Like other large cities, Bangkok has diverse people living throughout. Bangkok is a safe and affordable city to live as a foreigner. Thailand is less than 1 percent Christian and is a constitutional monarchy with freedom of religion, so there are no restrictions for sharing the gospel.

Language Expectations:
Language is an essential part of ministry. Those who do not know the language will attend a language study program. The goal will be to speak, read, and write the language at a functional level in order to mentor, teach, and train others.
Workers will receive one year of intense language classes and cultural acquisition. The second year will emphasize opportunities to use the language in different ministry settings and increase proficiency. Learning the language should be a lifelong goal. This will greatly enhance ministry and ability to impact people for Christ.
Health Considerations:
Thailand has good health-care facilities and well-trained doctors, and most medications are readily available and inexpensive.
Expectations for Spouse:
Spousal roles vary based on the spouse’s gifts, training, and abilities as well as the needs of the team. It is expected that both spouses will be meaningfully involved in meeting ministry objectives depending on the nature of family roles, children, etc.
Children’s Education:
There are numerous international schools in Bangkok, and homeschooling is always an option.
Compensation Package
The successful applicant(s) will receive a full compensation package with the expectation that, once appointed, efforts will be made to raise a portion of support costs through the applicant’s network of friends, family, local church, or other resources. Information on support costs will be made available upon application. Training and/or coaching in fundraising is available.
Whole-Life Health
As part of an evangelical denomination, we are committed to biblical holism, which is modeled and reflected through our work. Due to this commitment, part of the required qualifications includes optimal emotional, spiritual, and physical health. These will be assessed during the application process.
Important Clarification
Applicant(s) should be aware that serving in the international world often requires a higher degree of grace and flexibility. For example, overseas teams can be suddenly and unexpectedly impacted by illness, government decisions, financial realities, team changes, or other factors beyond the team’s control. The challenge for applicants is that these factors can sometimes necessitate the sudden redefining of a position, which may take place before, during, or after the application/interview process has begun or is completed.
