Global Praise and Academy

The youngest to host the rest

As far as United Methodist Church in South East Asia,
Thailand would consider to be the Youngest of all. Yet this past January we
have the opportunity to host our brothers and sisters from Laos for the Praise
and Worship Training and later, from Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam for the
Academy.

                A group of Pastors and Lay from Laos and Thailand gathered in Chiang Mai for the Global
Praise and Worship training. They spent two weeks to learn how teach Sunday school, Music and preaching. This is a first time ever that an international training like this has ever been introduced our New United Methodists in these two countries.  They have learned from the basic like leading the congregation to sing to officiating the Sacrament of Baptism and Communion.
                After the Global Praise there were six pastors for each of the Indochinese countries
Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and Thailand gather for the Academy where they were
also train in church growth and strategies to reach their people for Christ.
