The Kingdom of Thailand, previously known as Siam, is situated in the heart of Southeast Asia with Bangkok as its capital city. It shares a border with Burma to the east, Laos to the northeast, Cambodia to the west, and Malaysia to the south. Thailand is around 198,114 square miles, or roughly the size of the state of Texas. The country is divided into four natural regions: the north, northeast, the central plain, and the south. The north is a mountainous region comprised of ridges, natural forest, and deep, narrow alluvial valleys.
The earth-shattering commitment of the early believers was to follow Christ recklessly! Their abandonment to Christ is what made them uncontrollable in the eyes of most civil leaders! While God’s moral law was held in high esteem by these spiritual “renegades,” they had little respect for rules and theologies that took the individual’s focus off the Lord Jesus Christ. If principles and practices in any way obscured Him, they were seen as not only unnecessary, but downright dangerous; heretical!
