Derwood Alliance Church

The Thailand mission team, led by Natalie, the missions pastor, shared powerful testimonies from their recent trip. They partnered with Envision, a Christian Missionary Alliance organization, focusing on relational ministry with university students and outreach in red light districts. Team members described spiritual battles they faced. But despite the darkness, they saw God at work, even in unexpected ways. The team emphasized several key lessons:1. The importance of intentional prayer and outreach2. God's presence even in spiritually dark places3. The value of building relationships and showing genuine care4. The need for wisdom in making choices, as illustrated by ProverbsNatalie encouraged the church to participate in missions through four main avenues: praying, giving, going on trips, and sending others. She reminded the congregation that while Thailand has its unique spiritual challenges, there are also strongholds to address in their own communities. Jesus is for our neighborhoods & the nation
