Pastor Sayan and Siriporn Kusavadee
For over 35 years, Pastor Sayan and Siriporn Kusavadee have served as the visionary founders and "spiritual parents" of the Home of Blessing, transforming a simple act of initial obedience into a powerful, lifelong legacy of faith. Siriporn, a nurse by training, provides the steady foundation of the home, serving as a primary discipler, mentor, and "mother" who balances teaching the Word of God with practical life skills and compassionate physical care. Her life reflects the beauty of a Proverbs 31 woman—faithful, hardworking, and full of warmth—as she leads the girls in prayer and daily life as a devoted warrior for Christ. Pastor Sayan serves as the home’s spiritual father and an anointed preacher, bringing nearly 50 years of ordained ministry and a doctorate in leadership to his role. As a respected "pastor of pastors" in Northern Thailand, he chairs the Khmu Christian Association and sits on the Evangelical Fellowship of Thailand committee, using his gifts in communication and networking to oversee the home's vital operations. Together, they have built a community deeply rooted in prayer, discipleship, and purpose, ensuring that thousands of lives are transformed by the Gospel. Today, they are joined by their adult children in ministry, joyfully carrying their multi-generational vision of faith and love forward to reach the next generation.

Fry
My name is Fry, and I graduated from the Home of Blessing in 2018. Since then, I’ve had the joy of serving at the Home of Blessing for the past seven years.
During my time serving here, I had the opportunity to complete a Discipleship Training School (DTS), which helped me grow deeper in my relationship with Jesus and strengthened my faith in a powerful way. Because of what God has done in my life, my heart is to see the girls at the Home of Blessing grow in their own relationship with Jesus—knowing His love, learning His Word, and building a strong foundation for their future.
My responsibilities change throughout the day, but my main focus is caring for the primary school girls, especially the youngest ones. I support them through their morning routine, helping them get ready for school and making sure they are cared for and encouraged. During the day, I also assist Mom Siriporn by helping prepare ingredients for meals and supporting with other tasks as needed. In addition, I serve as part of the Sunday School team, helping teach and guide the girls as they grow in faith.
