December Goal: Reflect on this year’s 11 challenges and design a personal goal for December. Overview: As we close out the year, take time to reflect on the journey so far: What challenge grew you the most? What stretched you or pushed you out of your comfort zone? Why was it so hard, and what did you learn? Using your reflections, create a goal for December that builds on what God has already started in your life this year. Make it something meaningful, achievable, and uniquely tailored to your own growth. Examples of Personal Goals: Commit to praying daily for someone in your life. Dedicate time each week to serve your community or someone in need. Focus on deepening your understanding of a specific Scripture passage or theme. Revisit a past challenge and try it again with renewed energy. Write your goal down and pray over it. Consider sharing it with a friend or family member who can encourage and support you as you finish the year strong, keeping your eyes on Jesus. "Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:13-14

Youth Ministry Presenting Students Mature in Christ Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ. - Col 1:28 Maturity in Christ means Christlikeness. We value Christlikeness in all areas of life which we've summed up in four words: Humility : "It's not about me." We are dedicated to teaching students to deny themselves, pick up their cross daily, and follow Jesus. (Philippians 2:1-11) Hospitality : "It's about them." We are dedicated to teaching students to behave in such a way that every stranger can be treated like a neighbor. (Luke 10:25-37) Love: "It's about 'us'." We are dedicated to teaching students to think with a "we first" mentality, not a "me first" mentality. To participate in youth group and to encourage others before trying to be encouraged themselves. (John 13:34) Devotion: "It's about Him." We are dedicated to teaching students not merely about God, but to know God and how to seek Him out for the rest of their lives. Our goal is not to just give information about God, but to build lifelong disciples.

The word catechism comes from a Greek term meaning "to instruct" or "to teach," and that’s exactly what we’ll be doing! Each week, students will explore key questions about faith, memorize foundational truths, and engage in meaningful discussions. Through this interactive approach, they’ll build a strong understanding of what we believe and why it matters. Join us as we grow together in faith, knowledge, and spiritual maturity!

Our Global Workers Reaching Ayutthaya SIM (Serving in Missions) - Ayutthaya Team Mission Focus SIM Thailand’s vision is “By faith we see the unreached of Thailand authentically responding to the Gospel and being discipled into biblically-based, community transforming churches that engage in mission.” With this vision, SIM Thailand started a team in Ayutthaya, Thailand. SIM Ayutthaya is a multi-cultural and multi-skilled team. Members come from different countries and cultures but are united by their response to the Great Commission. The team is currently focused in four main core ministries: Hope for Life (Ministry to the Underprivileged), Santisuk Church (Church Planting Ministry), AUR Community (University Students Ministry) and Joyful Heart Bilingual House (Language Teaching Ministry). Reaching Ayutthaya Ayutthaya is a city in Thailand that is 0.5% Christian. The SIM mission in Ayutthaya seeks to reach out to its neighbors in a variety of ways: Hope for Life: This program includes English and life skill classes for children in the schools and on the temple grounds, as well as home visits to families. Joyful Heart Bilingual House: These tuition-based language classes teach English and Mandarin in a structured setting. This enables the mission to reach a segment of the population who are more educated and/or financially able. In order to serve the Thai people well, the staff are dedicated to improving their Thai language skills. This allows them to be effective communicators with those that they are trying to reach. Additionally, understanding the Thai culture is vitally important to interacting well to build credibility and trust with those they seek to serve. Church planting: Santisuk Church - A pastor and his wife work diligently to shepherd their small flock and draw others in. Serving in local churches: The staff and global workers of the Ayutthaya team split up to attend four different local churches. Their goal is to become giving and serving members of these churches. By dividing up among different churches, they are able to build relationships between churches and to strengthen the church overall in Ayutthaya. AUR Community (University Students Ministry): ministry to University Students. Back to Global Workers

Our Global Workers Kyle McEachron International Christian School of Budapest Mission Focus I am currently serving as a secondary art and graphic design teacher at the International Christian School of Budapest in Diosd, Hungary, a Christ-centered school that acts as both an affordable school for missions families and a school for locals and internationals who seek an education at an international English speaking school, opening doors for the Gospel to be heard in our school and seen through our community. Through fostering students’ love of art and design, I hope to serve the school and families as well as continue building into the lives of the students God has placed here. I hope to be a part of the school’s vision to create a community of Christ followers, active thinkers, effective communicators, global citizens, and faithful stewards. I am also working to become involved in the community in whatever ways God opens the door for. LEARN MORE Testimony I came to know Christ at a young age and grew up in the church, but my faith was largely centered around following the rules and avoiding all the don'ts rather than seeking opportunities to grow and be involved. My faith grew in the last few years of high school and in college thanks to godly leaders and influences in my life, but I still had my own idea for how I wanted my life to go and when those plans didn't pan out, I had to face a harsh reality check. God helped me through it by getting me involved in serving with the youth, studying the Bible through BSF, and getting involved with missions through short term trips to Hungary, reminding me that His plans are better than my own.

Our Global Workers Ryan and Pe Symens SIM —Thailand Mission Focus I have the joy of getting to serve in two distinct ministries here in Thailand- the SIM Thailand Personnel Director and Local Thai Church Leader. As the Personnel Director, I have the privilege of walking with and supporting our over 90 missionaries serving with SIM in Thailand. Each week this may look a bit different. For one family, this could look like Zoom calls or in-person visits to discuss physical, mental, or spiritual health. For another, it may be talking about ministry strategy, vision, and planning. However, for another this could look like in person visits for encouragement, assisting with a visa renewal, or simply participating in their ministry! The benchmark for success is “Personnel is succeeding when our missionaries are able to thrive on the field and in the ministries they feel called to serve in.” It’s a joy and honor to serve our team in this way. An additional responsibility, outside of caring for our missionaries in Thailand, is getting to journey alongside those who have an interest in serving in Thailand. Part of my ministry is interviewing prospective missionaries interested in joining our team, coaching them through their onboarding, and preparation process, and then orienting and onboarding them as they arrive. Each of these “steps” are quite different, but it has been such an encouragement to me to see how God works through His children in each of these things. And I have learned so much from those He has brought! Outside of my Personnel Director ministry, I’m also privileged to be on the leadership team at a local Thai church located just across the street from Chiang Mai University. I am the only..foreigner in my small church which usually averages about 15 members on a Sunday, a majority of whom are University students. I am at the church most evenings building relationships through things like playing board games, spending time with the two other leaders and their families to encourage them, prayer walking with the Pastor or preparing/practicing for the worship music on Sunday mornings. It’s been incredible to see how the Lord has used both my experiences and age to connect with the church leaders and students to build deep relationships quite quickly."
