Long-Term Mentoring

Children at Risk

Some of the children we minister to do not have a place to live or go to school. We teach and lead the children in studying the Bible, Bible memorization and singing Christian songs. Approximately 35 tribal spirit- worshipping children, ages eight to twelve years old, now have a very good church building and dormitory, which was painted last year by a team from the USA.

Abundant Life Center

The Abundant Life Center (ALC) project began in May 2010. The objective is to provide children at risk with a Christian home environment and schooling. In 2010 there were 18 children staying in this home. They came from poor tribal families of six villages in northern Thailand. Without FLC’s Abundant Life Center, many might otherwise go to Buddhist temples for education.

We house, feed, and educate over 23 children from different villages on our second property, the Agricultural Development Center (ADC) near KLC. The children attend the local public schools and receive Bible and English instruction from their caregivers. On this agricultural land, they also do light chores while learning about farming and animal husbandry.

Hostels

FLC supports a number of hostels in northern Thailand. Girls and boys come from the remote Thai villages which do not offer any education opportunities. They live in the hostels and attend Thai public schools.

With other skills, Bible and English are taught outside school hours in the hostels. This provides children who otherwise face a dim future without opportunities for advanced education and good employment.

Home of Blessing

Pastor Sayan and his wife Siriporn run a hostel house to educate poor, at-risk tribal girls to prevent them from falling into prostitution or other high-risk situations in their villages.

The Home of Blessing currently houses 120 girls. FLC contributes resources to further the work, which continues to reach more girls every year.

Some of the women who received a strong start at the Home of Blessing are now in leadership roles in business and ministry throughout Thailand.
