TEAM Isaan’s Development Center was burglarized earlier this month, according to C&MA workers Jon and Joy Chase. The couple, who serve with TEAM Isaan—an Alliance church-planting initiative in northeast Thailand—had just taken up residence in the center, where they serve as on-site managers.
“The person who broke into the center and stole a wallet and phone a few months ago had been released from prison,” they wrote in their June prayer update. Someone had been seen lurking around the property recently, but the Chases weren’t sure who it was. They thought it might have been one of the many construction workers.
Later, other residents of the center confirmed it was the same thief. This time, he stole some money and jewelry.
The Development Center was established for the purpose of training workers for ministry and for income-generating farming projects.

“Pray for the Lord’s protection over us and our home while we are still making the place more secure,” the Chases said.
