Association of Free Churches in Thailand
Support During Phase 1, we focused on learning, practicing, revising, and perfecting the AFT method of Evangelism, Discipleship, and Church Planting. Through these years of experience, we developed an effective approach for spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ that allows us to reach the rest of nation.
Goal: Form village churches in every village and establish district churches in every district across the eight provinces of Phichit, Phetchabun, Nakhon Sawan, Khon Kaen, Chaiyaphum, Phitsanulok, Lopburi and Kampaeng Phet.

Imagine every corner of Thailand illuminated by the hope of Jesus. This isn't just a dream; it's an actionable plan to see a nation transformed. Our strategy is to find "people of peace," make them disciples, and empower them to start churches in their own homes. These local communities then raise up their own leaders, creating hubs of faith that multiply across the country.
The power of this model lies in its sustainability. By focusing on raising up indigenous Thai leaders from the very beginning, we ensure the movement is not dependent on outside influence. It creates a self-replicating momentum, where Thai believers are the ones reaching their own people and planting the next generation of churches. This is how strategic action leads to exponential, lasting impact.
This is the blueprint for turning possibility into reality. It requires dedicated partners and passionate Thai church planters. Join us in this remarkable journey of faith and strategy.
