The ministry of Love in Action was formed as we heard the call to start a work
in Thailand, amongst the Buddhist people. Just six months into our work there, the
December 2004 tsunami brought devastation to South East Asia. Our desire was to bring
hope and aid to Thailand’s coastal villages in the wake of the disaster. Our team was
on the scene just days after the wave hit.
Our goal was not only to bring them aid and then return to business as usual,
but to stay, living among the people in order to share the love and the good news
of Christ Jesus. The tsunami opened an unprecedented door for the gospel, and through
the devastation, God birthed a new work -- Calvary Chapel Ban Nam Khem!
Our service in Thailand has brought into focus the need on several fronts -- first
for the lost of Thailand, and also for the needs of Thailand’s neighboring country, Burma.
The hope and livelihood of the Burmese and its ethnic minority have been crushed by a brutal
military regime for nearly 60 years. Thailand has absorbed hundreds of thousands of Burma’s
refugees, and most of those refugees are comprised of Burma’s largest ethnic minority, the
Karen. Love in Action has heard this call, too; and we are committed to help in whatever way we can.
In this site we hope to introduce you to Love in Action Asia’s ministries, the faithful workers
and the precious souls that we live among. Since the humble beginning until now, God has risen up
ministries in Northern and Southern Thailand, the Thai/Burma border and we are busy with on-going
mission efforts deep inside Eastern Burma also known as Kawthoolei.
Our purpose is found in Proverbs 31:8, “Open your mouth for the speechless, in the cause of
all who are appointed to die. Open your mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.”
Help us bring them the hope that is eternal. Contact us today!
