Transforming Thailand: The Vision, Mission, and Impact of The Association of Free Churches in Thailand

Abstract

Within the spiritual landscape of Thailand, Protestantism, despite being introduced in the nineteenth century, has yet to establish a strong foothold. In contrast to its Southeast Asian neighbors, Thailand's adoption of Christianity has been more limited. However, the Association of Free Churches in Thailand (AFT), an indigenous organization, is leading a spiritual revival. Through AFT efforts, God is revitalizing the spiritual lives of the Thai people and ushering in a new era of faith through the transformative power of the gospel. This article describes the AFT’s efforts and the accompanying, remarkable growth in followers of Jesus that is taking place.
