Missions Update - Ben and Bekah Baker

Missions is a big part of who we are as a church. We love to support missionaries who have answered a call to go out and make disciples full-time.

One of the Missionary couples we support at The Street is Ben and Bekah Baker who are currently serving in Bangkok, Thailand with CRU, which is a sister organisation to Student Life here in New Zealand. Here is an update from Ben:

Hey, we are Ben and Bekah, we have two daughters Lucia and our very new addition Rosa. We live and serve in Thailand working with a ministry named Cru. Our main area of interest are university campuses in Bangkok where we work to engage students with the gospel so that they have the opportunity to begin a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ. Those who become Christians are then discipled so that they too can share their faith with others. We are currently working on two campuses, Chulalongkorn university which is the highest rated university in Thailand, and King Mongkut University of Technology which is a small STEM university. We have growing movements of believers in both universities. Thailand is predominately Buddhist and to be Thai is to be Buddhist. We need prayer to break down these spiritual strongholds that hold Thais so strongly to worshipping false gods and idols. Please pray that we would see more Thais saved, and that we would see more Thais sent out.
Prayer requests:
Pray for our family as we adjust to being a family of 4,
pray that Rosa and Lucia will become good friends,
pray for Ben as he dives into intensive language this year that he would obtain conversational fluency in a year.
