Sabbath in Thailand


Let me tell you about one Sabbath. Our family went to a new church plant. When we got there, they were praying. To show respect to God they wai when they pray.


Another way they show respect to God is to take off their shoes before going inside.


In Thailand not too many boys and girls know about Jesus. But when they learn about Him, they are eager to get involved and learn more.


One thing they don’t have here are weekly Sabbath School Lessons with the stories in them. Sometimes we share stories from the lessons we brought from home.

They especially like fun action songs. The songs help them learn English too. And they are teaching us some songs in Thai. We are eager to learn their language so we can communicate better.

There are many small groups worshipping all across Bangkok. And often the children lead out in church. It is exciting to see their joy in worshipping the true God in heaven.
