Bangkok—May 2020

Posted on Missionary Stories by Anne Gregory · June 01, 2020 2:33 PM

Read:  1 Thessalonians 5:5-11

 

Christian friends and church members here in Thailand keep asking me about the United States in the current COVID-19 pandemic.  They are shocked and concerned that the disease is causing so much heartbreak and tragedy, and they want to know how to pray.

Pray with Thailand, Sunday, May 31, 2020

Posted on Weekly Prayers by Anne Gregory · May 25, 2020 12:00 AM

thailand_anne_gregory_IMG_1380.jpgLectionary Selection:  Acts 2:1-21

Prayers for Thailand:  

Why is it, O God of the Breath, that your Spirit blows where it will, and we never know what is coming next? Thank you for the living power of your Spirit, because when we are filled, we are free to follow and adapt, and even give thanks, when everything seems to be blowing and changing so quickly.

thailand_anne_gregory_IMG_1377.jpgWe pray with thanksgiving for the people of Thailand, who have long had the gift of adapting and thriving in a world of constant change.  Let their redoubled commitment to mutual encouragement and to “a cool heart” be a beacon to the world in this time of trouble. Let their concern for the larger world be a gift of hope, and let that hope be part of your work to draw all the people of the world together to be stewards of life and love and healing—throughout the whole wide earth. We pray through the Risen Christ, Amen.

The impact of COVID-19 lockdowns from partners in Southern Asia

Posted on News by Deenabandhu Manchala · May 05, 2020 2:17 PM

The Southern Asia region, comprising of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Cambodia, East Timor, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Vietnam, is one of the most populous regions in the world. Although many of these countries have reported fewer deaths and confirmed cases, as per some analysts, it is hard to be definite about these claims in view of the limited testing and monitoring capacities. With the indefinite nature of the lockdowns, and with most services and industries shut, and with hardly any economic activity, millions of people who live on daily wages are now exposed to hunger and homelessness. Churches in this region, although small and many, are actively engaged in community awareness and in reaching out to the most marginalized sections with daily supplies.

Update from Thailand

Posted on Missionary Stories by Anne Gregory · April 08, 2020 9:00 AM

This morning as I walked to the elevator, all disguised in my sunglasses and anti-particulate face mask, I exchanged pleasantries with a neighbor who sounded a bit like an Aussie. (We’ve got some diversity in this building, with Filipino, Thai, Korean, European expats, and even a Detroiter.)

Pray with Thailand Sunday, September 8, 2019

Posted on Weekly Prayers by Anne Gregory · September 02, 2019 12:00 AM

Lectionary Selection: Luke 14:25-35

Prayers for Thailand:

Thailand_Anne_Gregory_The_Beloved_Community_-_visiting_a_member_in_the_hospital.jpeg

You ask us, Gracious God, through the words of Jesus, to “count the cost” of the holy journey. Help us to appreciate the freedom that comes from placing our life and our hopes in your hands, God of mercy. Let us, like the Christians in Thailand, be brave enough to appreciate “sacrifice,” and to trust that the Way of Jesus brings new life and beloved community. Then let us be that community for others, through Christ. Amen.

What Is The Cause?

Posted on News by Global Ministries · July 31, 2019 3:45 PM

by Doug Smith

Last weekend, we hosted mission coworker Anne Gregory who was just back in the U.S. from Thailand. Anne grew up there and returned forty years later on a Global Ministries assignment. She told us that the favorite hymn of the Church of Christ Thailand, our UCC and Disciples partner church, is "That Cause Can Neither Be Lost Nor Stayed." As the song leader, she made sure everyone learned it at the Tall Oaks Grandparents and Grandkids Camp this year:

When Cultures Meet

Posted on Missionary Stories by Anne Gregory · April 05, 2019 2:07 PM

Sometimes mission co-c workers get a bad rap. Even back in the 1970s, many Christian groups decided to find a name other than “missionary,” to use for those who feel the call to do the work of the Good News in another culture.
