Christian Mission House Restoration: Restoring a Historic Site for Future Generations
The Panrak Foundation has continued to support the restoration project of the Christian Mission Home, a place of historical and spiritual value the goal is to restore and redevelop the house to its full functionality and serve as a space for relaxation, spiritual renewal, and fellowship for future generations.
This restoration project focuses on improving the existing buildings on the land to be more convenient, safe, and beautiful, while preserving the peaceful and shady atmosphere that is the unique identity of this place.
One of the pioneers, Rev. Richard Wolley, described the origins of the place as follows:
Cha-am House, as it was first called, was known among missionaries as a vacation home, owned by two parties, the American Baptist Mission (75%) and the Deciple Mission (25%). The property was later handed over to the Church of Christ in Thailand and was maintained by the Thailand Baptist Missionary Fellowship before being taken over by the American Baptist Mission, although it is currently registered as the property of the Christian Service Foundation. But the care remains the responsibility of a committee jointly appointed by all parties*.
In 2019, the Panrak Foundation supported the Cha-am Christian Mission House
for major renovations, including:
• Replaced roofs and ceilings in all residences.
• Completely renovated the electrical system.
• Installed fans in the residences, dining room, and church buildings.
• Supported volunteers to maintain, clean, and repair areas as resources permit.
The Panrak Foundation continues to work with the Thailand Baptist Missionary Fellowship and the Christian Service Foundation to continue the restoration of this historic site And return to being a vibrant place, filled with a mission of love and renewal of life, both body and spirit.
