He is a community leader and an elder in the church. For many years he was a leader in the community. He seldom sees the good in the community, he only sees the obstacles and problems in the community. There are a lot of people there who still don&#8217;t believe in God. After Pa See learned about community resource plans ( through Discipling for Development, D4D), he came to see that God&#8217;s creation is good and whole. He can thank God for God&#8217;s creation and has a heart for preserving resources in the community and being useful in the community.<\/p>\n<p>Before he did not know how to ask positive questions, he always saw people in his community in a negative light. For this reason, sometimes people in his community don&#8217;t have a good relationship with him and don&#8217;t like him as much. This is an obstacle for him as a community leader.<\/p>\n<p>After he learned these lessons, he had a change in attitude. In terms of speaking, he began to look more positively and use positive words. For himself, he wanted to be an example to the people in the community, so that the people in the community could see Christ through his life and God would be glorified.<\/p>\n<p>My prayer request is for God to work through our team and community so that everything we are doing will glorify God.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for your prayer and your support.<\/p>\n<p>From,<\/p>\n<p>Charlee Kunakorn<\/p>\n<p>Executive Director, The Way Foundation<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-22373 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/EFM-Thailand-Support-Button-300x75.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/EFM-Thailand-Support-Button-300x75.png 300w, https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/EFM-Thailand-Support-Button-1024x256.png 1024w, https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/EFM-Thailand-Support-Button-768x192.png 768w, https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/EFM-Thailand-Support-Button-1536x384.png 1536w, https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/EFM-Thailand-Support-Button-18x5.png 18w, https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/EFM-Thailand-Support-Button-600x150.png 600w, https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/EFM-Thailand-Support-Button.png 1667w\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"75\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EFM\u2019s relationship with The Way Foundation in Thailand is valuable in continuing the Great Commission work in Southeast Asia.
