class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3>Thailand and Southeast Asia<\/h3>\n<p>Known as the \u201eLand of Smiles\u201c Thailand is located in the heart of Southeast Asia, a subcontinent with a lot of history and culture. Different religions, customs and peoples left their imprint in this region and various influences were united in the former kingdom of Siam. Until now you find a writing that emerged form the Indian Sanskrit, Chinese elements in food-culture and a most common spirituality that combines Buddhism and Animism (worshipping spirits and ghosts). Because of the constitutional monarchy the royal families highly respected in Thailand and finally it was the fifths king of the current dynasty, who in the end of 19th century initiated various reforms to open the nation to the Western world. This gave Thailand a huge advantage compared to its neighbours in matters of infrastructure, economy and education.<\/p>\n<p>But a opening towards Christian faith didn\u2019t really take place widely. Since more than 200 years there are missionaries in the country and there is a church, but the percentage of christians among the almost 70 million Thais is below 1%. Together with its different people groups this makes Thailand one of the biggest harvest fields for the Gospel of the unreached people groups in Asia.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Who we are<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We really got to know each other in 2015 in the FCJG (Free Christian Youth Fellowship) in L\u00fcdenscheid\/Germany. This is where Simon grew up and in his early years he heard the reports and testimonies of missionaries. \u201eAt the age of eleven my dad took me to a short-term-outreach to Mongolia &#8211; what an adventure to hand our emergency relief goods and to share about the power and love of the Gospel of Jesus in a foreign culture. Later on I continued going for several short-term outreaches to Asia.\u201c This was followed by finishing school, doing civil-service and graduating from university with a Bachelors degree first, and while working in child-protective-services, also with a masters degree in Social Works.<\/p>\n<p>Karin grew up in the YWCA Germany &#8211; while living four years in Lima\/Peru with her parents &#8211; and became a clerk and youth-educator in Stuttgart. 2008 she moved to L\u00fcdenscheid to do an apprenticeship in the drug-rehab centre \u201eHaus Wiedenhof\u201c for one year. When this one year was stretched to seven years Karin refocussed on children in need and became a certified trauma counsellor while working again with heavily traumatised children.<\/p>\n<p>In the time when Simon was employed God spoke very clearly about several nations in Southeast-Asia, but his first thought was that he could go there for an outreach, like he had done it before. God shared His different perspective on that matter and Simon quit his job to enrol for a missions-training-school to get prepared to being send abroad.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-4a1xyd-daaea9cb83c0b885cfd12f4023352a1d\">\n.flex_column.av-4a1xyd-daaea9cb83c0b885cfd12f4023352a1d{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-4a1xyd-daaea9cb83c0b885cfd12f4023352a1d av_two_third  avia-builder-el-19  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_third  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-kbs4k7tq-ea8ef56fcef569e1468502c8b024e23b '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Since ending of 2017 Simon is in the staff-team of HELP International Thailand ministries and also Karin followed in 2019 for an internship and language-studies to Bangkok. Since end of 2020 we are happily married! In Beginning of 2021 we startet working in a christian drug-rehab center in Luedenscheid to gain experience in the field of helping drug-addicts as preparation to return to Thailand.<\/p>\n<p>Since 1995 there is a drug-rehabilitation center of HELP International in Bangkok. This ministry also works with families and children in nearby slums and hosts events and outreaches for Thai christians to neighbouring countries.<\/p>\n<p>But our hearts are beating for a whole new branch of the ministry:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-4ifb7d-3dc88a1b207feb55a95b542223060114\">\n.flex_column.av-4ifb7d-3dc88a1b207feb55a95b542223060114{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-4ifb7d-3dc88a1b207feb55a95b542223060114 av_one_third  avia-builder-el-21  el_after_av_two_third  el_before_av_two_third  flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kcqammry-e196d7c00e25527569d0f143ab85584e\">\n.avia-image-container.av-kcqammry-e196d7c00e25527569d0f143ab85584e img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-kcqammry-e196d7c00e25527569d0f143ab85584e .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-kcqammry-e196d7c00e25527569d0f143ab85584e av-styling- avia_animated_image av-animated-when-visible-95 fade-in avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-22  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image- avia-img-lazy-loading-not- avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/www.globemission.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Scho\u0308ttler_1.jpg\" alt='' title=''   itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-4a1xyd-daaea9cb83c0b885cfd12f4023352a1d\">\n.flex_column.av-4a1xyd-daaea9cb83c0b885cfd12f4023352a1d{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-4a1xyd-daaea9cb83c0b885cfd12f4023352a1d av_two_third  avia-builder-el-23  el_after_av_one_third  el_before_av_one_third  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-kbs4k7tq-ea8ef56fcef569e1468502c8b024e23b '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3>Vision for Pattaya<\/h3>\n<p>\u201e<em>Gods salvation is near to those who fear Him, that Glory might dwell in our land.<\/em>\u201c &#8211;

With Worship and prayer we are preparing the spiritual ground of Pattaya alongside with other missionaries and churches.<br \/>\nBut it is in this very environment of sin, hopelessness and death (the numbers of fatal traffic-accidents or suicide are disproportionate high) we train the missions-students to fix their eyes on Jesus and to be a light to that city.<br \/>\nIn the Revival School on the Move we will prepare Thai and international students to take their place in Gods harvest fields. We are already building relationships into the neighbouring countries and I\u2019m excited to sent out the first students coming from Thailand, Myanmar, Laos or Cambodia into the nations!<br \/>\nWhat powerful display of Gods\u2019 power when from the city known for sex-tourism and excess comes forth a launching-pad for missionaries.
