“Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner. For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself is doing;”
John 5: 19-20
As we see the Father working in South East Asia, God is calling us to step out in Faith as independent missionaries to pursue His vision for the missionary task in North Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos. Throughout our previous term overseas, God has remained faithful to sustain our family, our call, and to clarify our vision for the future in North Thailand.
Today, we are pleased to inform you about Narrow Gate Asia and to share with you about our vision for Church Planting and the integration of Ministry and Business to impact South East Asia for the Kingdom of God. In cooperation with Northern Thailand Impact Ministries (USA), we are now in the process of developing a support team that will be responsible for sending, serving, and sustaining the ministries and operations of both Narrow Gate Asia and Narrow Gate Farm and Dairy in Thailand.
What is Narrow Gate Asia?
Narrow Gate Asia is Community Based:
Jesus said in John 10: 10 “… That I (Jesus) have come that they may have life and have life abundantly.” Jesus came to serve and save us by engaging us in relationships at the community level. By identifying needs in the community we are better positioned to develop relationships that are going to transform that community for God’s glory.
Narrow Gate Community Church - Mae Sai, Thailand.
Bible Training and Discipleship — Bible School and Pastoral Training.
Narrow Gate Language School — for teaching in English and Thai Language.
Community Development and Dairy Farm Technology Transfer.
Sending and Support of Pastors and Church Planters through the Dairy Start-Up program.
Narrow Gate Asia is Farm Based:
Narrow Gate Farm and Dairy is a livestock raising venture located in Mae Sai, Thailand, specializing in the production of high quality milk products that are distributed in limited quantities throughout North Thailand. It is our mission to glorify God by living our lives among His people, and by seeing lives changed when they receive the opportunity to enter through the “Narrow Gate” that leads to life. It is our Goal to establish a farming enterprise that is not only self supporting, but also a model for the agricultural and business community in Thailand that utilizes the people, resources, and relationships of the organization to open doors to the community that will allow for us to demonstrate God’s love for His people.
Narrow Gate Asia is Faith Based:
Narrow Gate Asia serves in North Thailand through a variety of projects and programs to impact the Kingdom of God. It is by Faith that we pursue what we refer to as “Vision 555”, where we are focused on church planting and integration of the other ministries of Narrow Gate Asia. We are continually developing a support team to come along side us spiritually, physically, and financially, as we seek to serve in this region of South East Asia.
“Vision 555” – 5 Community Churches / 555 Cell Groups / 5000 New Believers.
“Vision 555” - $555,000 in Capital for Project Establishment in 2009.
“Vision 555” - 555 Individuals committed to the support of personal and ministry budget.
Narrow Gate Asia is Kingdom Based:
Narrow Gate Asia ministries and businesses are founded and operated upon Kingdom business principles.
Narrow Gate Asia is “Vocational” - We are pursuing God’s call.
Narrow Gate Asia is “Intentional” - We are pursuing God’s Glory
Narrow Gate Asia is “Operational” - We are pursuing God’s Excellence
Narrow Gate Asia is “Relational” - We are pursuing God’s People
“I am the (GATE); if anyone enters through me he will be saved … I have come that they may have LIFE, and have LIFE abundantly … I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down His LIFE for His Sheep.” John 10: 9-11
