LifePoint Bangkok
Join a LifePoint Church Planting Team that will embark on a mission
to spark a movement that will multiply new disciples, leaders, and
churches in Bangkok, Thailand.
Bangkok, a booming mega city of over 15 million people, is the center
for commerce and education for all of Southeast Asia. Hundreds of
thousands of students from all over Asia come to study in Bangkok and
return to influence people in their home countries as leaders and
entrepreneurs. Less than one percent of more than 65 million people in
Thailand know Jesus Christ as their Savior.
This vocational missionary initiative requires a three-year commitment
for couples and two years for singles, with new team members rotating
on the team in the future. The initial team will go through the
following process:
