From Brazil to Bangkok ... Field Director Davi Pezzato shares his own story of being called to mission, and the opportunities and challenges it has brought.
**Link to the story is in the comments**

Sneak peak into the article:
"What are some highlights?

It’s hard to choose. It’s watching Jesus manifested in places I never expected. It’s sensing the Spirit’s presence in a culture so different from my own, and realising God was already there long before I arrived.

It’s sitting in a circle as a brand-new believer stumbles through their first Bible study — nervous, voice trembling — and yet their face shines with joy. It’s being in a big meeting packed with more than 100 ethnic groups, all lifting their voices in worship as one family.

These moments remind me that this is not my project or my achievement. This is God’s story unfolding — and the greatest privilege of my life is simply to step into it."

If you haven’t yet seen our Land of Smiles magazine, here’s a sneak peak into the first article— meeting our Field Director Davi Pezzato! ✨

He shares his own story of being called to mission in Thailand, and the opportunities and challenges it has brought.

As Christmas time in Thailand is a “season of outreaches,” last month many people heard the Gospel, the story of hope, of light in the darkness. Many heard it for the first time in their lives – others have heard it many times already. Please join us in prayer for the Gospel to take root:

- Pray for people who have heard the gospel for the first time to open their hearts to God
- Pray for people who have heard the gospel many times already to understand God’s grace and to start following Him
- Pray for children who grow up in Christian homes to come to a living faith themselves, not just following a Christian tradition or lifestyle
- Pray for Christians who are troubled by sin, to repent and rejoice in God’s forgiveness and to get up again and continue to follow the Lord joyfully

"Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit." - Psalm 51:10-12

Not your typical 9-to-5! Imagine a week where you get to:

☕Grab coffee and hear a student’s story.

📖Lead a group into a deeper understanding of Scripture.

⛪Partner with local churches to build a stronger community.

🌱Watch a student go from "curious" to "disciple-maker."

Do you have a heart for students and a passion for the Gospel? We’re looking for mentors to walk alongside campus students as they navigate life and faith.

Rina & Puii are rejoicing that they were given the "go" to start teaching English and sharing about Jesus at a local college last semester (see story for more details!). They are looking for a capable Thai Christian to help open and lead a student center.

This week (Jan 19-23) the second part of the church planting workshop Project Paul will take place in Bangkok.

- Pray for the Holy Spirit to lead the attendees in listening, discerning, and learning as they hear about and discuss various aspects of church planting
- Pray for the attendees to see how those various aspects of church planting could play out in their local contexts
- Pray for the Lord’s guidance when the attendees think about ministry plans for their local contexts as well as reflecting on what they have implemented already after the first week
- Pray for the facilitators to connect well with the attendees and be able to teach and facilitate well
- Pray for the Lord to prepare the people in the cities and villages that the attendees are ministering in, may many hear the Gospel and start to trust Jesus and grow as disciples – especially in areas where there are no churches or cell groups yet.

For a long time, this small village in Northeastern Thailand had no local church and no gospel witness. But God is doing something brand new!

It started with a city church reaching out for Bible studies. Then, a colleague invited OMF missionary Bruno Granja Vila Nova to start a soccer project for the local youth.

In a community where many fathers are absent and mothers work in another city, these teens were looking for a place to belong. Since September, they've found it on the pitch! Please pray for these young players as they hear about God's love for the very first time. 🙌

As the new year begins, many of us are setting fresh goals and priorities. Let’s take this week to pray for our brothers and sisters in Thailand as they are also discerning their priorities and goals.

- Pray that they set wise priorities and live-giving goals.
- Pray for a deep hunger for God’s Word and to spend time reading and meditating on it
- Pray that God’s Word would encourage, challenge, and shape Thai Christians, so that they will grow in understanding and love for the Lord
- Pray that Christians keep their minds fixed on the things mentioned in Philippians 4:8, knowing that a God-honouring life flows from this perspective
- Pray for the Lord’s protection against the many ‘voices’ from society that tell us how to be successful, accepted, loved, etc. - and by that set our focus on ourselves rather than on God and His way for us (Phil 4:8)
- Pray for this year to be a time of fresh faith, renewed vision, and Spirit-led growth for Christians in Thailand

"And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise." -Philippians 4:8
