Chiang Mai, Thailand
Missions Adventure
July 18 - August 3, 2025
$3,975
Nestled in the mountains of northern Thailand, the city of Chiang Mai is quickly developing into an influential voice to the rest of the country, and very open to the gospel. We have partnered with a great missionaries/ministry and a gospel-centered church seeking to continue building a worshipping, gospel community—one that impacts people’s everyday lives through relationships, home-to-home prayer and ministry, worship, red-light district outreaches, church ministry, children's ministry, school and orphanages and more. The gospel can transform lives and through the many opportunities offered to share the gospel, we guarantee that lives will be changed and an eternal impact will be made.
Our village trip to northern Thailand is home to a number of ethnic minority groups known broadly as "the hill tribes," each of which maintains its own culture, language and dress. Centuries-old cycles of poverty have left thousands of hill tribe children without parents, without education, and without hope...we plan on bringing the hope of Christ to the the hill tribes of Thailand.
Our free days will consist of visiting the Patara Elephant Farm (or Mountain Elephant Sanctuary) where we will spend a once-in-a-lifetime day as an "Elephant owner for a day." You will experience bathing and brushing an elephant in the river, bare-back riding your elephant through a forest and to a waterfall, feed and check its health, and learn to communicate with it through certain spoken commands (as seen on The Amazing Race). Other adventures during our free days will consist of shopping at the Chiang Mai gate market, experiencing all the amazing food at the night bazaar, attending a cultural dinner and traditional Thai dance, and be part of an unbelievable full-day of kayaking and caving during our Jungle Tour!
Apply early and be a part of a life-changing time in Thailand, summer of 2025!

Spiritual Gifts
Wide Awake Missions believes in the active work of the Holy Spirit and the dispersing of His gifts into the life of the believer.
Spiritual gifts are given by the Holy Spirit to Christ-followers to spread the Gospel and to fulfill the Great Commission. They are gifts, given to believers, for the sake of ministering to the body of Christ and evangelizing the lost in ways that are supernatural and otherwise impossible.
Paul tells the Corinthian church about the importance of spiritual gifts and emphasizes the fact that they are intended to build up other believers. Spiritual gifts were a part of the New Testament church. On the day of Pentecost, the apostles speak in tongues. Later on in Acts, we see them performing healings and miracles.
We see Jesus using spiritual gifts as part of His earthly ministry. He performed miracles and healings, and He prophesied. He performed these deeds in His humanity by the power of the Holy Spirit (Acts 10:38) and asked His followers to do the things He had been doing (Luke 9:1).
There are four main lists of spiritual gifts: Romans 12:5, 1 Corinthians 12:8-10, Ephesians 4:11-12, and 1 Corinthians 12:28. Paul encourages the Corinthian church to eagerly desire spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 14:1). Paul also encourages Timothy to "fan into flame” the gift God has given him (2 Timothy 1:6).
The fruit of the Holy Spirit, as described in Galatians 5:22–23, is the primary evidence of the Spirit-filled life. These qualities are produced by the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer. We evaluate the presence of the Spirit by the presence of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control in a person’s life and ministry.
We believe it is essential for believers to discover and exercise their spiritual gifts. These supernatural gifts given by God to Christ-followers testify that He alone is the true and LIVING God. Our expectation is that God will empower each believer with certain gifts for the sake of fulfilling the command to go and make disciples of all nations.
In all things, our sole focus is Jesus, not a particular gift, and our desire is to bring glory to God in all we do.
