GRN Thailand
UNLESS SPECIFIED IN THE COMMENTS, YOUR GIFTS WILL GO TO ONE OF THESE IMPORTANT PROJECTS, AS MOST NEEDED.
NYEU: Recording, Distribution and Followup. There are 11,000 speakers of the Nyeu language located in the Southeastern part of Isaan, but there are only a few Nyeu Christians and because there has not been much follow-up or any resources to help them, most of the Christians have drifted away. After researching the Nyeu language, GRNT decided to record the new Thai Good News script (Pictures 1-22). Our language helper, Paw, translated the script into her language and the translation was checked through back-translation into Thai. Recently, GRNT completed this recording. Once the recording has been edited and processed, distribution and followup of those receiving the recording is needed. GRNT then has plans to prepare and record the rest of the Thai Good News script (Pictures 23-40). This will be followed by more distribution and followup.
Funds currently needed: US $3600
URAK LAWOI: Distribution and Followup of believers on different islands. We need funds for continued distribution of MP3 players and follow-up of those who have heard the Good News. When our GRNT team visits, this provides an opportunity for the Urak Lawoi pastor to visit churches on other islands and is a mutual encouragement both for him and those leaders serving on other islands.
Funds currently needed: US $1950
NYAW: Further research, recording, distribution and follow-up. There are only a few Nyaw Christians. We would like to do additional research, recording, distribution and follow-up in the Nyaw language. An initial brief recording was made, but so far most of the Nyaw people are very closed to the Gospel. The handful of believers need encouragement and help in reaching their group with the Gospel. Pray for wisdom and strong relationships that lead to the development of a script or scripts that would speak to the hearts of the Nyaw. We are considering using Bible stories that have redemptive themes. Pray for God to provide language helpers that have a good testimony in their community, who can speak the language fluently and effectively.
Funds currently needed: US $3150
MGT: Distribution of past recordings, outreach to both Christians and non-Christians. The MGT project needs funds so that teams can continue to go on outreaches to various villages. These outreaches open doors for the Gospel to spread further in smaller communities through the MP3 players and Love Touch and provide encouragement to pastors and other Christian leaders who are serving the Lord in difficult circumstances.
Funds currently needed: US $850
Updating past recordings, follow-up and making additional recordings. Some recordings were made years ago and need to be replaced to meet the current needs of the people. There are many languages in which the recordings need to be evaluated and some in which additional material is needed.
Funds currently needed: US $3400
VIETNAMESE: Distribution and Follow-up. There are a number of Vietnamese Thai living in Northeast Thailand. Most are unreached with the Gospel. We would like to be able to do more outreach ministry with local Thai/Vietnamese Churches and also provide access to resources (MP3 players and Vietnamese and Thai recordings and scripts) that can help the Vietnamese come to know the Lord and grow in their faith. There are also sometimes opportunities with those who come to Thailand for education and training to evaluate recordings and potentially make new recordings for languages that are hard to reach in Vietnam because of the current situation.
Funds Currently Needed: US $1650
