Hope for Life Thailand

Hope for Life Thailand’s vision is to see people, families and local churches revitalised and living out the radical grace of God as disciples who make disciples. Efforts are focused on applying and refining its 10+ years of ministry experience to develop models for the church for building disciples and transforming lives.

Hope for Life Thailand’s ministry approach focuses on three key aspects:

  • CONCRETE (TANGIBLE) AREA: Focused effort in a community with significant issues of brokenness, through an outreach hub (Shalom House) and targeted local ministries.
  • NETWORK AREA: Strengthening and nurturing partnerships with local churches, organisations and community groups to expand ministry reach and impact.
  • LEARNING AREA: Refining ministry approach to develop tools and resources that will equip and empower the local church for effective and relevant ministry to people and communities impacted by brokenness.
