A New Place – A New Chapter in Northern Thailand

February 19, 2026 / / 0 Comments

A newsletter from Good News for the Shan ministry in Northern Thailand.

Sometimes you can sense that one season is ending and a new one is beginning. Over the past few months, we have been right in the middle of such a transition. There have been days of prayer, decisions, concerns, and great joy. At the same time, we have seen God open doors that we could not open ourselves.

The last three months have been intense, challenging, and full of gratitude. We have seen seven people come to faith and be baptized, we have a new ministry location/land, experienced answered prayers, and walked through some demanding processes along the way. Here is a combined update.


We hope you will take the time to read—and be inspired by what God is doing here in Northern Thailand.

Challenges and Breakthroughs – God is faithful

November 20, 2025 / / 0 Comments

A newsletter from Good News for the Shan ministry in Northern Thailand.

As I write this, the cold season has begun to settle over Northern Thailand. It surprises many, but at this time of year the temperature can actually drop below 10 degrees in the early morning. Our children wrap themselves in blankets, and we can feel that winter has arrived. Even though it is short, it changes the atmosphere: the air becomes clearer, the days a bit calmer – even as we prepare for one of the busiest months of the year in the ministry.

Perhaps it is in this contrast between chilly mornings and warm afternoons that we recognize this past year: filled with both challenges and breakthroughs, waiting and answered prayers – and a strong sense of God’s faithfulness through it all.

Since our last newsletter, we have traveled a lot, prayed a lot, waited a lot – and experienced a lot. Two trips out of Thailand, people receiving Jesus, families we are following up who have faced difficult challenges, and new opportunities that have opened up.

Through all of this, we have seen the same truth: God goes before us.

With that, I would like to share a little update from these past months – about visas, ministry, and what lies ahead of us in December.

We write more about us personally in our personal newsletter. If you want to receive it, you can subscribe here.

Changed Lives and Growing Faith in Northern Thailand

September 4, 2025 / / 0 Comments

A Newsletter from Good News for the Shan Ministry in Northern Thailand.

We are in the middle of the rainy season here in Northern Thailand. Some days are both wet and gray, but the rain also brings something good – the temperature drops a little, and nature becomes greener and fresher. This is also how we experience our ministry: even though we face challenges, we also see how God allows new life to spring forth.

In this newsletter, we want to share some powerful testimonies, baptisms of both young and old, and how discipleship training creates ripple effects far beyond what we ourselves teach. We will also give you a little glimpse into some of the practical challenges we are facing, and ask for your continued prayer support.
 

We hope you will take the time to read – and be inspired by what God is doing here in Northern Thailand.

Back To Where It All Began

May 2, 2025 / / 0 Comments

A newsletter from Good News for the Shan People – our ministry in Northern Thailand.

Here comes a spring newsletter from us, and in this edition, we’re sharing a bit more personally.

We’ve now been in Norway for over six weeks and have a little more than two weeks left. Time has flown by! We’d like to share a bit about what we’ve experienced – especially one highlight. In addition, I want to include some stories from just a few days before we left for Norway.

But first, I want to share something that means a lot to me: May 1st holds a special significance in my life (see the text below the video).

How the Gospel is Transforming Lives in Northern Thailand

In the heart of Northern Thailand, among refugees and migrant workers from Myanmar, a story of hope and transformation is unfolding.

In the midst of a brutal civil war, many have left everything behind in search of safety — only to face new challenges: long workdays, poor living conditions, and a daily struggle against hopelessness.

But in this darkness, the Gospel shines.

Baptism, Funeral, and Our Upcoming Visit to Norway

February 14, 2025 / / 0 Comments

A newsletter from the ministry Good News for the Shan in Northern Thailand.

We are now well into the new year, and I see that it has actually been over three months since the last newsletter. Time has flown, and a lot has happened in the meantime, so much that the newsletter would be very long if I were to include everything.

Nevertheless, there are some highlights we would like to share. To begin with, I would like to tell you about this year’s first baptism, which took place last Sunday. In addition, a small update from December, when we organized seven Christmas parties and handled a funeral.

To Be a Light in the Darkness

November 24, 2024 / / 0 Comments

A newsletter from the ministry Good News for the Shan in Northern Thailand.

We hope you’ve had a wonderful autumn! Here in Northern Thailand, we’ve experienced both rainy days and now delightfully cooler temperatures – weather-wise, this is the best time of the year for us, lasting until March.

As we look at the world around us, there’s much darkness, especially in the neighboring country. Yet, we continually see how God uses us to let His light shine through, bringing hope to people in the midst of darkness. The past three months have been eventful, filled with both challenges and uplifting moments. We are excited to share some of the stories that illustrate how the Gospel is transforming lives.

One of our greatest joys has been the many baptisms we’ve had in recent months – in August, September, and October. And even more baptisms are planned for this month! It’s incredibly encouraging to witness people taking this significant step of faith and surrender to God.

Christmas is also fast approaching, and we are preparing for a very special celebration this year. We look forward to sharing more about this.

Read on in this newsletter for more details about what’s been happening and what’s on our hearts for the future

A newsletter from the mission project Good News for the Shan people, serving in Northern Thailand.

We hope you’ve had a wonderful summer holiday wherever you’ve been vacationing! Here in Thailand, we’re in the middle of the wettest part of the rainy season, and it can really pour down at times.

Since the last newsletter, a lot of exciting things have happened, and I have several stories to share. I’ve selected a few that stand out, like the story of a woman who was healed and then persecuted for her faith, and the experiences of a bush missionary, among others.

June 6, 2024 / / 0 Comments

A Newsletter from Good News For The Shan Ministry, working among people groups from Myanmar.

Here is the latest news from hot and humid Thailand. After an extremely hot Thai summer, with temperatures reaching up to 43 degrees from March to May, we have finally received some rain. Although the temperatures drop somewhat when it rains, it still feels very warm due to the high humidity.

Over the past three months, a lot has happened in our ministry, including several new Christians, growth in the congregation, and a trip to Norway.
Read on for more about these exciting news.

We post more stories, updates and photos on our Facebook Page, so feel free to like it!

Towards the end of the newsletter, we will also mention a couple of important things about financial support, such as: You are involved, or can be involved, in what God is doing out here in South East Asia, even if it is only by small amounts or in prayer!
