Memorial Service for John Davis

Memorial Service for John Davis at Phayao Bible Seminary

John Davis was an OMF missionary who came to Thailand in the late 1950s from the UK.  He found the land on which the present Phayao Bible Seminary (PBS) and was it's first principal.  John spoke Thai, Northern Thai and some tribal language fluently.  John's influence in establishing PBS and in revivals in North Thailand have left a lasting impact on the Thai church.  I can't help feeling that we lack the people of the mould of John in missions today.  They are rare.  He was much loved and honored by the Thai brothers and sisters.  As an OMF missionary, I stand of the shoulder of giants, and John was truly one of them.  "Thankyou God for this good and faithful servant."
