‘Thank you for introducing Jesus to me’

Bo, from Thailand was raised by her father’s ex-girlfriend, who already had her own family and responsibilities, and always felt unwanted by her biological parents and relatives. 

She was part of OM’s scholarship programme for many years, and after finishing high school, the OM team offered Bo the chance to return to Tha Sala, in southern Thailand, to continue studying what she loves. They provided her with a scholarship, helped with accommodation in a women’s dorm and daily meals, and allowed her to take part-time work alongside her studies. 

At the end of the semester in late March 2026, Bo said she wanted to work during the school break so that she could save enough to not work during the school semester. She contacted OM worker, Mimi, to ask if she could stay with her in Chonburi, on the east coast, during the school break and find work. God moved Mimi to say yes to Bo staying with her and invited her to help with ministry opportunities during the two months. 

Bo’s summer break has been filled with new experiences: living with a Jesus follower, reading the Bible together every morning, visiting the dentist for the first time ever, enjoying Thai New Year (water festival) celebrations, serving a small local church and travelling to North East Thailand to meet her grandfather, who had raised her until her grandma died. 

One day in a casual conversation, Bo said, “Thank you for introducing Jesus to me.” The team praises God for this precious opportunity to show someone what a life with Jesus looks like.
