Thailand |
In August, 2016, Matt and Amber, along with their children Daxon and Zala, moved to Thailand. As the International Coordinator of Relief and Development for Imagine Thailand, Matthew gives direction to Imagine's humanitarian work. Working with our local and international partners, we’re creating lasting change and fulfilling Imagine Thailand's vision of reaching Thailand by building practical and meaningful bridges into communities of need. Matthew also serves as the Thai Representative for ChildCARE Plus, ERDO's child sponsorship program, which serves nearly 600 children in 20 locations around Thailand.
As the Coordinator of Emerging Leaders for Imagine Thailand, Amber facilitates and oversees our various Emerging Leader Initiatives throughout Thailand. This includes coordinating Short-Term teams and internships, leadership development initiatives, and helping to facilitate opportunities for emerging Thai leaders to serve in marginalized communities within Thailand. As a member of the Board for Thailand Pentecostal Seminary, Amber is passionate about developing healthy leaders. Amber also serves as part of the Thai Field Lead Team helping to build relationships, coordinate strategy, and oversee integration between our PAOC Global Workers and the Full Gospel Assemblies of Thailand.
Daxon and Zala are busy making friends, learning lots at school, and working to understand who Jesus is and what He means not only to them, but also to the people of the place we call home.
Prayer Requests:
1. For wide open doors into the various communities we serve
2. For our family as we welcome our 3rd child later this year
3. For our kids as they work to understand who Jesus is and why we have moved to Thailand
4. For physical, emotional and spiritual strength as we serve in a country with little Christian presence
