Description

​​In the Central Plains, the heart of Thailand’s culture, history, and religion, there are over 5 million people who do not know God. Many of these have never even heard the name of Jesus. But God has raised up a remnant of Thai believers and churches. You will partner with these Thai Baptist churches in long-term cross-cultural ministry to engage cities, towns and villages through community development projects, evangelism, discipleship, and Bible teaching for the purpose of planting healthy reproducing churches. You will help us host kids’ camps, free tutoring classes, English corners, and other activities such as sports, music, and art. By caring for the children and youth in the community, you will help us earn the trust and respect of parents and community leaders and help local believers to share their lives with the community so they can share the gospel, start small groups, and plant new churches where there has never been a church.​​

Other Requirements

Residency – An opportunity to serve on mission for one or two semesters while being mentored by an IMB field missionary. Active members of Southern Baptist churches receive a subsidy, which includes travel to/from Orientation/Debrief at ILC, room and board at Orientation/Debrief, travel to/from the field and emergency insurance. There is no subsidy for applicants who are not members of a Southern Baptist Church. All monies raised or donated in excess of the stated cost of this particular Residency trip will be used to offset the additional, subsidized field cost expenditure for the student. These monies may also be used to supplement the broader cost of ministry related to the Residency program, in general. Application deadlines: Fall Residency trips: deadline to apply is May 1. Spring Residency trips: deadline to apply is October 1.
