About
In 2024, conversations were forming about a partnership between IMB missionaries and the Chilhowee Baptist Association. Now that dream is a reality as we send teams annually to work with Blount County natives who serve long-term in Thailand.


We work directly with a local church in the Bangkok area, supporting their ongoing gospel efforts. Community outreach and English classes are the two primary means of discipleship. We assist with an all-day community carnival for Children's Day (a Thai holiday equivalent to Christmas), followed by a week of community outreach in tenement housing and English classes for the children in the area using Bible stories and parables.
Teaching English every afternoon for five days may not seem like much, but these five days of classes would cost the factory-employed parents more than a month's salary per child. Freely providing this education without the financial commitment testifies to the compassion of our Lord Jesus.
If you are interested in taking the gospel to the nations, complete the inquiry form below, as our team has limited space.
Testimonials
"We not only had the joy of working with a local church in their ongoing outreach, but we were also able to encourage and strengthen the pastor and long-term missionaries. We even got to babysit to allow them some time to themselves for refreshment. The church hosts a community center, and we were blessed to help reach children in the community with the gospel." –Faith
