Mitreejit Christian Primary School for Tribal Children

Since we have been supporting many tribal children in different homes, the committee had finally agree to take over one Christian school that was closing down in Chiang Mai down town and move it to the mountain area call ?Doisaket? where many of the tribal children homes are located. |

The idea of having this tribal school is to reach out to the tribal children and their families. Many of them are so call Christians but do not really born again and walk with God. Some of them are still followed the old traditions that not living in line with Christian teaching. Moving down to the town they can easily follow the fashion of this world. The school will try to lead the children to Christ and take good care of them spiritually for 9 years while they are studying in our primary school. We will provide opportunity for the students to worship the Lord daily and to disciple the students since they are young to walk with the lord and be His disciples. We also teach the academic subjects to the students aiming at excellent quality. The specific families who send their children to our school will have chance of a better lifestyle and future. The parents know that their children will have a better education and better future. |

It is also good opportunity for the girls from Peace Home who graduate from Teachers? College will have opportunity to serve the Lord by being teachers at our school. Two of them will graduate this year and the other teachers are graduating next year. We rent the old government school that had closed down for 7 years. The condition of the school building was very poor. We have to do the renovation of the whole place. After spending a lot of time and money on it, now it become a lively and beautiful school again.

This year 2007, we have altogether 115 students and receive a monthly support from the government about 41,000 baht or about 1,300 US dollars. But we have to pay the salary for 10 teachers and 2 workers about 92,000 baht per month. Next year we expect to have more than 250 students and receive support about 96,000 baht from the government adding to the money we receive from the parents or from different supporting foundations who send the children to our school, we should have enough money to run the school effectively. Only we need to invest on new school building in order to enlarge the capacity of the school in order to take in more students. All these ministries have happened within 7 years since we have begun the ministry under the Far Corners World Mission. Many souls were saved eternally. Praise the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ who gave Himself to this wonderful plan of salvation for all mankind. Glory and honor be unto His name. |
