CCT Responds to Emergency on Thai - Burma Border

November 2010

Social Development and Service Unit of the Church of Christ in Thailand together with the Christian Conference of Asia and Church World Service were quick to respond to the emergency situation that occurred in both Mae Sot and Sangklaburi townships earlier this month.

8 November 2010, one day after the General Elections in Myanmar, over 3,000 townspeople from Mywaddy and Phaya Taung Su were forced flee fighting between Burma Army troops and ethnic insurgents. Most left their homes with only the clothes on their backs. Some were actually injured in the fighting. One eight year old boy was killed from mortar shrapnel.

CCT Hosts Pilgrims from the Protestant Church of the Netherlands

Posted by Mike Fucella |

The Church of Christ in Thailand has had a relationship with the Protestant Church of the Netherlands for many years now. Most notably, of recent years the relationship has taken form in the person of Karsten and Irene van Staveren who have been working in Chiang Mai where Karsten teaches at the McGilvary Faculty of Divinity of Payap University. Karsten's journey in cross cultural mission and devotion to the CCT grew partly from his being brought up as a missionary kid. His parents (Marten and Hanneke) were Marburger missionaries for many years during his youth serving both in Chiang Rai and Payao Provinces.

The CCT were given the honour of welcoming Marten and Hanneke van Staveren as they led a group of six others on a pilgrimage to visit ministries here in Thailand on October 26.
