Maesot Biblical Training Center exists to provide training for men and women to perform various ministries upon graduating from MBTC. These students come from surrounding areas in Thailand, Burma and beyond. Many preachers have been trained at MBTC and are now serving in churches in the mountains of Thailand, Burma, and other locations proclaiming God's word and adding new converts to the kingdom everyday.
In a country that is 95% Buddhist, 4% Muslim with very little Christian influence the work is important in order to gain a foothold with the truth found in God's word. This is done by active evangelistic efforts by Ezekiel Fish and other staff members and graduates of MBTC. Some amazing results have been achieved with the Lisu and Lahu tribes of Thailand and Burma. There are thousands of refuges living in camps with living conditions far worse than seen in other areas of the world. For many, there is little to no hope of receiving aid of any type. Often the only aid many of these people ever see is from visiting Missions Teams and the staff of MBTC.
Maesot Biblical Training Center also acts as a staging area for visiting Missions Teams that come to provide humanitarian and medical assistance in villages and camps as needed and directed by Ezekiel Fish. Sometimes the purpose of a team visit is to provide medical screening for Burmese refugees and other times it is to teach or preach at MBTC or to help build new facilities as needed.
This is a constantly expanding ministry with a proven need to provide the services offered and more. In the years to come it is hoped that more preachers and teachers can be trained to work in some of the remote areas of the region and that more willing people with needed skills will come to offer their aid and expertise.
Other ongoing projects of MBTC include the distribution of bibles printed for the Lisu and Lahu tribes of the area. MBTC also distributes mosquito netting for families and other supplies when available.
