The Chiang Khong Christian Education Center (CCEC)
Mrs. Siuwan Dorcas Ma Ho and her husband Rev. Santisatitpong (went home to the Lord in 2015) had ministered to the Chinese and Thais in Northern Thailand's villages for many years, and they had planted several churches among them. They joined CCM in 1991, and they established the Chiang Khong Christian Education Center (CCEC) in 1994. Through mission in education they responded to Jesus' Great Commission: "Make disciples of all nations." The work of CCEC are divided into four areas:
Keetaleela Dorm
(Established in May 1994)
Goals:
To know the truth and become a disciple of Christ.
To start the day with the word of God, and to have the Bible as the guidelines for one’s daily life. There are currently 34 students.
God has led many students to Him during these past years. Their lives were built up by God. There is currently eight staff who were former students at the dorm.
Wiang Thong Baptist Church
(Established in March 1995)

Christian Sangpratheep School
(Established in May 1998)
Total Classes:
•Two kindergarten classes
•six classes in primary school
•3 secondary school classes
• 365 students
• 20 teaching staff total.
In order to allow more children the opportunity to receive a quality Christian education and to follow the government policy of nine-year free education, students were exempted from school fees beginning in 2005. The school received 50% of funds from the government, while the rest is dependent upon provision from God. Thank God that in November 2009 we were approved for full funding from the government, with free lunch for the kindergarten and primary students.
The motto from the Bible: Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it. (Proverbs 22:6)
School Motto: To know the truth, and become a student of diligence and virtue.
By the grace of the Lord, a Christian school was founded based upon the principles of the Scripture. It emphasizes on knowing the truth, diligence, and virtue. Spiritual life and knowledge are to grow together. Attention is given to building up the body, mind, and soul of students so that they can become a witness for the Lord and affect those in the community.
Action: The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Every morning before work the teaching staff gather together and study the word of God, worship, and pray. Before the classes begin the students recite the word of God and pray. In addition to Bible classes and weekly worship sessions for each grade, small groups are held to further allow students to explore faith. Students are free to participate.
