Christmas 2024 in Chiang Mai was a complete joy for our congregation. Our Apostle Fred Wolf visited us. Since most of our brothers and sisters had to work – Christmas is not an official holiday in Thailand – the divine service took place in the evening, which did not dampen the mood at all.

Our Apostle served with the text from Isaiah 7:14 – ‘Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel, which means, God with us.’ After the divine service, the congregation enjoyed a lovely fellowship together over a small snack.”

On December 15, 2024, Priest Wolfgang Klein, the rector of the congregations in Chiang Mai and Hua Hin, visited the congregation in Hua Hin.

He ministered with the Bible verse from Matthew 9:27: “As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, crying out, ‘Have mercy on us, Son of David’.”

The service was held in German, with a part of the sermon in English.

The congregation in Hua Hin consists of members from Thailand, Switzerland and Germany.

Services are held regularly on Sundays at 10:00 a.m., most of which are broadcast from Chiang Mai in German with a translation into Thai.

Dates for in-person services with our Apostle Fred Wolf or a priest will be posted.

The bible text was from 2 Peter 3:13 “Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells”.

The small German-speaking congregation in Hua Hin experienced special days. It started off rather sadly. A long-time special friend, retired District Evangelist Bruno Odermatt, passed away at the age of 68, and on Sunday, October 20th, Apostle Fred Wolf held a memorial and comfort service in our church in Hua Hin. It was quite a difficult moment, especially for the family, Bruno’s colleagues, and the congregation he served. Our comfort is that in communion with Christ, we remain connected until we meet again.

The greatest comfort is always found in shared joy. District Apostle Edy Isnugroho, along with Apostle Samuel Tansahtikno, visited Hua Hin from October 25 to 28 for a special gathering. Our German/English-speaking brothers and sisters and a good number of Thai members shared special moments of fellowship, conversations, delicious Thai food, and the highlight on Sunday, the celebration of service. The church was filled to capacity.

A particular joy was brought by the reinstating of Brother Donovan Daniels from South Africa into the Priestly ministry, allowing services to be offered again in Bangkok after a long time. Brother Martin Sowa from Germany was reinstated as a Deacon, thereby strengthening the congregation in Hua Hin. Not only joy but also some heartache was caused by the retirement of Priest Oswin from Chiang Mai. He was loved and highly regarded. He had retired from Germany and then accepted the pastoral mandate as a Priest for Chiang Mai for another 10 years. An impressive service for the Lord spanning almost 50 years. He truly deserved an honorable retirement. There are not many in the entire worldwide church like Oswin.

On Saturday, everyone was able to relax during a three-hour boat trip off the coast of Hua Hin, enjoying the breathtaking coastline and scenery. All local members happily shared the incurred costs to make this special experience possible.

Thailand is indeed a special country where we belong to the Christian minority. Yet, the perseverance of loyal brothers and sisters kept the small flock together, and the church looks back on around 50 active years
