Gates of Freedom is building practical, faith-based recovery support in Thailand through trusted relationships, biblical discipleship, teaching, Bibles, and practical resources.
Your support helps us continue this work today while building toward safe, accountable residential recovery support in Thailand in the future.

Faith-based teaching, recovery lessons, accountability, prayer, Bibles, and practical materials for men and families.

Shared meals, meeting space, transportation, printing, reading glasses, audio Bibles, and the basic resources needed to continue meeting people consistently

Developing the relationships, systems, partnerships, training, and resources needed to eventually establish residential recovery support in Thailand.

Our work in Lamphun is relationship based.
We meet people where they are. We share meals. We teach. We pray. We provide Bibles and practical learning materials. We return consistently and build trust over time.
Recovery rarely begins with one conversation. It often begins when someone knows another person is willing to keep showing up.
That is what Gates of Freedom is committed to doing.
We are also working alongside local Christian leaders and developing stronger ministry partnerships in Chiang Mai and the surrounding region so this work can grow responsibly.

Current ministry expenses include:
We work to keep ministry expenses practical and focused on what helps us serve people consistently.
One time gifts help meet immediate needs. Monthly support gives Gates of Freedom the stability to plan ahead, return consistently, and continue building the ministry rather than starting over financially each month.
Our current ministry support goal is:
$7,000 per month
Even a smaller monthly commitment helps us build a dependable base of support.

The work we are doing now is laying the foundation for something larger.
The long-term Gates of Freedom vision is to establish safe, accountable residential recovery support in Thailand built around biblical discipleship, recovery principles, structure, community, and personal responsibility.
The future residential program is still in development.
It is not currently operating as an inpatient treatment facility, medical detox center, or clinical counseling program.
Our goal is to build this carefully, legally, responsibly, and in partnership with people who understand Thailand and the communities we serve.


We also need prayer, relationships, church partnerships, referrals, introductions, and people willing to share the work with others.
Please pray for the people we serve, our local ministry partners, wisdom for every next step, and the resources needed to continue building Gates of Freedom responsibly.
