Healing Together in Thailand

“He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted” (Luke 4:18)

In Thailand, ministry partners are responding to ongoing challenges faced by ethnic minorities, migrant workers, and those who have experienced displacement. Many carry the weight of conflict, economic instability, and separation from their homelands. The work of rebuilding lives continues quietly through relationships rooted in trust and shared faith.

Often drawing from their own experiences of hardship, local leaders provide counseling, vocational training, and opportunities for connection. In these settings, restoring dignity is not about what one group “gives” another; it’s about nurturing the gifts and strengths already present in the community.

One ministry center has become a place where women can learn new skills, children can access education, and survivors of trauma can be heard without judgment. Healing is as much about laughter shared over a meal as it is about practical resources. For many, these steady rhythms of presence are what make hope feel possible again.

For these leaders and their partners, the vision of binding up the brokenhearted in Luke 4 takes shape in ordinary acts of care—neighbors listening to one another’s stories, churches standing alongside families through seasons of uncertainty, and communities celebrating small steps toward wholeness. It is God’s mission, already unfolding, that draws people together to keep walking forward.
