Dustin & Melissa Leland
Dustin and Melissa Leland have a passion for unreached people groups. With no one to tell them about Jesus, billions of people are facing a Christ-less eternity. Because of this injustice, Dustin and Melissa feel called to share the gospel with them. Their goal is to develop indigenous transformational leaders and to see a gospel movement spread among these people groups.
Cory & Brooke Jackson
Cory and Brooke Jackson experienced the love of Jesus through their families and church families from a very young age. This played a major role in softening their hearts toward the truth of the Gospel and they believe the Holy Spirit worked through their relationships with others to lead each of them to a personal relationship with Jesus. This is why they are actively pursuing a ministry focusing on training and discipleship in the country of Thailand. Thailand has over 69 million inhabitants, and an influx of over 6 million tourists annually. It is also a country where being Buddhist is part of one's cultural identity. Over 98% of Thai's identify as Buddhist and in a country that is smaller than the US state of Texas, there are over 35,000 Buddhist temples. Cory and Brooke are excited to work alongside their team to train and disciple Thai believers. The prayerful goal is to see a gospel movement happen in Thailand that would impact not only the Thai people, but the surrounding unreached people groups as well.
Todd & Karen Indehar
We came to Thailand in 2005 after sensing God's call to ignite a passion for the supremacy of Jesus Christ as the only true Lord and Savior among the Thai people. Since then we have been working among the poor seeking to start church planting movements.
Please pray that God would unleash his Spirit and his Word in Thailand so that many Thai people, who have traditionally been highly resistant to the gospel, will taste and see that Jesus is real, good and worthy of their worship.
We are seeking short and long-term partners who will come to Thailand and join us in our work both in Bangkok and in northern Thailand. We are especially looking for some people to join us long-term to plant churches in northern Thailand as part of the Uttaradit CPM project (more information here).
Please pray for more church planting missionaries to come to Thailand, for more Thai people to become disciples of Jesus Christ.
Prayer requests for Cory & Brooke:
Pray for us and our children adjusting again to new people, places and rhythms.
Pray for opportunities to share our lives and the love of Christ here in Lopuri.
Pray for wisdom for our teammates (The Leland’s) in Udon connecting with local believers and beginning to pursue opportunities for ministry.
Pray for peace and patience for our hearts each day as we are parenting our kids through a difficult season for them.
