YWAM Taphraya
Taphraya District is located on the Thai-Cambodian border. Taphraya was
the site of two large refugee camps in the 801s. Youth With A Mission worked
in both of these camps, Site 2 in the north and Khao-I-Dang in the south, until
the refugees were repatriated back to their own countries. Since that time a
church consisting mainly of ethnic Northern Khmer (Cambodian) people has been
established in the district. YWAM is continuing to work with the church to
strengthen and develop local leadership and is assisting in the areas of
discipleship and income development.
Ministry Involvement
Our aim is to work with God in establishing His church so it can function
well without external financial assistance. Aside from the ongoing role of
discipling, we have started a sewing project for village women with the aim
of producing quality school uniforms which can be sold both locally and in
other districts in the province. We have also established a fund for
micro-enterprise development. This is available for both Christians and
non-Christians, depending upon needs and circumstances.
YWAM is also involved in job creation and training. This includes cloth weaving,
flower raising and various projects aimed primarily at women and children on the
ThaiCambodian border. The goal is to help them by able to support themselves,
while at the same time sharing the love of God with them. If you would like to
know more about our ministry in Taphraya, please write to
