Sukhothai Project - Nortons
There are hundreds of cities and towns in Asia where there is no Adventist congregation, not even a believing member. For many years, Sukhothai, Thailand, was one of these cities.
The Norton Family landed on Thai soil in August 2019 and moved to Sukhothai shortly thereafter. Within the first 12 months, God had sent them six children in need of a safe and loving home. As of June 2022 they have taken in 22 kids.
The Mission Post
Located in the center of Sukhothai, the city where the Nortons live, is the Mission Post which serves as a center of influence and the city’s first church plant. There the Nortons have a ministry giving food to needy community members and teaching English classes to local children.
The Children’s Home
God opened the doors in November 2020 for the Nortons to start a two-year purchase agreement for property for the children’s home, and they moved in last December. This property has been such a blessing because it came with several completed buildings, grassy areas for the kids to play, and room for expansion. For the last few months the children's home staff have been busy renovating and adding on to the buildings on the property. One old building has become a worship room and schoolhouse, and some giant old carports have been turned into dormitories for children to live in and a large outdoor kitchen.
Here are a few things your gift will support:
Food for the kids, staff, and community members in need.
School supplies and other items for the children.
Rent and other expenses for the Mission Post.
Renovation costs for the dormitories and other projects for the children’s home.
And more!
