Home of Grace is a safe refuge in Thailand for mothers-to-be and new mothers who have been rejected by their family or are in difficult situations and need shelter.

From shadows into Jesus’ glorious light

By Rev Matt Anker | 0 comment | Categories: Thailand

In a village where more than 95 per cent of people are baptised and actively involved in the life of the church, it would be easy for the local congregation to lose a sense of urgency about mission. But not so for the Lua people of Banden in Thailand’s Nan province. Knowing what it’s like […]

Youth keep spirit of Reformation alive

By Elsa Matthias | 0 comment | Categories: Congregations, Schools, Thailand

It is well known that the reformation started in 1517 by Martin Luther, but how did it end? Or has it? I am 22 years old, I work as a physiotherapist and am a member of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church Horsham in Victoria. For the past three years, I have been representing the youth of […]

Hoom came to ‘Home of Grace’ directly from a construction site. She was already in the seventh month of her pregnancy. The child’s father had gone his own way before Hoom even knew she was pregnant.

In the cool morning air in northern Thailand, a young woman looks around at green rice fields across a flowing stream, all still partly in the shadow of the forested mountains.

By David Craig | 0 comment | Categories: Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Thailand, Volunteers and Supporters

During our retirement, my wife Ruth and I have been blessed with good health and able to volunteer in a number of countries.

Easter message changes lives

By Pastor Harison 'Tovo' Ratovohery | 0 comment | Categories: Thailand

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Thailand is still a relatively new church, which is also true of the growing congregations in Nan Province.
