History of

IN 1999
RHEMA Bible Church Bangkok was founded in 1999
by Rev. Gary & Connie Crowl after first visiting
Thailand in 1993 at which time God gave them a burden
to start a church in Bangkok,
emphasizing evangelistic missions and training believers.
Rev. Gary Crowl later returned with his family
to Thailand to set about doing the vision that God had given them.
A primary emphasis of the church is allowing the love of God
and the gospel of Jesus Christ to change the lives of people in Thailand.
Additionally, it is our desire to reach the lost, while at the same time
training and preparing believers how to do the work
of the ministry/serve God.
