A short 1912 booklet about Presbyterian work in Siam. Chapters include, 1) The Coronation of a King, 2) A Governor’s Palace, 3) The Influence of Noble Lives, 4) A Year of Great Ingathering in the Laos Mission.
The main purpose of this pamphlet is to supplement the book prepared by Rev. John H. Freeman on "An Oriental Land of the Free" which appeared in 1910. That book treated of the northern half of Siam, the country of the Laos. The southern half of Siam is covered herein. Besides a general sketch of the country, the progress of Mission work since 1910 and the present situation and prospects for the near future have been briefly set forth. The needs and the opportunities, as well as the difficulties and the successes of this mission field, are fascinating. [published in 1916]
One of the major tasks facing the Church of Jesus Christ today is to effectively plant self-propagating churches in the rural areas of the world, especially across the heavily populated plains of Asia. The objective of this study is to describe the actual rural situation as regards evangelization in Central Thailand, and to design a workable strategy to multiply churches there.
The purpose of this research is to present missiological insights from a study of the deep level meaning and communication effects of STR as practiced by Isaan followers of Jesus in northeast Thailand. These insights are derived from a descriptive analysis of Isaan worldview themes viewed from the historic perspective, the biblical and theological perspectives, and observation, interview, and survey data.
