Changed by the Gospel: Reflecting on the Thailand Mission Trip

Host Hanna Eyobed sits down with her friends Nana and Camille to reflect on a life-changing mission trip to Thailand with New Culture Church. The three women share candid stories from the field, honest wrestling with faith, and the unexpected ways God met them — and changed them — through the journey.GuestsNaana Dampare — Current UW-Madison senior majoring in NeurobiologyCamille Miles — UW-Madison 2024 graduateThe New Culture Church team served alongside Full Heart Church in Korat and International Christian Assembly (ICA) in Bangkok, visiting:Three local schoolsA youth prisonHomeless sheltersThe Red Light District in Bangkok (prayer walk and Sealed Kids Club)A rural village to pray with the only known believer in the areaHanna, Nana, and Camille reflect on a transformative mission trip to Thailand, where God's provision carried them from a leap of faith through seven months of preparation and into the field — serving incarcerated youth, children in the Red-Light District, and a lone believer in a rural village. They wrestle honestly with what faithful missions looks like: approaching communities with a servant's heart, contextualizing the Gospel with cultural humility, and navigating spiritual discernment in a Buddhist country with wisdom over boldness. Each woman left with a deeper revelation of God — Camille anchored in His sovereignty, Nana moved by His intentionality in the smallest moments, and Hanna resting in His trustworthiness to work through imperfect people — convictions deepened by the fervent, joy-rooted prayer of the Thai church they now carry home.Key Scriptures ReferencedPhilippians 1:6 — "He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion."Colossians 1:17 — He holds all things together.The Lord's Prayer — "Your kingdom come, your will be done."Connect & FollowApple Podcasts: Listen on Apple PodcastsSpotify: Listen on Spotify"Many Christians think that they are sent on mission to change the world through the gospel — but oftentimes, we find ourselves changed by the same gospel." — Hanna EyobedSend us Fan MailThis episode was created by the SLBF STUDIO.
