Bible Distribution in Thailand!

Greetings friends and family!

It is with great excitment that I would like to share with you about an opportunity to partner in bringing bibles to unreached people. In the next couple of months our YWAM outreach team will be heading to northern Thailand to partner with a group of long term missionaries. The leader has a vision to see the bible in the home of every Thai family in all of the villages of Chiang Rai provence. Our team will be adopting a village that could contain anywhere from 50-1200 homes and our goal will be to distribute bibles into every home in that village.

We know that there are two types of poverty: material poverty and spiritual poverty, and it is the goal of YWAM to aliviate both kinds of poverty. A specific vision has been given to leadership to bring an end to bible poverty world wide, with a push to have the bible translated into every language on earth by 2020. In Thailand the bible has been available in an antiquated version of Thai for a while, but that version was difficult for the average person to read. A new Thai bible version has recently been released in common Thai so now many more Thai people can actually read and understand the bible in their own language! We will be distrubuting these new bibles in our village.

How would you like to partner with us in bringing an end to bible poverty? Each bible costs only $2US, so if the village we are assigned to has 1200 homes we will need $2400US in order to reach everyone. If it turns out we have a smaller village and money is left over, that money will go directly to other teams to distribute bibles in other villages. As we go door to door bringing a message of hope and the love of Christ we will also be able to leave families with the gift of a bible but we need your help to make this vision a reality! Your donation of just $10 means that 5 families will get the opportunity to read the bible for the first time. Will you join with us and #endbiblepovertynow?

If you would like to donate, you can send an email money transfer to laurenmgoodwin@gmail.com and put "Bibles" in the memo line. Or you can pay through paypal at paypal.me/laurengoodwin

Here is our awesome team! I love these people so much! We come from Canada, USA, Korea, South Africa, and Brazil going with one heart and mind to serve the people of South East Asia.
