Mission in Thailand
A Great Door For Effective Service Has [Re]Opened
A trusted invitation into a proven field of ministry, rooted in faith, relationship, and long-term service.
The Story
A journey shaped by calling.
As I transition from my role as Lead Pastor at Proclaimers in the UK, I believe God is calling me into a significant new season in Thailand. It is my privilege to invite you to partner with me in this work.
I believe the Lord has [re]opened a strategic door of effective service, marked by spiritual urgency, clear purpose, and real opportunity. This is not a new vision built on aspiration alone. It is founded on years of ministry, trusted relationships, and proven fruitfulness.
Thailand is a nation I have loved and served for many years. I will now have the opportunity to return four times each year for periods of four to six weeks.
Because I speak Thai fluently and understand the culture well, I can step straight into meaningful ministry. The relationships are established, the trust is there, and the doors are open. That means your partnership helps release immediate impact, not simply future possibility.
A Word on the Mission
“At this stage of life, I see age not as a limitation, but as a strength. Years of ministry have given me perspective, tested experience, and deep relational trust.
In Thai culture, there is a profound respect for those who are older, which adds weight and credibility to this season of ministry.”
— Tom Rawls
The Mission
Rooted in faith, built through presence.
My heart is to invest all of that into pastors, leaders, and especially the rising generation. I want to preach and teach in a way that stirs hunger for the Holy Spirit and equips leaders to serve with genuine anointing, spiritual authority, and courage. The need is real. Churches need strengthening. Leaders need encouragement. Younger ministers need equipping. I believe God is creating space for a ministry that is relational, Spirit-led, and positioned to bear lasting fruit.
That is why your partnership matters. When you give, you are doing far more than meeting practical costs. You are helping strengthen churches, encourage pastors, equip emerging leaders, and advance the gospel in Thailand and beyond. Your support becomes part of every message preached, every leader strengthened, every relationship deepened, and every door God opens.
“This is work that cannot be rushed.”
Partnership Invitation
Join the Work
For those who want to invest in something both proven and future-shaping, this is a meaningful opportunity. I would be deeply grateful for your partnership in prayer, encouragement, and financial support. I believe this is a moment to respond to God’s leading with faith and generosity. A great door has opened again, and I would be honoured to have you stand with me in this work.
