Sam and Pat Sarvis

Ministry focus: freedom, word

Bangkok, Thailand & Southeast Asia – Sam & Pat Sarvis have been serving with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) Thailand since 1981. Their heart is to bring the healing life of Jesus to the broken and hurting while helping people find and fulfill God’s eternal purpose for their lives.  In Pat and Sam’s role as elders, they help disciple, mentor and provide leadership training for missionaries in Thailand (and to a lesser degree in Southeast Asia). In their grass roots ministry role, they serve among some of Bangkok’s most vulnerable people, including homeless, deaf, sex workers and refugees, seeking to help in practical ways as well as evangelism and discipleship. Pat and Sam’s goal is to demonstrate and communicate the love of God to them and see them drawn into a relationship with Him.
