The Udon Training Center will be a multi-use training center close to the boarder of Laos that will train leaders to shepherd a gospel movement in the Northern provinces of Thailand and Southern Laos. Housing an English Center and church, providing a place for leadership training, conducting medical & dental missions, launching sports outreach, and deploying leaders to make disciples will make Udon Training Center a hub for Christian Education.
