The Mission Partnership Team was formed in the spring of 2004 in order to explore ways for Knox to be involved in international missions.  The team has studied the Biblical mandate for reaching out into the world to spread God's word, explored different models of missions, learned about different countries, and traveled on mission trips to five potential sites.  The team also wrote monthly articles for the church newsletter and taught a Sunday School class.

Through this process, we believe that God led us to Payap Church in Chiang Mai, Thailand.  Only 2% of the population in Thailand are Christians and yet the Thai people are open to hearing about God's word.  Our goal is to develop a long term relationship with this church through repeated trips to this place and welcoming their members here.  We hope to exchange ideas, learn from each others' strengths and participate in sharing God's word in both places.
