What is the YWAM Chiang Rai Base?
The YWAM Chiang Rai Base is a multi-cultural community committed to grow in our love for Jesus and to make Him known in Thailand, South East Asia and beyond.
What does the YWAM Chiang Rai Base do?
As a multi-cultural community we find our unity in Christ and in the universality of His commands to those who choose to follow Him. Christ commissioned His followers to fulfill the following tasks:
- Preach the gospel to every person (Mark 16:15)
- Make disciples of every nation, baptizing them and teaching them to obey all that He commanded. (Matthew 28:18-20)
How does the YWAM Chiang Rai Base do those two things?
Evangelism
- We have committed ourselves to preach the gospel consistently in the province of Chiang Rai, Thailand. This is where we spend most of our time and so we value being a witness in this place.
- We are committed to sending both staff and students out regularly to be witnesses of Jesus in the nation of Thailand and the surrounding nations.
- We offer the DTS (Discipleship Training School) which serves…
- To GATHER and CHALLENGE people to worship, listen to and obey God, releasing them (in the context of the DTS) to serve through evangelism, intercession, acts of compassion and other expressions of God's heart for the world, possibly even pioneering new ministries.
- To INSPIRE and CULTIVATE growth in one's relationship with God resulting in Christ like character, which is based on a solid Biblical foundation, the work of the Holy Spirit and the personal application of Biblical truth, especially concerning God's Character, the Cross and empowering Grace.
- To SHARPEN one's ability to relate to, learn from and work with people, including those of different cultures, personalities and perspectives.
- To further EQUIP each one to serve God's purposes either in or outside of YWAM Family of Ministries, strengthening a commitment to reach the lost, especially the unreached, to care for the poor, and to influence all areas of society.
- To IMPART the vision and foundational values of Youth With A Mission International as well as that of the host operating location and to provide information regarding a variety of opportunities for service.
- We offer the SBS (School of Biblical Studies) which is a school that…
- STUDIES each and every book of THE BIBLE inductively.
- OBSERVES the biblical text in context
- INTERPRETS the biblical text in a way that discovers what it meant when it was written
- APPLIES the Bible to the student’s personal life.
- Allows the student to DISCOVER THE TRUTH on their own.
- GIVES the student TOOLS to be able to study the Bible in a variety of ways.
