Would You Consider Helping Us -- Here's Why
(1) Through Language Learning, it will allow us to communicate naturally, fostering deeper relationships and trust within the community, without the limitations of translation.
(2) More Evangelistic Opportunities,
speaking Thai will open doors for spontaneous conversations and gospel-sharing moments.>
(3) Strengthening Long-term Ministry,
investing in the local language equips us to serve more effectively and sustainably, showing our commitment to building a lasting ministry in Thailand.
Daysi and I are serving as missionaries in Thailand, which lies within the “10/40 Window” a region stretching from North Africa to Asia, home to the largest population of people who have never heard the gospel. This area is marked by cultural, political, and religious barriers to Christianity, making it one of the most spiritually underserved parts of the world. Here in Thailand, sharing the love of Jesus requires patience and trust, as most people are unfamiliar with the message of Christ, and evangelism is met with hesitation.
Well, it’s been over a year here in Thailand, and if you don’t know us yet, we are Mike and Daysi Mady, a Canadian couple, commissioned to serve in Thailand, by New Song Church in Windsor, Ontario. Our home church is under the umbrella of the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada. (PAOC) This is actually our second time here—our first was about 14 years ago. Just like the first time, God has been amazing. We’ve seen incredible things happening in and through us, in our team, and through our ministry here at Goshen Café, which is part of the House of Grace Ministry here in Thailand. We continue to witness transformed lives and hearts, which is nothing short of a miracle, and we thank God for that.
We’re grateful for the opportunity to be here and to do what God called us to do. We are here because of our desire to follow that calling and also because for our supporters, who continue to commit to give financially and for those who pray for us on a regular basis. Daysi and I are very thankful, and we know there’s much more to do. We feel strongly that God has called us to serve here long-term.
Looking ahead to 2025, our focus will be on
Thai language learning. This is a crucial next step for our ministry here.Since we believe God has called us to stay here long-term. Our plan is to start learning Thai in Bangkok, which is about 600 kilometers from where we currently live. This means we’ll need to live in Bangkok for six to nine months, with a target start date of January or February 2025. Our goal is to speak, read, and write Thai fluently, so that we can continue serving effectively.
Recently in Bangkok, we’ve already made connections with a few other ministries and are considering working with more, but we’ll provide updates on that as things progress. Our time in Bangkok will be a mix of studying and ministry. As Daysi says, language learning is ministry / which is awesome!
That’s it for our update for now. We’ll be posting more updates here on our website, so if you want to stay informed about what’s happening with us in Thailand, keep checking back. Thank you for your continued support and prayers!
In His Love
Mike & Daysi Mady

Our House Church - Book Of Acts
With deep gratitude, we cherish the opportunity to come together, bond, uplift, commune, and dine with the wonderful members of our cell group in the village of Ban Khung Khey. Our purpose in visiting was to bolster the spirits of both leaders and members, assuring them that their unwavering commitment to spreading the Gospel holds immense value.
The path they tread is unquestionably tough, and the challenges they face can feel insurmountable at times. Often, leaders and members find themselves battling isolation and grappling with thoughts of surrender. Yet, it's vital to recognize that these struggles aren't due to a scarcity of prayers or effort. The task of sharing the message of Jesus in this nation of Thailand often feels distant from the tangible fruits of labor.
Our overarching goal remains to magnify the glory of Christ and guide people towards the light of Jesus. Throughout this journey, we encounter a spectrum of reactions – attentive listeners, those fueled by anger, individuals who harbor destructive intentions, and those who embrace salvation. Let's always bear in mind that even in the absence of immediate outcomes, we're sowing seeds of love, faith, and a tight-knit community.
As we press forward, let the radiance of your faith continue to shine brightly.
TO YOU - LEADERS & CHURCH MEMBERS
"Thank you for remaining faithful to your calling"
