One of the ways they serve the community is through teaching English as another language. During their time as teachers in the local school, Glenn and Liz are often asked by their local friends to tutor their children in English. English proficiency is seen as very advantageous for future employability in Thailand.
In early 2022, Glenn and Liz launched the ministry Baan Sawang – House of Light, English Language Centre (ELC), including a highly subsidised English program for students aged 5-15 years old. It also provides a safe space for these children to play and be encouraged.
While teaching English is the main purpose of the ministry, Glenn and Liz are excited to use this platform to build deeper relationships with the families in their area. Sharing their lives with their local friends is key part of their work in Thailand. It is through these connections that they share the greatest gift of all; God’s love shown through Jesus. They are excited to see an emergence of vibrant faith communities following Jesus in their own distinctive ways in Northern Thailand.
Through their day-to-day life, Jean-Claude and Joyce are engaging with people wholistically, responding to their spiritual and physical needs.
Jean-Claude and Joyce share a passionate love for God and people and desire to see the Yawo follow Jesus within their cultural context. They are building relationships with their Yawo neighbours and investing in their culture and language learning with a local language nurturer so they can effectively communicate with their Yawo friends.
They are grateful for the prayers and financial support they receive as they actively seek to build meaningful relationships amongst the Yawo and see communities transformed as they follow Jesus in ways that make sense to them.
