Thailand Without Orphans Meeting - 20 May in Chiang Mai

Thailand Without Orphans Meeting - 20 May in Chiang Mai

It was so encouraging to see how God is opening doors in Thailand for Christians to serve orphans and vulnerable children. The government of Thailand is open to Christian initiatives, and for the Church to be activated to be involved in changing the orphan care situation in Thailand.

The vision for Thailand Without Orphans was presented at the Care For Children facility in Chiang Mai, during a meeting led by Dr. Buakab Ronghanam - secretary for the Evangelical Fellowship of Thailand.  35 participants shared together, prayed together and also had a presentation and discussion with WWO strategist, Lubo Hlavacka, about WWO Cornerstones and key strategies of the movement.   Craig Greenfield from Alongsiders also shared initiatives which may serve local churches to encourage young people to be involved in care for orphans and vulnerable children.
