Siam: Margaret on Problems with Siamese Christians

Missionaries - Thailand

The Landons were trying to persuade the Thai Christians to tithe to support their new pastor, Charlie Hak, but the response was not good. Previous missionaries had created a lot of what the Landons called "rice Christians." They were not anxious to give. In effect, they had converted from the idol of Buddha to an idol of silver and gold.
