Sarun (nickname Boi) Saengthanthip was born in a Christian family in Thailand, of the Hmong people group. He put his trust in Christ as Lord and Savior when he was living in a Christian dorm for students in Chiangmai. The dorm was connected to a church where the current director of GRN Thailand (GRNT), Lot, serves on the leadership team. Boi's university studies led to an undergraduate degree in Business Administration, in the Industrial Management field. After Boi finished his bachelor degree studies, Lot invited him to join GRNT in 2010. While working with GRNT Boi got his Master's degree in Biblical studies from Bangkok Bible Seminary. Boi trained as a recordist and has recorded in several languages. He joins Lot and others in building relationships with villagers and preparing audio materials of the Gospel in various language groups throughout Thailand and in neighboring countries. When ministering in villages, Boi often encourages and shows care for villagers through a prayer and healing ministry we call "Love Touch". He is also a key part of the IT team at GRNT and takes care of the computers and office equipment as well as the office grounds.
