Nan is Prospering!


Our work in Nan province, started in 2001, continues to prosper! 
The commitment of our team to walk the mountain trails by foot, while carrying all their survival gear and supplies for others on their backs... eating and sleeping wherever invited...
Fighting the good battle of faith - both spiritually and physically...
Investing countless hours, which stretched into months and years in training the communities to identify their felt needs, find sustainable solutions and resources....while journeying alongside these precious people to bring transformation to their communities and beyond...

 This is about sharing the message of God's love in action...and when required - also in words


Rejoice with us as you look at these beautiful pictures taken at the Namwa River in the district of Boklua in Nan. Our T'Hin part of the family continues to grow in numbers and here are some special moments we would love to share with you!


Since the beginning of the year 2014, The River Team handed over the leadership of the local c..ch in this area to the mature T'Hin believers. The River continues in its commitment to providing training, empowerment and advise as needed. 

Needless to say, we are exceedingly glad about how the Lord builds His c..ch and how He uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things for His purposes to be fulfilled!

THE RIVER LOVES THAILAND = FULL LIFE BEGINS!

River Kids Summer Camp 2014

THE RIVER - FULL LIFE BEGINS! 

KIDS' CLUB CAMP 2014


At least 60 kids between the ages of 6 and 12 participated in the 3-day program, focused on leaving a lasting imprint of the message of VALUE, PURPOSE and the POWER OF CHOICE in these precious young hearts. Fun in the form of dancing, singing, games, dramas, eating and camp-style sleeping made the time together an absolute blast!


 The kids discovered that God is not far away, but right there with them! The amazing stories of the Bible came alive and at times, the squeals and laughter of the kids were the best part of it all!
Treasure hunts, bonfires, drama performances, swimming in the pool were also on the agenda!

The children were split into 4 teams for the duration of the camp - Blue, Orange, Green and Pink.  The teams were awarded points and the final day saw....
 the amazing Green Team win!

Life skills were taught to the boys and girls seperately - by gleaning principles from the Shine and Strength programs. The principles of self worth were impressed upon them - how SPECIAL and IMPORTANT every single humanbeing is!


80% of children that came are not from families that know the Living God.
The seeds planted will bear fruit! 

Check out this awesome video that Tim Perry put together of the week that was!
