What is the plan?

Kai Dong Praporn is a Kingdom initiative to raise up men and women of God who will stand firm in Christ, serve the weak, proclaim the Gospel, and prepare the Church for times of trial. This masterplan unites discipleship, stewardship, and witness through facilities and programs that embody God’s love in practical and spiritual ways. The purpose of this letter to give an executive summary of the project master plan.

 

Project Descriptions

  • Mission School: A holistic training program (body, mind, spirit) preparing missionaries and evangelists with courses in evangelism, trauma response, paramedic training, pastoral care, and media.

VCRP (Vietnamese Christians Relocation Project)

“We rescue, shelter, and restore persecuted Christians who are fleeing for their lives” We are helping persecuted Christians, particularly from ethnic minority communities who have been forced to flee their homes because of their faith in Jesus Christ. These are faithful families, not political activists or economic
migrants. 

True restoration means more than safety and shelter. It means equipping families for a future where they are no longer dependent on aid, but able to provide for themselves, their children, and, eventually, others.

From the beginning, VCRP was designed with this end in mind.

Because Thailand does not permit asylum seekers to work legally during the early stages of their stay, every livelihood initiative within VCRP is carefully structured to respect Thai law.

Persecution at home 

Safe but Uncertainty, Bangkok Thailand

New Beginnings, new futures

Minh was a youth leader in his house church. Authorities monitored him closely, accusing him of spreading a “foreign religion.” Leaders like Minh were labeled dangerous.

When friends were arrested, Minh fled his home, hoping to one day reunite with his family.

For many persecuted Christians, crossing the border into Thailand feels like a moment of answered prayer. It is the first night in months, or years, when they are no longer being actively hunted, interrogated, or threatened for their faith. Months after arriving in Thailand, men came to his refugee community asking about him. Messages soon followed, urging him to return “for his own good.” Many fleeing Christians apply for protection through the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). This long process is often misunderstood by outsiders and underestimated by donors.

​

Through CAP, Minh received, protection, advocacy, case coordination, and pastoral counseling. Eventually leading to his introduction to VCRP.

Minh has been relocated to the VCRP program at Kai Dong Praporn, where he lives openly within a Christian community instead of hiding.

He receives ongoing pastoral care and medical coverage. Minh is now training in highland tea, coffee, and cacao cultivation, processing, and international trade, working within the VCRP agricultural and export program as a compensated volunteer. His earnings are saved toward future independence. 

When legal work permission is granted, Minh will operate as a highland tea and coffee trader, sourcing from Thai and refugee-run farms and selling into international markets through the VCRP trade network.

“I was hunted for my faith,” Minh says. “Now I will provide for others.”
