Thailand: supporting families to stay together

19 June 2025

Mission partners Elise and Jon Fletcher are immersed in the life of a slum community in Bangkok. They share Jesus’ love with people on the margins in a variety of ways, including through a programme of practical support to help families stay together despite poverty, which often tears families apart in Thailand. Pray for true collaboration and openness for Elise and the team as they hone their process of identifying which families will benefit most from the programme.

Elise and Jon also write that it is currently very rainy in Bangkok and ask for prayer for safety for their family and neighbours as they drive through heavy rain and floods.
