I walk down the quiet Bangkok street. Many roof covered tables sit along the sidewalk. Such diversity. Everywhere. One stand is selling meat snacks, the next one is selling bed sheets, while another is selling clothes. People are everywhere just like any big city. But this city is different…

This city is populated with 12 million people! 12 million! The percentage of Christians is just a few percent. The vast majority of these people have never even heard of Jesus name! They don’t know anything about Him! They have no knowledge of the One who gave His life for them.

In Africa I saw Christians everywhere. There were many churches all around in the towns. Many signs around the towns demonstrated a Christian foundation and knowledge of Christ. But here in Thailand there’s almost no Christian influence among the Thai people. They speak a language I can’t even understand. The letters look like scribbles to my English trained mind. It’s not even close to English. And yet, someone must reach out to them.

God doesn’t call His people to an easy work. Instead He calls us to the opposite. It’s not easy. It’s not fun and games. It requires us to get out of our comfortable zone.

I think of the group of missionary interests that I’m with. Many of them have never traveled overseas before. For many of them coming to Thailand was definitely getting out of their comfort zone. They were afraid of it. They did it anyway. Now they’ve found that getting around in a foreign Asian country isn’t that bad after all. Time to move on!

Tomorrow we go to Cambodia. Next week we go to India. Even though finances want to stop us, though our faith might fail us, forward we go. People need to hear about the Gift that Christ has give to them! Missionaries need to go… I pray that resulting from this trip, more missionaries will be sent to these places where there is No Knowledge.
