The Body of Christ in Thailand


So, just where does the Free Methodist fit into the organizational structures of the Body of Christ in Thailand, you ask?

Besides the CCT (Church of Christ in Thailand), the EFT (Evangelical Fellowship of Thailand) and the TBC (Thailand Baptist Convention) there are 18 independent church organizations which are not part of the three councils.  The Free Methodists have created their own Foundation under which it operates in Thailand.

Finally there are 359 independent churches that are not a member of any other organization. 

When all the church data is summarized there are 150 different groups or denominations that have planted churches in Thailand over the past 180 years.  Praise the Lord!

We join Dwight and MaryKay in giving praise to the Lord that regardless of council, organization, or denomination the majority of the churches in Thailand are involved with Vision 2015.  Churches members from all over this nation are committed to being "One out of 100,000 to reach one million for Christ by the year 2015."

Would you join us in praying for the hundreds of church members and leaders from all over the country of Thailand who are taking seriously this audacious God-sized goal and pray that the church would be used of the Lord so that thousands will come to know Christ and become disciple makers themselves.
