Reaching – Planting – Training - Serving

Christ said that the opportunities for the harvest would be great, but the workers would be few, and this has never been truer than it is today in Thailand. The harvest is great...but there are so few workers. Lord, send us workers for the harvest.

We see our purpose in Thailand to be facilitators of the Word through an array of programs reaching the never-reached, planting churches where none exist today, training up a new generation of missionary and Thai church planters and disciple makers, and serving compassionately those who are at greatest risk in our community. 

Prayerfully consider joining our team, either as a prayer and financial supporter or as a member of our ministry team in Thailand. A month, a year, or a lifetime, whatever the length of service, your presence with us in Thailand will have an eternal impact on the Thai people you serve.

We frequently update our Facebook page. Follow https://www.facebook.com/TheVitalMessage for the latest prayer needs and updates.

Christmas is the time for Christmas songs. 
Christmas is a time for love, hope, and giving. 
Christmas is also the time for giving your heart to the Lord. 

This past Wednesday, our church planting team was invited to join Pastor Pranee for an outreach in a village near our home. Although Pastor Pranee lives about six hours away from our district, she heard from one of her church members that people in this community were receptive to the gospel. Our team joined her to host an impromptu Christmas outreach in this unreached community.


One of the community members at this outreach was Mrs. Fon. Following a gospel presentation, Ms. Daa, a church planting team member, had an opportunity to pray with Mrs. Fon. As Tammy observed these two Thai women, one Christian and the other Buddhist, join in prayer, she saw a dramatic change in Mrs. Fon. Mrs. Fon had just prayed to accept Jesus as her Lord and Savior. Her old life was done, and she was now a new creation in Christ.
Please join us in prayer…

Today at Happy English, we had a "Thanksgiving Sampler" for our students. We served everything in small cups so the students could get a taste of a traditional Thanksgiving meal. The ham, of course, was a big hit. At the beginning of the program, we asked each student to write what they were thankful for on a fall-themed leaf. One of our students who has been expressing a growing desire to know Jesus wrote “Thank you Jesus” on his leaf. Praise the Lord for the small steps of faith our students are taking.

This past weekend was Thailand's annual Mother's Day, and we were blessed to join a distant Assemblies of God church in their celebration. Because there are no churches in our area of Thailand, we had to drive two hours to Ban Nong Noi Church for this year’s celebration. Pastor Phat asked Tammy to pray for all the moms in the church. Tammy also prayed for Mr. Tein, a man who told us that his family had disowned him since he became a Christ follower. We told him we would pray for his family to know Jesus soon. 

Please join us in prayer…

  1. Pray for healing in Mr. Tein's family as he continues to follow Jesus despite his rejection from his family. Pray that his family will also follow Jesus. 
  2. Pray for Pastor Phat and her community of believers at Ban Nong Noi Church; may they be powerful witnesses of hope and salvation to all who live in this village.
  3. Continue to pray for Hannah as she is still experiencing health challenges.
  4. Pray for our team as we work to bring Jesus to the people of Srichiangmai and other never-reached villages in our area.

We continue to raise funds for our new Happy English Community Center and outreach programs. God blessed us with resources to remodel the community center and launch the educational outreach programs earlier this year; however, our budget did not include funding for the ongoing operations of this ministry. 

We currently need about $12,000 in additional donations to cover the operational costs until we return to the USA for itineration in fall 2025. Please scan the QR code or visit https://tinyurl.com/HappyEnglishProject to donate. Donations can be one-time or monthly recurring.

A Great Start - May 2023

The Brown Family in Thailand – The Vital Message, Year 19, Number 1

It is crazy how fast the time is flying by as we launch our new outreach programs and prepare to establish the church among a completely unchurched village in northeast Thailand.


Our new outreach program is called Happy English. We spent much of the fall and early winter season remodeling a building to turn it into a multi-purpose training center. Then, in January, we launched our first semester of Happy English.


In the starting of this new outreach program, we were blessed to have every available student slot filled for our three levels of training. Classes included beginning English for children, conversational English for youth, and an entrepreneurship training class using baking as the first business model.


In addition to English and career training, we are also passionately focused on the eternal prospects for our students and their families. Towards the end of the first semester, we started integrating Bible stories into our lessons and the children were fully engaged with these stories.

The Happy English Community Center was not on our radar when we returned to Thailand in 2019. God has blessed us with resources to remodel the community center and launch the educational outreach programs. However, our budget did not include funding for ongoing operations of this ministry.

Here are several ways that you can pray for us:

  1. Pray for our new outreach, Tea Time with Bible Studies.


  2. Pray for our team as we engage in weekly prayer walks throughout our village.

  3. Pray for Hannah as she has experienced a few health challenges this year.


  4. Pray for team unity as we continue to build this ministry.


Thank you for your prayers and your support for us as we work to bring Christ to the people of Srichiangmai.
