This team visit to Chiang Mai is focused on supporting and encouraging Jacqui Croxon - our Catalyst long-term mission partner - and her work through Shalom House, and the wider SIM Thailand mission community. The team will engage in local ministry through school visits, Bible studies, and language support, while also running a Bible program for children and youth at the SIM Spiritual Life Conference.
Together, these activities provide practical help on the ground, create space for missionaries to be refreshed, and give the team a meaningful, first-hand experience of God at work in a different cultural context.
The team heading to Chiang Mai is made up of Marcella, Deanna, Keren, Tilly, Bek, Daniel, Ellyse, Josiah, Zoe, and Karen. Each person brings a unique set of gifts, experiences, and a shared heart to serve, encourage, and grow through this opportunity.
While the team is on the ground, Belinda will play an important role supporting from home base, helping ensure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes. Together, this team reflects a strong sense of unity and purpose as they step into this mission experience.
