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.

GUESTS

Naana Dampare — Current UW-Madison senior majoring in Neurobiology

Camille Miles — UW-Madison 2024 graduate

The New Culture Church team served alongside Full Heart Church in Korat and International Christian Assembly (ICA) in Bangkok, visiting:

· Three local schools

· A youth prison

· Homeless shelters

· The Red Light District in Bangkok (prayer walk and Sealed Kids Club)

· A rural village to pray with the only known believer in the area

Hanna, 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.
