Today, I’m talking to Chester and Sirikit Umaguing (Ooh-MAH-Ging). Chester and Sirikit went on the Manila Mission team together, went into the professional ministry, witnessed 400 baptisms in the first year of that planting, got married and returned to the states in 2004. They started successful careers in real estate and restaurant ownership. They then returned to the paid ministry in 2016, leading the Colorado Springs church. Two years ago they took another step forward in faith and returned to the Asian mission field, this time in Bangkok, Thailand. Bangkok has historically been a difficult mission field for Christian missions. Nevertheless, Chester and Sirikit, at the age of sixty, are baptizing and bringing revival to the college and young professional ministries in this Buddhist country. Find out what they are doing to make this life count.
