In September of 2013, 17-year-old Mallory Beecha traveled to Thailand for the first time.

She was immediately captivated by the people and the culture and knew she would be back. Less than a year later, Mallory returned to Thailand, and it has been home ever since. Thailand is where Mallory met her husband, Mayer!

They met while serving in the Homes of Hope when they were just teenagers. In 2018 they decided to get married and follow through with their commitment to the Lord to serve the “Least of These” in Thailand.

Mayer has quite a unique relationship with Compassionate Hope as he was one of the hundreds of children raised in a Home of Hope. He now knows Jesus because of this ministry. Mayer made a commitment to the Lord that when he grew up, he would come back to love and care for the children just as he received.

Mallory has the same calling to serve the fatherless amongst the nations, and now they represent Compassionate Hope in Chiang Rai, Thailand. They are currently serving in a Home of Hope and are advocates for the fatherless and stateless.

Mayer is a stateless person in Thailand and has a deep burden to fight for this cause. Many stateless persons—people without nationality/citizenship—are not given the same rights as everyone else, including proper education, healthy care, employment, and are often subject to discrimination and corruption.

Mallory and Mayer hope to spread light on this issue and to advocate for the rights of these people groups. Please pray for Mallory and Mayer and consider supporting them so they can continue to minister to the children, the stateless, and other minority people groups in Thailand.
