LaMon teaches Bible, doctrine and other courses at Payap University in Chiang Mai, Thailand. While “foreign missionaries” can be effective in evangelism and starting new churches, Christians from Thailand have much more success. Therefore, training Thai Christians to impact their nation or people group for Christ is vital.

In addition to Thai students, others come to the school from tribal groups in Thailand and Myanmar (Burma), so the impact of Payap University extends even beyond Thai society.

As LaMon relates to students at Payup University, Patricia hopes to develop some similar relationships. She plans to work with women and children in deepening their faith and helping them to discover ways in which they can be effective in their ministries. She will also consult with parents of children with special needs, encouraging them and sharing ideas with them on effective teaching methods.
