss!
