Our Story

 

A dream was birthed in our hearts in 1992, that one day we would minister in an international community and impact the world for Jesus Christ.

On May 14th 1993 we began our Pastoral career in Tucson, Arizona where both our sons (Jamin & Jenson) were born.

As Lead Pastors for 25 years in Arizona it has been an honor to take mission teams around the world, plant churches and send missionaries into their call,

but in October of 2018 we got to fulfill our dream when we were launched to Pastor ICA International Christian Assembly Church in Bangkok, Thailand.

ICA is a vibrant international group of believers comprised of over 40 nationalities from around the world who live and work in the marketplace of Bangkok.

We have multiple fellowship groups (Pakistani, Chinese & Filipino) meeting once a month after second service.

There is a thriving young adult group that meets once a month for a night of worship on 1st first Sundays and connects every sunday after second service for lunch.

Our Chi Alpha campus ministry called “One More Friend” was started on the Campus of Stamford University.

Sealed.Life and Project Rescue Thailand have joined forces to STOP Human and Sex trafficking and to value, love and repurpose

the lives of those that have been victimized by modern day slavery.

Every Thursday we get to feed 250 people on the streets of Bangkok and pray for signs, wonders and miracles.

The Women’s Prison Ministry was just relaunched since covid and is a delight to serve in.

What a joy to have helped build 3 churches in Nepal and our first ICA daughter church in Surat thani at the Southern Tip of Thailand

The Province of Surat Thani has 1 million people and less then 4000 believers and this is the first ever english speaking church in the city.

20 Interns, MA, MAPS workers since 2018 have gone through our discipleship program and hosted countless mission’s teams from the USA.

In October 2023 we were approved to launch the first ever LASSO FOOD TRUCK a BAM Project (Business As Mission)

A moble cafe on the streets of Bangkok to bring the good news of christ to some of the darkest corners of Thailand

This small dream God placed in us in 1992 has become a reality and we count it to be an honor to serve the Lord in Bangkok, Thailand and beyond.

Our mission statement is simply to LOVE, DISCIPLE & SEND.

Once a year we get to come back to the USA for a 6 week shortened itineration which enables us to raise our monthly support and ministry funds

that operates and runs many of the ministries here in Bangkok

Your prayer and financial support allows us to make our dream a reality and enables us to live out the call of God on our lives.

THANK YOU!!!

LOVE . DISCIPLE . SEND

Pastors Dana & Brigette Metcalf
