Thailand is home to almost 70 million, with an overwhelming majority of the population identifying as Buddhist (88%). Temples play an important role in everyday life for Thai people as a place to pray to Buddha, seek advice from monks, and merit making. One of a Buddhist’s most important tasks is to earn merit. Merit accumulates from good deeds or thoughts and is a key factor in determining the quality of life you will receive next.  

Church planters have been in Thailand for more than 100 years. Yet, in Bangkok, the capital city of over 13 million people, there are few churches.  

In a culture that requires individuals to earn their merit, there is great HOPE for Thai people in the Gospel – a story of Good News based on mercy and love.  

Will you #HopeWithUs for Thailand by bringing this Good News to the people?
