| | Title: One-Way Missions in the Age of Global Christianity: A View from Thailand
Author: Zehner, Edwin
Description: This article outlines the rapidly increasing level of missionary activity by Thailand’s Protestant churches and then notes a tendency for missions to flow from groups of higher prestige and socio-economic power to groups of lower prestige. Noting that the same pattern is observable among Christian missions worldwide, the author calls for greater attention to the patterns of church-mission partnerships, greater openness to spiritual leadership from groups of lower status, and greater attention to the work of non- Western missions worldwide. He also notes that failure to correct these patterns could sometimes lead missions to overlook the very kinds of movements among less respected peoples that had given rise to the churches in which their own personnel had been raised.

| | Title: Thai Church: If You Build It They Will Come?
Author: Lambert, John
Description: One of the more interesting things that I have come across in Thailand is the church planting strategy of a group of zealous Asians (not Thai) who have been working to plant churches in the nation. They seem to be operating in a very different paradigm than most others, in that they build tremendous buildings and facilities from the ground up, but many times, don’t even have more than 50 believers to fill them.
