Thailand: the Mills family
Serving with Mission to the World
Tim and Rhianna Mills first traveled to Bangkok in 2001 with a group from Intown Community Church in Atlanta. They spent a number of days observing the work of Mission to the World (MTW) in the city center. That initial experience, coupled with another trip the following year, led to a desire to move and join the work there. The Mills moved to Thailand in 2006 to begin life and work in urban church-planting. The Kingdom of Thailand is a beautiful, tropical country full of kind and warm people, garnering the appropriate moniker, the Land of Smiles. It's one of the world's most thoroughly Buddhist nations with this ancient religion intrinsically tied to all facets of life and Thai cultural identity. Bangkok, its capital city, teems with 14 million people and is an exotic melding of ancient tradition and modernity. The good of the city and its inhabitants stands in contrast to the corruption, sexual exploitation, poverty, and other social ills to be found there, pointing to humanity's fallen nature and our need for redemption and renewal through Jesus Christ. The MTW team in Bangkok longs to see the transformation of this great city - To see Bangkok's residents come to experience the love, mercy, and grace of God. The team works alongside Thai leaders to see urban churches started and supports gospel-centered initiatives throughout the city. Rhianna teaches at a local international school and Tim splits his time working in the arts and helping to lead worship at Grace City Bangkok. The Mills have three children: Emmalynn, Asa, and Julian...and a dog named Naamtan.
