For 30 years, Concordia Day Care Center has provided a haven for the children of the BangNa Slum on the edge of Bangkok. Every day, 45 children as young as two years old come to this bright and engaging preschool. They learn Thai and English letters and numbers with regular Bible lessons and prayers. In the afternoon 15-20 school age children come to the center to use the computers to do their homework.
In 2010, a fire destroyed ten dwellings in the slum, putting its 1780 inhabitants in danger. The homes built of scrap wood and tin burned quickly. Miraculously, no one was killed or severely injured. Gifts of clothing, household goods, and building materials from Christians distributed through the Day Care Center showed this Buddhist community that God deeply loves them. When CCCS staff visited the site just a few months later, homes were already being rebuilt.
Prayer Request: Pray the people will open their hearts to hear and believe the Gospel. Pray God will strengthen the bond with Into Light Lutheran Church which helps provide Christian outreach events for the older children.
