Tun Bru Seeker Group


Satan attacks Thais by discouraging people through family members and neighbors putting pressure on them to not study the Bible. People also get discouraged because they want quick answers and are not willing to take the time to learn. Satan uses other means of resistance too. Without knowing what Christians really believe, people have a hard time deciding whether to believe or not.

Living in the countryside in a bamboo house on stilts, Tan is a young adult who wants to study the Bible. Despite five other family members dropping out of the seeker group, she wants to make her life better. She has the highest education of all other people in her family – a high school certificate. Her husband has a 6th grade education and most of his family members have a 4th grade to 6th grade education. The family taps rubber trees and harvests palm oil fruit for a living. Tan (adult pictured above) was embarrassed about studying by herself, so she asked if we could come later so that some of the children could study with her. We began a new schedule this week with 1 adult and 2 older children.
