Thailand

Exotic vacation paradise, permanent Asian smile, relative prosperity - Thailand's greatest asset is tourism. The emerging country has been able to significantly reduce poverty in recent decades. And yet, not everything is as beautiful as it seems at first glance. Poverty, especially in rural areas in the north and south, and sex tourism with all its ugly consequences have become a major problem.

HOW IT ALL BEGAN

Our project manager in Thailand is bursting with ideas, initiatives and joie de vivre. But it wasn't always like this. His eventful life story led him through the drug milieu in Germany, through being homeless in Sweden to a fateful encounter with a Chinese man who told him about Jesus. Today, Ralf does everything he can to enable others to benefit from the help and change he has experienced.

KAREN MINISTRY
Eastern Myanmar is home to the Karen people. Since the war and the resulting refugee movements, the large refugee camps and residential schools in Thailand have become a new home for thousands of Karen youths and children. ACP has been investing in the mainly young Karen diaspora in western Thailand for years through leisure activities, training courses and Bibles.
ACTION INSTEAD OF FRONTAL TEACHING
Since the end of 2022, ACP has been working with other Royal Ranger organizations to set up Royal Ranger Thailand. The youth camp gives many young people from ethnic minorities and refugees from Myanmar structure, hope and a view of Jesus. Royal Ranger tribes (local groups) have already been established and the training of leaders is underway.
