The Harvest Church Database is a powerful online tool designed to map and understand the status of Christianity in Thailand and other nations. It serves as a comprehensive directory of churches within a nation, visually documenting their locations on an interactive map. This system provides a clear picture of the Christian presence and helps researchers, organizations, and ministries analyze the Church's landscape.

By offering insights into the distribution of Christians, the database plays a crucial role in shaping mission strategies. For example, the AFT's "Going Wide" initiative used its data to identify villages with limited Christian presence, driving outreach efforts to where they were needed most.
