Teaching the Word to believers among the Firstlight Fellowship Church Network – Thailand, and churches in Laos, last month.
Places like these is something that I (Dan) have become very accustom to. Asian style house church meetings were believers gather for worship, prayer, teaching, fellowship, training and more. Sitting on straw mats or sometimes on small plastic chairs in store front type buildings, they are becoming the Church – the Body of Christ in their communities. And something great is happening in each location.
Over the past seven years a network of five churches are being planted in Thailand, and we continue to pursue training opportunities in several of the neighboring counties in the region. Three trainings took place in Thailand one in Laos last month. PTL!
No matter how many times I do this, there is always at least one experience that stands out above the rest. This time it was in Laos. Leaders from several churches gathered for a half a day training. We taught on the life and ministry of the early disciples, some of the events in the life of Christ, and church planting principles from the book of Acts. Return visits are being planned for 2015.
