The Davis Family Mission
Our mission is to serve Thailand, starting in Nakhon Si Thammarat (southern Thailand) through church planting, literature & media production & translation, solid biblical reformed teaching in Thai and available freely to the public, and local christian business that can grow to support local believers with a safe, stable, well-paying workplace where Christian fellowship and biblical discussion happens all day long.
Thai Topical TractsThai topical tracts was started out of a calling to create scripture heavy tracts which are mainly compilations of scripture for the purpose of teaching and also evangelism, which cover a large number of topics. I am currently working at a pace of 1 tract every couple weeks but am aiming at improving the efficiency of my work until I can produce at least one per week. These tracts hopefully will be used by local thai pastors who might lack the kind of theological education we are used to in the west, but having topics laid out in a simple format will help teachers and preachers keep it biblical and not stray into heresy.

Reformation MediaReformation media is a church-planting precursor, we do not yet have members, but I want to get to the point where i can produce videos on a regular basis, both short subtitled videos and longer sermons as my Thai improves. I believe if we build a local online following, locals will be more comfortable and confident to join our weekly service at our home, and then Reformation Church will be more offically founded.

Tent-makingI started teaching english at my home about 8 years ago, and now have a bunch of regular students who come to learn english with me. I helped my wife start a bakery about 3 years ago, and it is going well as well. These places of business are for supporting ourselves and for supporting others. The more financial support we recieve from supporters, the more able we will be to hire employees, both christian and not, for the purpose of fellowship and evangelism respectively. These businesses will support the churches planted here long term, meaning they will never lack the ability to provide adiquate meeting space and food for their members.
