Thailand: Keeping Families Together

27 February 2025

“Pray for us as we navigate partnership with a local Thai church in running our Keeping Families Together programme,” write Elise and Jon Fletcher, mission partners supporting vulnerable families in Khlong Toei, a Bangkok slum. Pray for grace for Elise and Jon as they navigate cultural differences and model a “no strings attached” service for vulnerable families. Pray for mutual growth and understanding of our slum context and that families in the programme may come to know the all-loving God through the way Elise and Jon and the local church love and accept them. Please also pray for Elise and Jon’s eldest son, Elliot, as he studies in the UK. While he is thriving, there are of course moments when it is hard for him and the rest of the family to be so far apart. Please pray for Elliot as he struggles with his current workload and juggles many commitments, including travel to Thailand. Please pray for peace, health, belonging and freedom from striving.
