One Faith
One Focus
One Country
One Week


This week the country to pray for is Thailand.


Kingdom of Thailand, formerly Siam, is a constitutional monarchy. This Buddhist country has been in the news the past few years because of the political turmoil in the mainly Muslim south and the continued protests between the 'red shirts' and yellow shirts'. The nation faces severe economic problems because the unrest has hurt the tourism industry that accounts for much of the country's income. King Bhumibol Adulyadej is considered divine and has served as monarch since 1946.

Despite the country being open to the Gospel, there has been little impact. The country is 95% Buddhist.
Pray Christianity will begin to influence the people and the Christians serving in Thailand will have favor with the government.
