This update concerns GCI’s Rayong Bible Ministries (RABIM), operating in Thailand. Its leaders and members are mostly GCI Philippine missionaries.
RABIM recently held a fifth anniversary celebration with the theme “His indescribable gifts.” It was attended by about 150 Thai and Filipino friends. Dancers and other performers added to the festive spirit.
Other recent RABIM outreach events included joining with the Powermen group in the annual Students’ Day at a remote area on the border of Laos and Thailand. Various events were held with the sponsoring school being given various supplies and cash to fund school projects. RABIM missionaries also participated in a year-end party at a juvenile reformatory where the young offenders showed what they had learned and were encouraged to develop skills while still detained. Four RABIM teachers, led by Pastor Joel Alisbo, also recently started a “Happy Class,” which meets every Saturday at an orphanage in Huayphong. The volunteers are excited to help motivate the Thai orphans—please remember the teachers and orphans in your prayers.
