Your Giving to God’s
work through NTIM Is Making A Difference – Update June 3, 2025
As I sit down to write this thank you letter, I am reminded
of the awesome reality that GOD IS AT WORK changing lives and allowing
us to join Him in reaching into some of the least reached people groups in the
entire world. Your partnership in giving is what allows us do make a difference
for the Kingdom of God in a very dark part of God’s world. Every day is a new
day to join God in what He is doing in drawing people to Jesus who are from
some of the least reached people groups in our world today. Many of the new
believers are what we call 1st generation believers and the first
person in their entire family to become a follower of Jesus. One of the people
groups that we would ask you to pray for are the 3rd largest and
unreached people group in Thailand with over 7 million living in Northern
Thailand and 99 out of every 100 people are still lost without a personal
relationship with Jesus Christ. Below is a prayer card that you can print out
and put on your refrigerator or in your Bible to remind you to pray for the
unreached people group we encounter every single day of our lives here in
Northern Thailand. Below in the prayer card is a picture of Ja who just reached
her 22 year of serving the Lord with us on June 1st. Please read the
Bio on the prayer card. Your giving to NTIM goes to support us as we build up
leaders like this as well as reach the least of the reached here in Northern
Thailand. Your giving really does matter.
I can confidently say to each donor that gives to NTIM that
when you give to NTIM, you are giving to an organization that God is using in
extra ordinary ways to make disciples of some of the least reached people
groups in our world today. I can confidently assure you that NTIM is committed
to using the donations you entrust to us to go directly to the work on the
field. Not even one percent of your donation goes to administrative office type
expenses in the USA or any executive salary in the USA but 99+% of your
donation is sent directly to the field and the field missionaries and nationals
handle both the actual work of the field and most administrative issues. I am
pleased to inform you that none of our board members neither wish to receive a
salary nor do they receive a salary for their services given to NTIM but all of
our Board Member services are voluntarily given because it is one way that we
can serve the Lord and join God in doing our part of the great commission. Even
though my family personally receives support on the field, all of my services
as the Vice President and Director of Field Operations are done as a volunteer
just like the rest of our Board Members.
We know that each of you are concerned about the integrity
of funds for your donations and with all the bad news out there these days, we
don’t want you to lose heart in giving because there are good non-profit
organizations out there like NTIM that are doing tremendously good work for Jesus
and for His Kingdom and they need your support. Our Lord Jesus encourages us to
store up treasures for ourselves in heaven and giving to NTIM is one of those
ways you can do that. Thank you for partnering with us and trusting us enough
to freely give so that God can continue to use NTIM, Grace Language School,
Baan Athitaan Church, and other partners to reach some of the least reached
people groups in the world. If you have
internet access and want to see a short summary of the work of NTIM, here is a
link to our work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIgWaSlFo64&t=167s
It is a little old, and we will be working on a new video soon, but it helps
you see some of what we do.
When God called us to Thailand, He was calling us to a
ministry that is committed to taking the gospel of our Lord Jesus to where
millions have never heard. Some of the least reached people groups in our world
today. God has called us to invest our lives in making disciples of all the
nations, and we are beginning to see God move in mighty ways. We are writing you today to say thank you for
the donations you have already made. Thank you. We are also writing you to ask
if you would consider becoming one of our monthly key financial ministry
partners through Northern Thailand Impact Ministry, if you are not already
giving. Your giving matters to the expansion of God’s kingdom in and around
Northern Thailand.

Giving through NTIM is one way that you can store up
treasures in heaven and allow us to be your representatives to the nations in
and around Northern Thailand. Thank you for your investment in the past and thank
you for considering giving in a greater way in the future. As some of you know
we are in the middle of expanding God’s work here in Northern Thailand and have
started a new church planting project called “Project Payao” which I will write
a separate update on here in the next week or so.
Until the people in and around Northern Thailand know Him,
Michael L. Johnson, Vice President and Director of Field
Operations for NTIM, www.gontim.org
