Missionary work began in 1975 with the arrival of German missionary Eva Studeman on April 28, American missionary Jack Hart on May 1, and Japanese missionary Akira Mitani on July 26.
Missionary Akira Mitani who had first come to Thailand on May 12 returned to Japan one month later, then came back to Thailand again. First of all, the missionaries devoted themselves to learning the Thai language while doing witnessing activity. Many people listened to the Principle but, in many cases, that was all.

The first member was Lek Thaveetermsakul who joined the church in 1976 while a junior in medical school. He was witnessed to by German missionary Wolfgang Schawaller who passed through Thailand on his way to Hong Kong because of a visa problem.
