Dylan Chathapathet grew up in America hearing his parents speak Thai and Lao. They were Buddhists, but he had so many questions.Throughout high school he made fun of religion, especially Christians. In the military, alcohol and negative friends pulled him down.
Unexpectedly, Dylan started dating a follower of Jesus named Cindy. He pelted her with questions. For the first time he heard words that made sense, coming out of a caring person of integrity. Dylan said, "I need power over my temptations. I need love." He chose to followCindy in her faith and way of life.
Now Dylan helps in a Home for All Nations gathering that serves immigrants. He says, “I feel so privileged because I get to translate the gospel. In the future I’d like to start a clinic in Laos. I want to share the gospel with them since they do not even know who Jesus is and what God has done for them!”
A growing number of foreign-born people in the United States are not Christians. The majority of Buddhists, Hindus, and Muslims in NorthAmerica are immigrants. About 1 in 4 don’t claim any religion as all.
As part of their human family, what should we do?
Together let’s be a Home for All Nations.
Hear Dylan's story in his own words.
