Project: Business as Mission Hostel – $55,000 (Completed)
Within Reach Global opened Red Panda Hostel & Cafe in October 2024 in a prime location in Chiang Mai, Thailand’s booming tourism industry. This hostel and coffee shop is open to the public and also serves as much-needed housing for visiting short-term mission teams, raising funds to support indigenous missionaries and extending gospel outreach in Thailand.
Red Panda Hostel & Cafe provides accommodations for 200 short-term missionaries and 12 interns each year. Furthermore, the 28-bed capacity allows us to accept bookings from tourists and visitors, which increases our revenue and ability to generate capital for gospel outreach. This Business as Mission (BAM) approach enables Within Reach Global to grow the number of gospel presentations that have occurred over the years, totaling more than 100,000.
Our target demographic is Within Reach Global's short-term mission teams who come to Thailand to help extend gospel access among unreached people. Additionally, this project serves visiting tourists, providing lodging during their trips. The financial income generated from these target demographics allow us to reach Thai college students, underprivileged communities, tribal people groups, and rural villages in Thailand. The individuals, families, and communities we serve are some of Southeast Asia's most unreached and unengaged people in the 10/40 Window, yet they are open to spiritual and societal change.
Red Panda Hostel & Cafe is located in Chiang Mai in northern Thailand, the country's second-largest city and a major tourist destination. This region is home to Southeast Asia's most unreached communities.
As our main objective is twofold: providing accommodations for our short-term mission teams and generating financial income to extend our reach among unreached communities in Thailand and the surrounding nations. Additionally, Red Panda Coffee is becoming a profitable and recognizable brand in Chiang Mai, and the addition of the hostel boosts our Business as Mission (BAM) initiatives. Online reviews, booking websites, advertisements, and a strong social media presence has established this business as a hotspot in Chiang Mai, helping to achieve financial and ministry success. This Business as Mission generates the capital to engage a unreached communities and reach people for Christ.

Generous donors helped Within Reach Global raise $55,000 to open Red Panda Hostel & Cafe in Chiang Mai, Thailand, in October 2024. This for-profit Business as Mission (BAM) venture was established through our sister company, Fusion Global Co. Ltd., allowing us to capitalize on Thailand’s thriving tourism industry and produce revenue to support local missionaries in Chiang Mai and other areas across Thailand. After almost 200 years of Protestant missionary work in Thailand, the future leaders of Thailand and its neighbors still await a gospel imprint, compelling us think outside the box to impact Thailand for Christ
To address these needs, Within Reach Global and our sister company, Fusion Global Co. Ltd., opened Red Panda Hostel & Cafe, which allows the ministry to retain finances generated from short-term mission teams and tourists. This Business as Mission (BAM) model has proved effective, with recurring reservations since its establishment. The business employs five Thai Christian staff and offers lovely accommodations for our visitors. The Red Panda coffee brand is also rising in popularity, with online five-star reviews and a strong presence in Chiang Mai.

The fulfillment of the Great Commission can only completed as every nation, tribe, people, and language group gains access to the message of Jesus Christ. Jesus clearly states in Matthew 24:14 that "this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to each nation, and then the end will come. We strongly believe in following the commands of Christ to go into all nations—particularly those without a gospel imprint—to give gospel access, disciple new believers, and plant the local church where it has not previously existed. Red Panda Hostel & Cafe generates financial income to support local outreach efforts in Southeast Asia's most unreached country.
This project is increasingly self-sustaining thanks to its Business as Mission (BAM) concept. It not only employs local Thais, but it also allows Within Reach Global Thai staff to concentrate on Christian outreach. This model supports our objective of handing over the reins to local leaders and seeing them thrive in Christian ministry for years to come.
Though Fusion Global Co. Ltd. oversees the day to day business management, the financial gains go directly to empowering locally-led ministry. We work in partnership with our local church, Victory Church Chiang Mai. We also partner together with a handful of Christian organizations like Campus Outreach, Campus Crusade for Christ, and other local Christian churches.
