Chris & Dora Barbee

Ministry description:

Field: Thailand
Home State: Kentucky

Chris and Dora both received degrees in Music Education from the University of Kentucky. Chris is currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Intercultural Studies from Asbury Theological Seminary and Dora teaches elementary general music at Lexington Christian Academy. They joined The Mission Society as career missionaries and are currently raising support to be able to go to Thailand and share the love of Christ with others. They would be more than happy to come speak at churches in Kentucky or any of the surrounding states!

Ministry Description:

Chris and Dora are appointed to teach English as a second language, develop children’s and youth ministries, and build relationships with the people of the Isaan region in the northeast part of Thailand. The Isaan region is Thailand’s poorest region, and Chris and Dora will be residing in Roi Et, the poorest province within that region. Although Thailand is 95% Buddhist and 4.6% Muslim, the love and truth of Christ is captivating hearts around the nation. Chris and Dora will be teaching in several village schools and spending time investing in the lives of the local children and youth. They are also interested in eventually engaging in campus ministry and recovery ministry in Roi Et.

Pray For:

The Holy Spirit to prepare the hearts of the Thai people to receive the Gospel

Christ’s help for us to effectively show His love to His people

Financial partners

Our ability to learn and utilize the Thai language and E-sarn dialect

Good health while traveling and in Thailand
