Cross-cultural pastoral experience is an asset, with flexibility and adaptability essential. Supported by a Thai-led international team with full onboarding, opportunities range from 3 months to long-term service.
Purpose
Imagine Thailand exists to build strong communities, with and through local communities and people. We believe in the capacity of youth, university students and skilled professionals to create a new future for communities in need. We do this through leadership development in the university and marketplace, through education and teacher training, through community development initiatives and through building bridges between the local church and local community. Church planting work is being done through international and local believers in the various locations where Imagine Thailand is engaged; making disciples, working with local pastors, as well as small group discipleship.
