Challenges and Breakthroughs – God is faithful

November 20, 2025 / law / 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 / law / 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

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 / law / 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.
