Global Run Asia

Global Run Asia will start in July 2016 in Thailand. We will assist children with running training, equipment and also be involved in their personal lives and family lives. Our Vision : reaching the children of Thailand with the Gospel of Jesus Christ through sport,  and planting a church in that community through relationships, events and discipling. We have seen how lives of children change trough this running program, and we would like to get more involve, adding the gospel of Jesus to this environment. Follow us   through this journey on our blogs, or contact me on my email...

                  Our Thailand Sport Ministry takes place in Phuket. We have many children runners who are currently doing very well in athletics. During December and early January we were so blessed to receive a donation to take care of most of the children's running shoes. We were able to buy 14 pairs of shoes. It was donated by a head of school, where the GCEX teams served in the past here in Phuket, Thailand. We are praying for support to help promote education and sport, and you can contact me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.  ...

Even after several years, I am still challenged almost every day. There are so many, but now I want to share with you my challenge called, 5 minutes.

Dear friends, One of the most valuable things I have learned from GCEX, is the meaning and understanding of discipleship. We are currently sharing food with non-believers as a way of discipleship. We have shown and shared the love and care of Jesus Christ by opening our home to people, and giving food or help to those in need. We also shared our hope and trust in the Lord, and we witnessed how people are brought one step closer to Jesus. We call it……DISCIPLESHIP.

In Phuket Thailand I can see the monthly growth in sport. All kinds of sport is picking up, and aspecially running and cycling.   Part of my ministry here in Thailand is sport. I am working together with the organizer of a running club, which involves children from 5 to 70 years old ! Training every day and competing almost once a week. Up to now I was able to help with transporting athletes and sponsoring some running shoes to children who needed it. This ministry is very good in helping children to get involve in sport, fitness and competing....

Running in Phuket, Thailand has and still is a big challenge to me. Heat and humidity is not your friend during marathons. It doesn’t matter if it’s 6 in the morning or later during the day; 29 degrees Celsius and humidity over 90% will makes things tough. But still, sport is practiced more and more here in Phuket and it is good to see young children taking part in this. Speaking about young children, I would like to introduce to you this young lady in our club. Under 6 years old, she has won many events in her category and...

Tobi Basson Last night I was asked : " Yes you believe what you believe, but what about what other people believe and their religion ?" I could not think of anything, but the Spirit of the Lord that is in me, made me say this : " First I did no believe anything, but when I received the Sprit of the Lord, He made me believe. If I was not driven by the Spirit, I would not believe anything ; I would have no religion. So my God is real, for only His Spirit could change me."  

The Kidz ! Thank you for those who helped us in the past to provide clothing and training for the children in my area. This sport-ministry has taken off again on a high note here in Phuket, and we are excited about it. Children have grown out of old shoes and clothes, and we need to provide again. We will try to support them again with funds for training, clothing and competition fees. And if we are lucky, we can even sponsor a prize here an there, opening children's hearts to a good lifestyle and Christ ! You are welcome...
