BANGKOK, THAILAND

Bangkok, Thailand is a bustling metropolis of 14 million, both deeply engrained with Thai culture and Buddhism, and home to a growing and increasingly Westernized middle class. Yet, Bangkok is also a city plagued by corruption, sexual oppression, and poverty, the capital of a country in which the vast majority have never heard the hope of the gospel.

The MTW team in Bangkok is dedicated to advancing the kingdom of God in Thailand. Partnering closely with Thai national pastors, they support a church-planting network that has been growing throughout the city since 2000, and are deeply committed to gospel-driven evangelism and discipleship, building relationships with Thais, and building up Thai national leadership in church plants around the city. Though it is slow and difficult at times, real change, real redemption, real hope happens in Bangkok, and the beauty of that is worth the struggle.
