In July 2000, Art and Pat Chutong began Free Methodist missions work in the city of Rayong, Thailand. Three hours south of Bangkok, Rayong is an industrial port city of 150,000, it has six protestant churches. The largest church is forty years old and has 50 members.
The missions work in Thailand was started in cooperation with the Pacific Northwest Conference of the Free Methodist Church of North America.
Art has ministered to local Thai through giving English classes. We have had the opportunity
to minister through English classes, sharing in the Bangkok Church and working on research of potential Livelihood Projects. Art and Pat have shared that one of the greatest needs is the support of the local churches.
Pat and Art are dedicated to planting churches. Their heart's desire is to be able to support national church planters so that the Good News of Jesus is shared in their homeland. The sales of the beautiful handicrafts provide funds to support church planters. Please join us as we work to help build the Kingdom of God through Art and Pat!
