Everyone in the Thailand Mission fills many different roles.  As a Kingdom Worker, some of my jobs are to teach English to the Bible Institute students, to help run the handicraft program and weekly craft times, to teach English outreach classes a few days a week, and to be a support to the mission with other general needs.  I also live with the girls who are studying at the Bible Institute. Overall, I see the purpose of my job being to encourage the national Christians who are studying here who will go on to be Christian leaders in their communities.

As I was looking into what to do after graduation, I kept seeing WELS World Mission updates on my church bulletin board. I was interested in doing something where I could actually live with national people in a different culture, see the church from a global perspective, and be in a place where I could encourage Christians and non-Christians.   Many Kingdom Worker positions are geared toward teaching English, but the Thailand role has a variety of other responsibilities which have been a good fit for me.
