A PERFECT CHRISTMAS PRESENT
In this photograph, a church in Bangkok organized a fun Christmas party for 180 young enlisted Thai soldiers. During their boot camp, these young men took a break to enjoy good food, music, and also had a chance to get to know Jesus. They each received the Prince of Peace book.
Beautiful, Yet Cost Effective
We want to honor Christ by giving the most beautiful Christmas presents to Thai people. When someone receives Prince of Peace as a gift, there's immediate joy because it is printed as a precious sacred book, with graceful Thai style illustrations.
Especially Written for Common Thai People
The joy does not stop at the outreach event. Prince of Peace is the full Gospel of Luke, richly rendered in straightforward Thai language. It is easy to understand, even by children as young as fifth-graders.
We assume that the readers have no Christian background whatsoever. Unfamiliar Christian concepts are clearly explained. Plus we use info boxes to highlight any messages or stories that speak directly to the Thai way of life.
Lower the Barrier
" An important aspect of Prince of Peace is that the readers don’t feel that we are forcing our religion on them. Thai people are very sensitive on this matter."
"Prince of Peace is not perceived as a Bible. They perceive that we are giving them a story book. But our hope is that they will read it because it is the Gospel. All our church leaders feel the same way."
