The Ethnic Thai of Thailand

Ethnic Thai culture is steeped in the belief that the cycle of death and rebirth continues until broken through enhanced personal wisdom. Buddhism is an intrinsic part of Ethnic Thai culture with many believing to be Thai is to be Buddhist. This makes it challenging for Ethnic Thai people to see how they can follow Jesus without rejecting their culture and community.

God is at work among the Ethnic Thai and He is drawing people to Himself. Over the past years, the team has built relationships within their community, begun to share stories of Jesus and walked with people as they have chosen to follow Him. This journey to faith is by the grace of God. Praise God that numerous faith communities are now regularly meeting and local leaders are being equipped to teach and lead their own people. These small faith communities are discovering what it means to follow Jesus in a distinctively Thai way.

Prayer Guide 2021 - Buddhist Lent 
Team Leader Muana writes, “Every year during Buddhist Lent, approximately 64 million Thai Buddhists practise their spirituality through meditation and merit making. Much like how our churches have prayed for Muslims during Ramadan, this is a great opportunity for us to cover our Thai brothers and sisters in prayer during this sacred season.

We invite you to pray each week for an aspect of Baptist Mission Australia's work in Thailand.”
