The Evangelical Fellowship of Thailand (Thai: สหกิจคริสเตียนแห่งประเทศไทย) is an umbrella organization for various evangelical churches, parachurch organizations, and foundations, and is one of five Christian groups legally recognized by the Thai government. ==History== Following World War II, many evangelical missionary groups began missionary work in Thailand, including OMF International, the Southern Baptists, WEC, New Tribes Mission, Finnish Free Foreign Mission, Marburger Mission, Presbyterian Church in Korea (K.I.M.), Child Evangelism Fellowship and Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada. 〔Smith, Alex, "Siamese Gold, A History of Church Growth in Thailand: An Interpretive Analysis 1816-1982", Bangkok: Kanok Bannasan (OMF Publishers Thailand),1982, p.222, 226.〕 These groups chose to not work under the existing national church, the Church of Christ in Thailand (CCT), due to concerns about that denomination’s ecumenical activity and ties to the World Council of Churches and the mainline American denomination Presbyterian Church (USA). These varied evangelical groups worked independently from both the CCT and each other, but in the mid-1950s a number of them decided that inter-denominational and inter-organizational co-operation and fellowship was needed. This desire on the part of both evangelical missionaries and Thai Christian leaders led to the formation of the Evangelical Fellowship of Thailand (EFT). The EFT was formally recognized as a legal entity on June 19, 1969, and its first moderator was Rev. Suk Phongnoi. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of the Evangelical Fellowship of Thailand )〕
