Relational breakdown within the family is all too common these days, but God is a God of reconciliation. (Mark 10:8-9, Heb 12:14)

At the heart of family development is seeing families love Jesus with all their heart, soul, mind and strength. (Mark 12:30)

The masterpiece that reveals more about God than anything else shows up when God made something called “family” (Genesis 1:27-28).

#Thailand is experiencing a second wave of the #Coronavirus, with infection rates significantly higher than the first wave. Friends of the City is watching and listening and ready to respond to the needs of our neighbors.

#Tourism in #Thailand is beginning to look up. Thailand is probably the safest place in the world to be right now. Be prepared for a 14 day quarantine in a nice hotel and you can stay up to 90 days. Not bad if you have the money and can work from home.

Many families we work with come from rural areas or are migrant workers who have come to #Bangkok to give their children a better eduction. We are honored to be part of the solution by providing quality after-school programs for kids.

The Thai government shows no signs of opening up the country to #internationaltravel until a #Covid19 #vaccine is available in #Thailand. Until then, we live with very few restrictions on normal activity, but with a significantly depressed #economy.

The 1% super-rich already controls more than two-thirds of national wealth. Already the most unequal society in the world, #inequality just got worse in #Thailand.

Delicious, creative, educational fun! Baking & decorating #cupcakes allowed children to get creative, follow a recipe, observe a small community-based business, and practice some basic English. Thanks P’ Mai and NewsongBKK volunteers for chaotic fun.

Most consider Thai culture to be a secondary oral culture. The Friends of the City story project is an oral method of making disciples that is accessible to every Thai speaker regardless of education or social status.

Pursuing reconciliation with one another across existing divisions like class, race and gender is an essential aspect of reconciliation with God. (From #ServantPartners: An Introduction)
