Ten women reach 7,000 in Thailand (16/06/2009)

What influence can one person have? In Thailand, ten women’s workers have visited, encouraged and taught 7,000 Karen women.

The Karen are a tribal people group living on the Thai/Burma border. BMS World Mission works with the Karen Baptist Convention (KBC), and supports nine of the ten women’s workers of the Thailand Karen Baptist Women’s Union (TKBWU). The Union has ten Associations and 147 churches, with over 7,000 members in the women’s group.

The women’s workers visit the churches in their Association. Their work includes:

Leading Bible studies
Leading worship and prayer, and teaching new songs
Visiting people who are ill or have problems
Encouraging the women to work together
Teaching handicrafts
Attending leadership training and meetings

"The Lord has done great things for me, I am very glad. Thank you so much for this opportunity to work with the women’s group.
