Meet Daeng


Daeng has been a member of City Gate Church for 7 years. After 2 years of serving and worshiping at CGC, it became clear that Daeng had a heart to serve God full time. She prayerfully considered what to do, and approached Pastor Gampon and Mirjam Kumdee about Bible school. She was sent out with Prayers and some financial support. In 2006 Daeng completed 4 years of Training at Bangkok Bible School and then returned to Chiang Mai City Gate Church, where she has now been on Staff for 1 year.

Daeng's giftings are in Children's Ministry, Worship, and Song Writing. Every Friday she volunteers with our church's Children's Hospital visitation team, and on Sunday mornings she assists with teaching Sunday School. She is a gifted Musician and Worship Leader. Many of Daeng's songs are well known in churches all over Thailand. She is hoping to be involved in the production of Worship VideoCDs for Thai children.

We believe in Daeng's calling to Full Time Service, and would like to see her released fully into the destiny that God has for her. Daeng has made great sacrifices in order to work with us, and is in need of financial support to continue her work. Currently, CGC is not even able to provide her with 'minimum wage'. If you are interested in supporting Daeng either financially or in prayer, the please contact us by email and view our website for further details.

Welcome!

Welcome to City Gate Church, Chiang Mai, Thailand! We're so glad you dropped by to catch up on some news. We'll have a new update about our ministries real soon.

Coming soon....
The Lighthouse Coffee Shop.
City Gate Church is opening a coffee shop in May. It's purpose is two-fold. We want to to be a light in our community, serve good coffee and provide fast internet to our neighbours and students of a nearby college. We also desire to find a way to support our church staff at City Gate and our daughter churches in Northern Thailand. We have lots of start up costs, including 2 fridges (display case for cakes and a standard fridge for other perishables), furniture, lighting, and other renovations.
More details coming soon....
