Who We Are

Joshua and Chitlada Bauder

We are a husband and wife dedicated to taking in and taking care of children of all ages. We love to welcome in new kids and see the changes from scared and afraid to loved and accepted. We strive to provide a safe and loving home for every child that comes through our door. We believe in giving all children the same chance at a happy and healthy life regardless of their background or personal circumstances. Children are a victim of circumstance and we want to be there to make sure they can have the life that God promised them.

Sirisuda Boonraksa, Chompoo

She is a very loving and caring as well as a teacher, mom, aunt, sister and friend. She is always there for people when they need her and she is willing to help in any way she can. She is also very supportive and encouraging when it comes to our kids dreams and goals. She is also patient and understanding with others and is always willing to listen and offer advice. She is always playing and singing with the kids as well as getting dirty in arts and crafts or enjoying playing games with the kids, more than the kids do. She is truly a special person in all of our lives.

Boonyada Dechsri, Preaw

Our daughter Preaw, has been a faithful believer for many years now, and has taken the next step in her spiritual journey by becoming a co-labourer for Christ. She is committed to doing whatever it takes to bring the gospel message to the world and to make a difference in people’s lives. We are proud of her and her commitment to serve the Lord. She lives with the girls and is a loyal advisor, and is always looking for ways to spread the love of Jesus to those around her. We are thankful for her and are excited to see how God will use her in His kingdom work.

They have been serving as missionaries in Thailand since November of 2012, but their journey to missions started long before then. In 2009, about four months after Kyle married Cindi, they decided to apply with Adventist Frontier Missions.

For the next couple of years they wrestled with whether or not God was truly calling them overseas.
