December 2018 Update from the Martin's in Thailand
March 2019

Dear Norm
You may have read the April 2019 cover story in Christianity Today regarding the Free in Jesus Christ Church Association (FJCCA) church planting movement in Thailand. If not, please click on the picture above to read it. I am sure you will find it very encouraging.  I want to share additional facts not in the article:

Over the past 26 months the FJCCA has started 412 house churches and 12,052 new believers. But more important is 25% of these new believers have been baptized – true disciples of Jesus.

Baptism of 520 believers on Jan. 27, 2019. Largest baptism ever of Thai people

The FJCCA’s vision is to have 10,000 baptized believers and 1,000 house church planters/leaders by 2020. To reach this goal, this month, we are training 500 people who can train 500 more to reach the goal of 1,000 church planters.

Please consider being a “CO-MISSIONARY” with the FJCCA. “Gas money” is needed to keep the FJCCA “gospel train” moving. Gas money consists of purchasing discipleship materials, Bibles for baptized believers, money to train church planters and literally gas to go and share the gospel in villages that have never heard of Jesus. 

To put this in perspective, it costs the FJCCA $600 to establish a church. It costs a traditional missionary over 1,000 times more to plant a similar church. Your partnership as a co-missionary is a vital part to the success of this movement.

If the Lord provides, over the next 12 months we desire to plant more than 600 churches in unreached villages and anticipate leading 20,000 to Christ of which 5,000 will be baptized.

We need $360,000 from CO-MISSIONARIES to accomplish this task. There is no better eternal investment you can make than helping secure the salvation of thousands of people.

PLEASE BE PART OF THIS MOVEMENT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THAILAND!

 

Blessings in Jesus,

Dwight & Mary Kay Martin
