Ricardo & Alicia Palacios

Career Missionaries since 2011.

We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to be introduced to Jesus. For that reason, we live and work in Thailand, a country where only one percent of the population is Christian. Working with a Thai pastor and an international team, we are currently concluding our formal culture study and applying what we have learned to establishing a self-sustaining, lasting Seventh-day Adventists movement led by the Thai believers in this country. We are reaching out to our community and connecting with people in many ways, including through our new music school, Peace Music Academy and are very much encouraged to see how God is at work in this place.

Ghosts?

A gust of wind slammed the classroom door shut with a bang, interrupting Khruu’s ghost story. Khruu jumped and immediately began to wai in the direction of the door, folding her hands and bowing slightly. “Khor tot!” she said softly, apologizing to the presence she was sure was there.

My Friends

I watched Pii Laddawan scale her starfruit tree with agility that belied her age. Ajahn and I admired her flexibility as she stretched from one branch to another, plucking the ripe fruits that would go into my first enzyme-making experiment.

Closeness

Every morning our postures are pressed into shape by the bodies of other people boarding the Sky-Train. There isn’t even standing room, but one more person will step backwards into the mass of humanity and exhale while the doors close an inch or so from his nose.
