The beginning of the church started when a group of the villagers who committed wrong according to the village norms consequently they had to moved out of the animism. Villagers at that time had no idea who they can consult with. Thus they consulted with a primary school teacher in the village. The teacher name was Priroj. Fortunately Teacher Priroj knew a pastor in his village. Later on Teacher Priroj brought the issue and consulted with Pastor Srimoon Chaiwangyen who served the Lord in Fang Min, Chiangrai Province. From that time, Pastor Srimoon started evangelism. He traveled by a 70 cc. motorcycle to reach to this village.
In this village, the evangelism was started in the house of Mr.Sunthorn Rakprisakun, who was first person received Christ. He allowed to Pastor Srimoon to utilize his house as the evangelism and devotional.
The language barrier caused difficulties in communication Pastor Srimoon Chaiwangyen had invited Mr.Ah Bye Joe Baw who was intern bible student to come to be his Akha translator (Currently Mr.Ah Bye Joe Baw is evangelist and founder of Mercy House)
Later on Mr.Chaiyot Kukaewkasem who was the bible internship student invited to join in the ministry for translating Akha. Currently Rev. Dr. Chaiyot Kukaewkasem is the founder of Grace Home and Akha Outreach Foundation. At that time, Rev.Chaiyot used a motorcycle to reach to the village. Not long ago Pastor Srimoon received a bigger motorcycle so he gave his 70 cc. motorcycle to Rev.Chaiyot. God blessed Pastor Srimoon with a Toyota pickup as well as the physical needs. The building has been constructed for worshipping and number of believers has been increased. The ministry has been expansion and more people nearby Pa Du for example Saen Jai Pattana had heard the gospel as well.
