Project: Fusion Center – $110,000 (Completed)
Within Reach Global opened the Fusion Center in May 2024, across the street from Chiang Mai University, northern Thailand’s largest student body, with 50,000 college students in the vicinity. This student center created a gospel beachhead among Thai youth through Red Panda Cafe, a free game area, language training, evangelistic Alpha Courses, and special activities meant to engage Thai people with the gospel.
Generous donors helped Within Reach Global raise $110,000 to open the Fusion Center in Chiang Mai, Thailand, in May 2024. As Thailand’s profound gospel depravity permeates the country, campus outreach centers, ministries, and outreach are rare. Thai college students typically do not receive a clear gospel explanation, and few Christian mission centers exist at or around university campuses. After over 200 years of Protestant missionary work in Thailand, the future leaders of Thailand and its neighbors still await a gospel imprint due to the lack of a permanent student outreach center targeting college students with gospel efforts.
To address these needs, Within Reach Global established a gospel beachhead at the entrances of two main university campuses through a BAM (Business as Mission) model. This model unlocked opportunities for evangelism, discipleship, and church planting. The Fusion Center is situated at the entrance of Chiang Mai University, with a student body of 35,000, with an additional 15,000 at nearby Rajamangla University. The Fusion Center also features a coffee shop (Red Panda Cafe), a free game room, language training, Alpha Courses, and special events that are specifically designed to engage the next generation of leaders in Thailand.
This college campus student center provides Thai college students with their first gospel explanation and makes disciples among Thai youth. The Fusion Center includes a Red Panda coffee shop, a free game room, a leadership training center, cell-group discipleship opportunities, and a house of prayer. The Fusion Center partners with Victory Church Chiang Mai, a Thai/international, non-denominational, missions-focused church in northern Thailand. This relationship supports Within Reach Global’s long-term goal of making disciples in unreachable places through dynamic student outreach due to its quick expansion and student focus.
