Kristi Hambrice’s business, Bliss Clean and Care Company, is providing jobs for women in Thailand. But why are these job opportunities so transformational? Kristi helps paint a picture of what Thai women are facing today. There are numerous dangerous and demoralizing ways for young women to make money, but she wants to help provide a better future for the women on Thailand.
Kristi Hambrice says there’s such a great pleasure of knowing God and doing what you’re supposed to do. She doesn’t want to live for a sub-narrative (the things that she does) but rather the overarching theme: knowing God and making Him known.
Kristi Hambrice talks about language as the key to unlocking culture. She deals with the nuances of cross-cultural living. But in the end, she believes that you can live on mission wherever you are. There are some definite differences in her life because of where she lives. But when Christians live intentionally wherever they are, they can create Kingdom impact. Every citizen in God’s Kingdom is significant.
Kristi Hambrice says that her simple steps of obedience led her to start a business as mission in Thailand. You don’t have to be someone else. Just be who you are. You don’t have to give up your personality and inclinations to serve God on the mission field. Instead, use your skills and giftings to glorify God wherever you are. The scope of missions is broadening. Think outside the box and use the gifts that God has given you and take joy along the journey. This mindset de-platforms and demystifies the “out there” mindset that so many Christians have about the mission of God.
