Unlike Christmas, which is celebrated all over Thailand, Easter is quite “unseen” here, mostly only observed in churches (or in settings catering to expats). During this week leading up to Good Friday and Easter, please join us in prayer for Thailand:

- Pray for Thai Christians to be filled with joy, thankfulness and awe of Jesus as they ponder upon all He did and does for them
- Pray for courage for Christians to share their joy, thankfulness and hope with people around them
- Praise the Lord that His salvation is completely by grace
- Pray for Thai people to understand that God’s salvation comes by grace, not by making merit – not even by doing “Christian things” like praying, reading the Bible, tithing, etc.
- Pray for Thai people to start trusting Jesus this week and thus to be filled with eternal hope

Many of us arrived in Thailand desiring to share hope and peace—but we unexpectedly found ourselves being the students! We've learned much from the Thai way of life:

We are so thankful for Dr. Gerry and Marjo, who supported OMF Thailand in a number of ways! For many years, Dr. Gerry was field medical advisor. Together, Dr. Gerry and Marjo also ran marriage courses, helped with childcare for many events, and provided member care in various and sundry ways.
Our presence can change places, but places can also change us. Marjo reflects:

The Evangelical Fellowship of Thailand (EFT) is a government recognised umbrella organisation for over 200 denominations, organisations, and seminaries. This coming week (March 24-26), the leaders of these denominations, organisations, and seminaries will meet for the General Assembly. During the meeting the new board will be elected.

- Please pray for unity within EFT on the national level as well as among local churches.
- Pray for a focus on reaching Thailand with the Gospel, by evangelism, discipleship and church planting.
- Pray that through all the discussions and decisions during the General Assembly, God’s kingdom would be built and His name honoured
- Pray for the Lord to bring suitable and kingdom minded leaders onto the new board of EFT
- Pray for the Lord to give wisdom and lead the board members by His Holy Spirit

Mt. 6.33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Sometimes God has us start re-using an ability that we had set aside for various reasons. Rebecca from Central Thailand shares about how one Thai child's interest in violin lessons has been growing into a music ministry!

Being a missionary means learning new habits or ways of life that we never expected (or maybe never even wanted, initially!)...

Please join us in prayer this week for missionaries in language and culture study after the first year in Lopburi:
- Pray for perseverance, discipline and diligence to carry on when it gets difficult
- Pray for good language helpers who can explain, dare to correct, and have words of encouragement
- Pray for a good balance of language study, ministry and family
- Pray for a thorough understanding of Thai culture in general and also regional/local contexts to be aware of
- Pray too for all missionaries to continually study the culture and language even when they have finished the required training

Two students from Central Thailand recently graduated from a Master's level course on disciple making movements! Mark Leighton, a former field director for OMF Thailand, was their cohort leader. Although Mark & his wife Becky are retired, they return frequently to Thailand for ministry reasons. Last month they traveled to Central Thailand to celebrate with these students!

Heavenly Father, we thank you for the new missionaries you have sent to Thailand to be witnesses of your grace and salvation to the Thai people. We pray for the many adjustments they are facing right now and in the coming months. May you give them perseverance to study the language and culture, strength to bear the heat, stomachs that can adjust to the food.

But even more, we pray for them to be secure in their identity in Christ when they face everyday life in this new culture – not being able to speak or understand, not knowing how to behave in a culturally appropriate way. Let them look up to you each day – being refreshed by your faithfulness, grace, and presence – rejoicing in being your children and knowing you will lead them one day at a time.
