Vision: To see people in northern Thailand experience abundant life in Christ through transformational community development.

I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." John 10:10

Who We Are: Full Life Development is a community development ministry based in northern Thailand  meeting physical and spiritual needs through our programs in communities, schools, and churches.  

Started in 2005 by Nathan and Bethany Scott, Full Life Development currently has four Thai workers in Thailand, an Executive Director/Administrator and Board of Directors in the U.S., plus volunteer partners in the U.S. and Thailand. 

Mission: Integrate physical and spiritual ministry to meet needs of individuals and entire communities.

Strategy: Training using the Community Health Evangelism (CHE) model to meet the physical and spiritual needs of individuals and entire communities.

 FLD primarily works with minority peoples who are economically and politically disadvantaged, with a focus on the Shan people group.  Most are refugees from Burma (Myanmar) who have resettled in Thailand. Almost all are unreached by the Gospel.
